Description

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac within a pleasant crescent, this freshly decorated two-bedroom apartment offers a bright and ready-to-move-in home. Perfect for first-time buyers, the property benefits from a chain-free sale, an allocated parking space, and modern upgrades including 2025-installed electric heaters, hot water cylinder, and bathroom.

The interior feels crisp and inviting, centered around an open-plan living area that extends out onto a private balcony, ideal for a morning coffee. The sleeping quarters consist of two well-proportioned double bedrooms; one enjoys plenty of natural light through dual-aspect windows, while the other features a Juliet balcony. A standout feature is the newly installed bathroom, finished with stylish marble-effect tiles and a contemporary suite.

Set within a well-maintained building, the apartment is surrounded by well-maintained communal grounds in a pleasant cul-de-sac / crescent. The allocated parking space adds a level of convenience often sought after in the area, providing peace of mind for car owners.

The location strikes a great balance between quiet residential living and easy commuting. You are within walking distance of scenic canal paths, local parks, and the River Thames Path for weekend strolls. Excellent transport links via bus connect you quickly to the Elizabeth Line, DLR, and Mainline stations, while Thamesmead Shopping Centre and local primary schools are just a short trip away.
