Light-filled and well-configured, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Bessborough House offers immediate, low-effort living with strong rental and owner-occupier appeal. The open-plan living/dining room flows onto a south-facing wrap-around balcony with river views, and the primary bedroom benefits from an ensuite. Two allocated parking spaces (underground/secure) are included — a rare convenience in riverside developments.
Practical details support easy ownership: approximately 852 sq ft, triple glazing, step-free access and wider doorways make the flat family- and wheelchair-friendly. The long lease (about 900 years) and chain-free sale reduce friction for buyers. Monthly service charge is around £360 (noted as below average) and heating is provided via a community scheme included in the service charge.
Buyers should note the material leasehold costs: the stated ground rent equates to £4,800 (extreme) and will materially affect running costs and future mortgage/lease considerations. The property sits within a post-2003 riverside development, so communal upkeep and management are relevant ongoing expenses. School ratings in the area are mixed; nearby primary and secondary options include both Good and Requires Improvement Ofsted outcomes.
This apartment suits first-time buyers and investors seeking a low-maintenance riverside home with parking and attractive light and views. Be aware of higher than typical ground rent and communal service arrangements when assessing long-term affordability.
