Set on the fifth floor of a modern riverside development, this two-bedroom flat offers bright, practical living with private river views. A generous reception room opens onto a river-facing balcony, and the adjoining kitchen provides plentiful storage — an easy layout for everyday life or entertaining. The apartment is finished with sleek wood floors, neutral décor and double glazing, so it’s move-in ready for most buyers.
Building amenities include a secure entrance, lift access and concierge, plus well-maintained communal grounds typical of newer developments. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the flat well suited to home working and streaming. At 819 sq ft the accommodation feels comfortable for a first home or a professional couple wanting riverside living near Wandsworth Town’s shops and transport links.
Practical costs and features to note: the property is leasehold (long lease remaining), with an average annual service charge of about £3,800 and a small ground rent of £150. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated flats. There is one bathroom and no private garden beyond the balcony, so space for growing families is limited.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or couple who value location, low flood risk and contemporary finishes, and who are comfortable with the service charge and electric heating. The riverside position and concierge add everyday convenience and long-term appeal in an affluent, well-connected pocket of SW18.
