Spacious two-bedroom waterfront flat with balcony and secure parking.
Direct water-facing apartment with harbour and marina views
Occupying a direct water-facing position on Marrowbone Slip, this light-filled two-bedroom apartment delivers genuine harbourside living. The 27'3" x 17'5" open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner is framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing and opens onto a private balcony with uninterrupted harbour and marina views — a strong lifestyle asset for mornings and evenings alike. The modern kitchen includes a central island and plentiful storage, and the principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite.
Practical aspects are well covered: two double bedrooms, a separate family bathroom with a full-size bath, built-in storage, double glazing and a mains gas boiler and radiators. The property sits in a gated development with allocated secure parking and an exceptionally long lease of around 976 years, reducing long-term lease concerns.
Buyers should note some running costs and local context. Service charges average about £4,000 per year and ground rent is £200; council tax is above average. The immediate area is classified as very deprived with a higher local crime rate — factors to weigh for resale or rental expectations. Flood risk is very low and the building was constructed in the early 2000s.
This apartment suits anyone wanting a turnkey waterside home or a high-appeal rental in a prime Barbican/harbour location. Its striking views and outdoor balcony are the primary draw, balanced by ongoing service costs and the local neighbourhood profile.
