Set on the 17th floor of a riverside high-rise, this compact studio offers spectacular long-distance city and river views and immediate move-in potential with no chain. The apartment’s efficient layout includes a built-in Murphy bed, a compact kitchen, and a separate shower room — ideal for a single occupant or a lettings portfolio targeting students and city workers.
The building is EWS1 compliant with on-site security and communal facilities, which supports tenant appeal and resaleability. The long lease (231 years) and low council tax further reduce ongoing ownership costs. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working or high-demand tenants.
Buyers should note the flat’s limited internal space (approximately 327 sq ft) and restricted storage; there’s no private outdoor space. The wider area is a busy, multicultural student neighbourhood and has a very high crime rating locally, which may affect suitability for some buyers and impact rental premiums. Service charges and exact energy rating are not provided and should be confirmed before purchase.
Overall this studio is a low-entry, city-centre option for a first-time buyer or investor seeking strong location and view credentials, but factor in the compact footprint, high-crime local profile, and potential communal costs when assessing value.
