2 bed 2 bath Flat
Compact, modern residence with balcony and en suite—ideal for first-time buyers or landlords.
- Private balcony with water views
- Open-plan living area and modern fitted kitchen
- Principal bedroom with en suite
- Small overall size (approx. 496 sq ft)
- Leasehold with service charge ~£1,600pa and ground rent £275pa
- High local flood risk and higher-than-average crime
- Community heating scheme (limited individual control)

This compact two-bedroom flat in Centenary Quay offers a ready-to-move-in layout with clear waterside views from a private balcony. The open-plan living area and modern fitted kitchen suit contemporary living or a straightforward rental setup. The principal bedroom includes an en suite and both bedrooms are naturally bright.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (approx. 496 sq ft) and sold leasehold with average service charges and a ground rent. Heating is provided via a community scheme, and there are ongoing communal costs to factor into monthly budgets. Flood risk in the area is high and the immediate neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels; these are material issues for owner-occupiers and insurers.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby amenities — shops, bars, childcare and bus links — useful for commuters and renters. The accommodation’s condition is described as well presented, reducing initial renovation outlay, but buyers seeking more space or private heating should expect compromises.
For investors, the combination of water views, modern finishes and central location supports rental appeal, though running costs, leasehold charges and local risk factors will affect yields. For first-time buyers, the flat provides a low-maintenance entry into the city market but requires careful consideration of insurance and long-term suitability given size and local vulnerabilities.
