South-facing balcony with good natural light
This bright one-bedroom apartment in Compass House offers contemporary city living with a south-facing balcony and modern finishes throughout. At about 505 sq ft it provides a comfortable layout with an open-plan living area, a double bedroom and good natural light — suited to a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a London pied-à-terre.
Practical points: the flat is chain free and on a Leasehold with approximately 85 years remaining. Heating is provided via a communal scheme with measured usage. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and several well-regarded primary schools are within reach.
Cost and maintenance considerations are important. The annual service charge is £4,054 (above average) and gym/spa use in the building is available at an additional monthly cost. The property sits in a deprived inner-city ward with above-average crime statistics; buyers should factor in local amenity and safety considerations.
Overall this is a modern, well-located one-bedroom that delivers easy access to transport, shops and riverside amenities. It suits someone prioritising location, contemporary finish and a ready-to-move-in flat, but budget-conscious buyers should allow for service charges and ongoing communal costs.
