Light-filled two-bedroom apartment on Wapping High Street, arranged around an open-plan living and fitted kitchen that opens onto a balcony with direct river views. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and there is a second bathroom, making the layout practical for sharers or a small family. Underground parking is included and the property is being sold chain free with a long 995-year share of freehold.
The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has contemporary finishes throughout, double glazing and electric underfloor heating. At 694 sq ft the accommodation is an average-sized city flat with good natural light and a usable outdoor space for riverside sitting and entertaining. Transport links are excellent: Wapping Overground is about a 90-yard walk, with good DLR and river services nearby.
Notable costs and considerations are factual: an annual service charge of around £4,400 and ground rent £300, plus Council Tax band F (relatively expensive). The development’s construction era and some older glazing mean cosmetic updating may be wanted by buyers seeking the newest finishes. Crime in the immediate area is reported above average, and heating runs on electricity rather than gas, which can affect running costs.
This flat will suit commuters or small families seeking riverside living close to central London amenities and strong local schools. It also presents straightforward rental potential for investors given the location and parking, but buyers should budget for service charges, council tax and energy running costs when assessing value.
