This two-bedroom apartment in River Quarter offers contemporary riverside living with strong rental and commuter appeal. The open-plan living space, private balcony and floor-to-ceiling glazing deliver light-filled rooms and city/river views; two bathrooms and secure covered parking for two vehicles add practical comfort for residents or tenants.
The building is modern (constructed post-2007) with communal amenities such as a maintained sky garden, CCTV, lifts and external corridor access. The lease is long (114 years remaining) and the apartment’s EPC (Current 72, Potential 84) indicates reasonable energy performance with scope for improvement. Finished to a contemporary standard, the property will suit professionals, small families or buy-to-let investors looking for a central riverside location.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area records very high crime and is classified as very deprived, which will affect resale and rental perceptions. Service charge is relatively high at about £2,700 per year and there is an annual ground rent of £100; heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal. The apartment’s external corridor access and communal garden mean the outdoor space is shared rather than a private rear garden.
Overall, this is a modern, well-specified apartment in a prominent riverside development that offers turnkey urban living and secure parking. It represents a straightforward option for investors or owner-occupiers who prioritise location, contemporary finishes and low flood risk, but buyers should factor in the service charges, local crime statistics and electric heating when assessing value.
