Light-filled one-bedroom by St Katharine Docks — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Private balcony with marina view
Set on a peaceful corner of St Katharine Docks, this one-bedroom apartment offers a bright, well-proportioned living space with direct views across the marina. The reception opens onto a private balcony, bringing water-side outlooks and daylight into the heart of the home. Lift access and secure coded entry add convenience and calm to everyday life.
The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and has a robust, Brutalist character; secondary glazing and cavity walls (assumed uninsulated) reflect its era and present clear scope for energy improvements. Heating is provided via a community mains-gas scheme, and broadband speeds are reported slow — factors to consider for long-term running costs and connectivity.
Location is the apartment’s strongest asset: moments from the marina, a short stroll to Tower Bridge and riverside walks, and surrounded by cafés, Waitrose, restaurants and good transport links. The share-of-freehold tenure and chain-free sale make for a straightforward purchase path, suited to first-time buyers seeking a central home or investors targeting strong short-let/city-rental demand. Note that local crime statistics are high and several nearby schools vary in Ofsted ratings; these are relevant for buyers with children or security concerns.
