Summary - Flat 40 Ensign House Tavern Quay, Rope Street SE16 7EX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one-bedroom with balcony and concierge; long lease but high service charges.
Fifth-floor one-bedroom with private balcony and large windows
Bright, fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment in Ensign House offering a large reception, integrated kitchen and a private balcony. The open-plan layout and large windows create a light, contemporary living space suited to first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready home near the River Thames.
Practical benefits include an on-site concierge, excellent mobile and broadband, and a long lease (239 years). Surrey Quay station is a short walk away and local shops, cafés and green spaces are readily accessible, making everyday errands and commutes straightforward.
Notable costs and local context are important: the service charge is approximately £3,760 per year and ground rent c.£673 per year, which is comparatively high. The property is in an inner-city area with above-average crime and pockets of deprivation — factors to consider for long-term living or rental prospects.
Overall, this flat suits a buyer who values contemporary, low-maintenance living with good transport links and a long lease, but who is comfortable with higher running costs and the mixed local area profile.
