An unusually large two-bedroom apartment in Arethusa House, positioned on Gunwharf Quays waterfront with commanding multi-directional sea views. The layout includes a spacious lounge/dining room, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with en-suite facilities, and two balconies that capture the harbour aspect. Allocated underground parking is included, and the apartment is offered furnished and ready to let or occupy.
This property is marketed as an investment opportunity: the location attracts strong rental demand from professionals and short-stay visitors drawn to the marina, restaurants and transport links. The sizeable 1,055 sq ft footprint and dual balconies help the apartment rent and resale appeal, while the double glazing and modern construction (2003–2006) reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold, with a service charge around £3,200 pa and a ground rent of £100 pa. Council tax is above average for the area, and the wider neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels—factors investors should include when modelling net returns and insurance costs.
Overall, this is a turnkey waterfront apartment well suited to a buy-to-let portfolio or a buyer seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre in a sought-after maritime quarter. The combination of generous internal space, waterfront balconies and secure underground parking make it a strong candidate for professional tenants or holiday lettings, provided running costs and local safety statistics are factored into projections.
