Step into this light, fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment in Compass House, a modern riverside development in Wandsworth. The east-facing private balcony delivers pleasant river views and morning sun, while the open-plan living space and separate kitchen provide practical, everyday living for first-time buyers or young professionals.
The layout offers two double bedrooms and a family bathroom across a comfortable 797 sq ft. Onsite amenities include 24-hour concierge, a Virgin Active gym (payable) and a convenience store, adding everyday convenience. Secure underground parking is available to rent or buy by separate negotiation — a valuable perk in SW18.
Practical considerations: the flat is chain-free and sits on a long lease (971 years). Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the service charge is relatively high at £4,090 per year with ground rent £300. Council tax is noted as expensive. These running costs should be factored into affordability calculations.
Well connected by foot to Wandsworth Town station and close to Old York Road and Northcote Road’s cafes and shops, the apartment suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance, well-located London base with good transport links and riverside character. The property represents a convenient, modern home with clear potential for cosmetic updating to personalise the space.
