Set on Bridgewater Wharf beside the canal, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse offers bright, contemporary living across 927 sq ft. The open-plan living area flows onto a private terrace, creating a useful indoor–outdoor extension ideal for family dining or relaxed entertaining. Large windows and sliding glass doors bring in natural light and waterside views that give the apartment a modern, airy feel.
Practical positives include allocated off-street parking, lift access, secure entry and plentiful storage. The lease has 142 years remaining, a modest ground rent (£200 pa) and an average service charge of about £1,700 pa — important for budgeting. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property runs on electricity, which can be more expensive than mains gas and should be considered when estimating running costs.
The location suits families and professionals: very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach and frequent local transport links. The immediate neighbourhood is in a very deprived wider area and described as hampered, so while the block sits attractively on the waterfront, some surrounding streets and amenities reflect local economic challenges.
Overall, this apartment is a practical, contemporary home with strong lifestyle appeal from its waterside terrace and modern layout. Buyers should weigh the comfortable, low-maintenance living and lease length against the ongoing service charge, ground rent and electric heating costs.
