Upper-floor two-bed apartment with private balcony and striking river views.
River Thames and Houses of Parliament views from private balcony
Set on Albert Embankment, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment delivers genuine central-London living with a private balcony and exceptional River Thames and Houses of Parliament views. Floor-to-ceiling glazing fills the open-plan reception and kitchen with light, and the principal bedroom also benefits from balcony access. The layout is efficient and suits first-time buyers or buyers seeking a well-located buy-to-let.
Residents have the convenience of a 24-hour concierge and excellent transport links, with Vauxhall and Pimlico stations within walking distance. The long lease (974 years) and private balcony are strong ownership perks; flood risk is very low and mobile/broadband connectivity is excellent.
Buyers should note the service charge is above average (approx. £538.56 pcm / £6,462.72 pa) and council tax is in an expensive band (Band F), which increases ongoing costs. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, so energy costs may be higher than in gas-heated properties. The building is modern and well-finished, but the surrounding area is inner-city and classified as deprived with a significant student population—expect urban activity and occasional noise.
Overall this is a compact, well-appointed riverside apartment offering strong location and view-led appeal. It suits first-time buyers wanting central London lifestyle or investors seeking a desirable rental proposition, provided the running costs and service charge are acceptable.
