This newly refurbished two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits directly beside a peaceful canal, offering bright outlooks and a modern finish throughout. At around 501 sq ft the layout is compact and practical, aimed at first-time buyers or couples seeking a low-hassle move into central Wapping.
Practical perks include an allocated off-street parking space, a communal garden for the small block and a very long share-of-freehold lease (990 years). The property is chain free and finished with double glazing and contemporary kitchen fittings, so immediate occupation is straightforward.
Location is a strong selling point: waterfront walks, St Katherine’s Dock and Tobacco Dock nearby, with Wapping station 0.4 miles and Tower Bridge 0.9 miles offering easy City and Canary Wharf links. Local amenities, pubs and riverside eateries are within easy reach, and there are several highly rated primary schools close by.
Buyers should note the apartment’s modest overall size — best suited to a couple or small family — and that broadband speeds are reported as very slow. Annual service charge is approximately £1,500 and council tax is moderate; crime levels are average for the area. These are factual points to weigh against the long lease, central location and allocated parking.
