A bright two-bedroom apartment on the second floor with direct views over the River Thames and a private south-facing balcony. The open-plan reception and fitted kitchen create a comfortable living space for a couple or first-time buyers wanting riverside living close to transport links. The property is sold with a very long lease (994 years) and a share of freehold, plus an allocated parking space and building porterage.
Practical considerations include electric storage heating and an EPC rating of C. Service charges are above average at £5,477 per year and council tax is described as expensive — factor these running costs into your budget. There is also an unresolved note about possible external cladding; the building is under six floors and any cladding may not have been tested. Prospective buyers should make enquiries about the external wall system and any remediation or interim safety measures.
Location is a strong selling point: immediate access to Wapping Overground station, frequent buses to the City and Canary Wharf, and riverside walking routes to St Katharine Docks. Local amenities — shops, cafes and restaurants — are within easy walking distance, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. Overall, this is a convenient, well-located riverside apartment with clear appeal for buyers prioritising transport, views and long lease security, provided they accept the higher running costs and investigate the external wall system.
