This one-bedroom apartment in Whitehouse Apartments offers a compact, well-presented home with direct views toward Waterloo Bridge and the Thames. At about 517 sq ft (48 sqm) the layout provides a bright reception/dining room, separate fitted kitchen and a bedroom with built-in storage — a tidy city-centre base for someone wanting central South Bank living.
Residents benefit from substantial on-site facilities: indoor heated pool, gym and spa, expansive rooftop terrace, courtyard garden and a 24-hour concierge. The flat includes a secure underground parking space and triple glazing; the lease is exceptionally long (circa 970 years), which supports longer-term ownership or resale.
Buyers should note practical costs and local context. The service charge is high (approximately £8,072 pa) and council tax is described as expensive; these make monthly running costs significant. The surrounding area records very high crime levels, which may concern some purchasers despite the secure development and concierge. The apartment is modest in size and the bedroom is small — suitable for single occupancy or as a pied-à-terre rather than a family home.
Overall this property will suit a buyer seeking a low-maintenance, well-serviced central London apartment with river views and on-site amenities. It’s attractive to a first-time buyer or owner-occupier wanting immediate access to South Bank culture and transport links, or an investor prioritising location and facility-led rental appeal, provided they factor in the substantial service charges and local crime statistics.
