Top-floor two-bedroom penthouse with balcony, garage and long lease.
Top-floor penthouse with outstanding River Thames views
This top-floor penthouse on Ram Passage offers striking river views and a bright open-plan living space. Newly renovated in 2015, the apartment features wood flooring, a luxury bathroom and large sliding doors that open onto a balcony overlooking the Thames — ideal for relaxed riverside living or entertaining.
Practical benefits include a private garage, gated communal entrance with entryphone, long lease (circa 959 years) and a share of freehold. At about 707 sq ft, the layout is a traditional two-bedroom plan with an efficient living/dining/kitchen footprint and useful communal bike storage.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: this location is in a high flood-risk zone and the local area records very high crime levels. Annual service charge is around £2,400 and council tax sits above average — factor these into running costs. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a modern riverside home close to Kingston’s shops, theatres and transport links — or investors looking for a lettable, well-specified property. The combination of a long lease, share of freehold and included garage gives practical security, but the flood and safety considerations mean a careful review of insurance, flood mitigation and local crime prevention is recommended.
