A bright second-floor two-bedroom flat with a private balcony and direct river views, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable riverside home. The reception room is generous for the footprint, with large windows bringing in natural light and creating a pleasant living space for everyday life and occasional entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with integrated oven and a concealed cooker hood; flooring is a mix of laminate and carpet throughout. The property includes allocated parking and a communal entrance in a purpose-built block, making it straightforward to manage and secure. The lease is long (975 years remaining), which removes a common worry for buyers of leasehold homes.
Be aware of notable local factors: the area records higher-than-average crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term resale and local amenity perception. The property also carries an average service charge of £2,112 per year and sits in a small overall-sized building, so factor ongoing costs and communal upkeep into your budget.
This flat suits a buyer wanting affordable access to a riverside location with good digital connectivity (excellent mobile, fast broadband). It’s a practical starter home or buy-to-let prospect for someone comfortable living in an urban riverside neighbourhood and accepting the trade-offs of local socio-economic factors.
