Compact, commuter-friendly starter close to DLR and Canary Wharf.
Ground-floor one-bedroom with direct communal-garden access
A compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat with direct access to a communal garden and rare off-street parking — a practical first purchase in Poplar. The living room opens through French doors to the garden, creating light and easy indoor-outdoor flow; the double bedroom and hallway storage keep the layout straightforward and usable. Transport links are strong, with Langdon Park and Devons Road DLR nearby and quick routes into Canary Wharf and the City.
Buyers should weigh the material facts: the property runs on electric room heaters (no communal gas), broadband speeds are very slow, and the area records above-average crime with high local deprivation. The flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining, a nominal ground rent of £1 and an average service charge of around £1,350 a year — both important when assessing mortgage and long-term costs.
Built in the early 1990s, the block is modern and double glazed, but the apartment will benefit from updating to improve energy efficiency and comfort. For a first-time buyer this offers low council tax, step-free access, and outside space — tangible advantages — while buyers planning longer-term ownership should consider lease length, running costs and broadband before committing.
In short: a well-located, garden-facing starter home with real commuter appeal and clear scope for improvement. It suits someone seeking an affordable entry into E14 who is prepared to budget for heating, connectivity and gradual modernisation.
