Set on the riverfront within the Pierhead Lock development, this bright dual-aspect two-bedroom apartment offers uninterrupted Thames and O2 views. The generous open-plan reception leads to a private balcony, creating an inviting living space for dining and relaxing. Underground parking and a secure gated development add practical convenience for busy city life.
The apartment sits in a modern, well-maintained riverside block with communal landscaped grounds and direct riverside access. The long lease (970 years) provides ownership security, making the property suitable for buyers seeking a stable leasehold in a prime E14 location. Local transport links and Canary Wharf amenities are within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the high annual service charge (£6,800) and a ground rent of £400, which affect holding costs. Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, and council tax is in a high band; these running costs are important for budgeting. Crime levels in the area are above average, so prospective buyers should consider security needs despite the gated development and day porter.
Overall this is a contemporary riverside apartment with strong view premium and commuter convenience. It suits couples or small families seeking a centrally located home with parking and water views, provided they accept the higher service and tax costs.
