This bright one-bedroom first-floor flat on Wheat Sheaf Close offers a compact, well-connected base minutes from Mudchute DLR and within easy walking distance of Canary Wharf. The apartment sits in a modern development (built 1996–2002) and includes a designated off-street parking space and use of communal gardens — useful extras in this part of the Isle of Dogs.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: an open-plan living area, a double bedroom and a modern fitted bathroom and kitchen. Large windows provide good natural light for the apartment’s size (approximately 430 sq ft). The current heating is via electric room heaters, which keeps installation simple but may lead to higher running costs compared with gas or communal systems.
Practical details that affect cost and ownership are straightforward: leasehold with about 116 years remaining, an average service charge of £2,700 pa (water included) and an average ground rent of £350 pa. These running costs should be weighed against the location’s strong rental demand and rapid links to Canary Wharf, Bank and the City — making the flat suited to first-time buyers seeking a commuter base or investors targeting lettings to professionals.
Notable positives are the free parking space, excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, low local crime and very low flood risk. The main compromises are the apartment’s small overall size and the electric room heating; there may also be limited scope to extend the living space within the existing footprint. Overall, this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom with clear commuting advantages and predictable holding costs.
