Set on a corner of the popular Barge Arm development, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers bright, open-plan dockside living with immediate viewing appeal.

The property is offered chain free and has a practical allocated gated parking space.
This leasehold flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in city base or an investor targeting strong rental demand—potential income is estimated at £1,200 pcm. The building has secure fob access and communal maintenance arranged through the managing agents; the EPC is C79 and mains gas central heating is fitted.
Notable practical points are straightforward: the overall internal size is compact at about 485 sq ft, the annual service charge is approximately £2,550.96 (around 40% of which covers the Docks Service Charge for security and estate-wide maintenance), and there is a medium flood risk for the area. The lease has 167 years remaining, which is healthy for a long-term purchase, but prospective buyers should factor in service charges and the flood risk when calculating costs.
In short, this is a tidy, well-located dockside apartment offering immediate occupancy or a plug-and-play rental opportunity. It offers good transport links, local amenities and a waterfront outlook, with clear scope for future uplift through modest cosmetic updating.
