This fifth-floor, chain-free apartment is a compact, well-presented lateral home in the financial district, ideal for a city professional or investor. The open-plan reception leads to a private balcony and benefits from plentiful natural light, integrated kitchen, and built-in bedroom storage. A concierge and lift add daily convenience in a modern development completed in the mid-2000s.
Practical details are straightforward: double glazing, electric underfloor heating, and a long lease of 123 years. The property is offered leasehold with an above-average service charge and a relatively high ground rent; council tax is also above average. These running costs affect total monthly expenditure and should be reviewed against intended use, whether owner-occupier or buy-to-let.
Location is a major asset: moments from Fenchurch Street and Tower Hill stations, Leadenhall Market and riverside amenities, with excellent transport, fast broadband and plentiful local services. Note the local crime level is very high according to available data; buyers should factor personal security and insurance implications into their plans.
The building’s external wall materials have been assessed and deemed not to require remedial fire-safety works. The apartment requires no immediate renovation but is best suited to those seeking a modern, low-maintenance city base rather than a large-family dwelling.
