Listing Description

Property reference:- 1589 Home to a family with 2 children aged 5-12 yrs and teenage/adult children who may or may not be with them : Sleeps 9-11 people in 4 bedrooms & spare sitting room.

This location is close to central London (3.5 miles from Tower bridge), but due to it being on the Isle of Dogs, inside a loop of the Thames, it is relatively quiet with no through traffic. There is a riverside walkway/cycle path outside the garden, and a Thames sand/shingle beach by the back gate. There are great river views from all windows looking across to the Millennium Dome. There are excellent connections to central London with DLR trains (7 minute walk) and Underground station (Jubilee line).

The apartment is on the ground floor, 6 floors to the block, and it was originally 2 apartments that have been connected. There are 2 separate front doors, 2 sitting rooms (one with TV), 3 toilets/bathrooms/shower and 2 kitchens, all ground floor.Being in an apartment the family has lots of close neighbours who are kind and helpful, and it's a close and friendly community.

The private garden runs alongside the apartment and is enclosed with a gate directly on to the river path. It's mostly laid to lawn with shrubs, patio areas, garden chairs & table, & fire basket. There are also :- 13' rectangular trampoline with net surround, go karts, a range of bikes, gym mats and a beam. And a full size table tennis table in the garden, and pool/snooker table indoors! Anyone who has a Kayak/Canoe/sailing boat can launch it from the beach by the back gate (slip way there), as no permits are required on the tidal stretches of the Thames. The beach there is great for paddling & playing with sand in the summer. There is off-road parking with permits available for as many cars as needed. The property is now inside the ULEZ zone but not inside the congestion zone. Shops & eating places are within 10 mins walk.
