This two-bedroom apartment at The Wharf benefits from uninterrupted river views and a bright open-plan living/kitchen spanning approximately 765 sq ft. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light, while the main bedroom includes an ensuite for added convenience. Off-street parking and secure entry systems (video intercom and fob) add practical value for residents.
The building was constructed around 1996–2002 and offers modern finishes throughout, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working or streaming. The property is leasehold with 121 years remaining, making it straightforward to mortgage for many buyers. Flood risk is low and the riverside location places shops, cafés and leisure amenities within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the apartment uses electric room heaters rather than a communal heating system, which can increase running costs. Service charges average £2,000 per year and ground rent is £150; council tax is above average. The neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan, student-oriented area with higher local crime rates — an important factor for families or security-conscious buyers to consider.
Overall this apartment will suit a first-time buyer seeking a bright, low-flood riverside home or an investor targeting rental demand near universities and amenities. The combination of strong connectivity, parking and modern living space is a clear selling point, but budget realistically for energy costs, service charges and the local safety profile.
