857 sq ft two-bedroom, open-plan reception with balcony and river views
This bright two-bedroom apartment occupies 857 sq ft in Victoria Wharf on Narrow Street, with an open-plan reception and a private balcony overlooking the Thames and Canary Wharf skyline. The U-shaped kitchen integrates with the living area to create sociable, contemporary space; the master bedroom includes an ensuite and the second bedroom has built-in storage.
Practical strengths include a designated off-street parking space, a very long effective tenure (freehold with c.970 years remaining) and very low flood risk. The block dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown) and a boiler with radiators for heating.
Notable costs and considerations are the above-average service charge of £6,000 and an expensive council tax band — factor running costs into affordability. Main fuel is electricity (not a communal system), which can affect bills; glazing date is unknown and there may be future maintenance after two decades of occupation.
The location suits commuters and city workers: Limehouse DLR and marina are a short walk away for Canary Wharf, the City, Stratford and London City Airport. Local amenities include cafes, pubs, restaurants and a promenade atmosphere, while several highly rated primary and secondary schools sit within easy reach.
