Not possible or affordable? It is with this rare property. One of only a very limited number of flats of this layout in the development and on floor one you are closest to the park greenery. Your huge private terrace (50 sq. M/539 sq. foot - 16 1' x 33 6') makes you feel like you're living within the award-winning Thames Barrier Park. You can see the greenery when sat on your sofa. And there's even more with well-maintained gardens surrounding you and all windows to 3 sides looking at greenery. Beyond the green space is blue space of 250 acres of water and nearly 12 miles of waterfront in the Royal Docks. The development has direct access to a lovely riverside walkway. The park has a nice cafe within it and there are many eateries within 5-minute walk as well as dry cleaner, GP practice, dentist, post office, pharmacy and riverside pub. A total of 1448 sq. ft / 135 sq. m of space (interior + terrace). This modern apartment is full of natural light (which is not common in alternatives that are across from one another on small streets and blocking each other's light). From the large reception room, you access the separate kitchen and huge roof terrace. Both bedrooms comfortably fit king size beds (one is currently used as an office). The master bedroom with en-suite has ample storage with its built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom also benefits from a built-in mirrored wardrobe. The owners have modernised since purchasing in 2016, upgrading the boiler and adding a new bathroom and flooring (+skirtings) throughout to name a few. The entire flat is recently freshly painted. Allocated underground secure parking space is included but further than that there is space for an additional permitted car on the upper-level car park as well as free visitor parking. And there's no additional service charge for the parking space, as is the case with other neighbouring developments. Bike storage is offered in the underground carpark. 24x7 concierge service are on hand to take your parcels and watch security cameras. Staff have worked in the development for many years and are knowledgeable and super friendly. The development has circa 250 flats and is run by a Right To Manage (RTM) - you are a voting member and can elect your leaseholder directors who hold the management company to account and can fire the management company if service levels are unsatisfactory. This gives you a voice and influence. You can stand to be a director of the RTM yourself. A fulltime handyman is employed by the development enabling quick fixes. It is a secure, gated development. The residents' gym is included and is very rarely busy making it super easy to get that workout in when you are short on time. With one of the best martial arts gyms in the country over the dock, fitness classes in the park, and tennis courts to rent nearby there’s lots of options for keeping fit. You can also exercise right on your very own large terrace. You have shared access to the roof terrace on the top of the highest part of the building providing stunning views across London - some residents get together to watch the fireworks from this viewing platform on New Years Eve. You can swim in the docks nearby, paddleboard and waterski. They create a beach in summer for the kids to enjoy. The Excel Centre hosts many great events including Formula E and is currently being expanded to provide even more experiences on your doorstep. Greenwich and the O2 Area is short hop away either via river boat, cable car or tube. The river boat service that is on your doorstop also goes to central London as an alternative commuting option. Make your commute easier with only a 2-minute walk to Pontoon Dock DLR station. Custom House for Elizabeth Line is also walkable (and set to be improved with a new bridge over the dock incoming). The close DLR makes it quick and simple to get into central, but you can live away from the hustle and bustle with somewhere quieter to retreat to. Being East it's quick to exit London and be on the M25. Retail parks including Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, B&Q, Dunelm, Sports Direct and many more are a short drive away or DLR to Beckton. A large Morrisons is 2 stops away next to Canning Town Station, where you can also change for the Jubilee line. Stratford Westfield shopping centre is 10 minutes away on the DLR. The Royal Docks is undergoing a multi-billion regeneration. Uniquely, it is also the meeting point of two growth corridors, an Opportunity Area, and London’s only Enterprise Zone, making it poised for rapid growth. And is given significant attention by the Mayor of London whose office is within the Royal Docks. This is an up-and-coming area that will only get better over time with lots of exiting plans in place. City Airport is a positive enabling easy travel and weekend breaks as well as bringing jobs to the local area. It's a small airport with a short runway. Flights are not very frequent, and planes are much smaller than those that fly from Stanstead, Heathrow or Gatwick. There are restrictions on flight times, and this applies particularly on weekends. The area is largely professionals who work in places like Canary Wharf of Bank as these can be reached with no train change (Poplar for Canary Wharf). Storage units on the terrace are very useful and are included in the price. An outside tap was recently fitted. Stamp duty is increasing for all property purchases from April 2025.
