Set within the St Katherine’s Dock precinct, this compact one-bedroom apartment (approx. 388 sq ft) offers an accessible London base for a first-time buyer or pied-à-terre. It is chain free, on the ground floor of a modern development completed around 1996–2002, and benefits from 24-hour concierge and dockside lifestyle on your doorstep.
The accommodation is arranged in a traditional layout with a good-sized reception and a separate integrated kitchen, plus a generous double bedroom with built-in storage. Double glazing and electric heating provide basic comfort; the property has been kept to a good standard but is best suited to buyers who prioritise location and convenience over expansive living space.
Practical costs and tenure are important: the flat is leasehold, with an average service charge of around £3,600 and an annual ground rent of about £250. Council tax is described as expensive locally. There are no identified flood risks and transport links — Tower Hill tube and nearby DLR — make the rest of the capital readily accessible.
Location is the principal draw: seconds from the Thames (no direct river views), a short walk to Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, HMS Belfast and a wide choice of cafes, restaurants and cultural events at the Dock. Buyers should verify all services and appliances independently, and factor ongoing service charges and council tax into affordability calculations.
