Characterful one-bed with balcony, parking and concierge in central Shad Thames..
Piers Gough postmodern landmark building with strong architectural character
Set within Piers Gough’s distinctive Circle development in Shad Thames, this bright one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, characterful city base with private balcony and secure parking. The apartment’s layout and large windows deliver good natural light and an appealing inner-city outlook – well suited to a professional or first-time buyer wanting immediate access to central London.
Practical perks include 24-hour concierge, residents’ garage parking and a chain-free sale. The property sits in a Grade II listed building, part of the area’s architectural charm but a material constraint: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate consent and future works. The flat is leasehold; buyers should check lease length, service charges and parking arrangements before committing.
There are some trade-offs to note. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so thermal and running-cost performance will not match modern standards. Broadband speeds are average for the area. Overall this is a compact, well-located home with strong transport and local amenities, best for someone prioritising location and building character over a turnkey, low-running-cost finish.
