Set over generous accommodation, this split-level three-bedroom apartment offers a rare combination of space, secure parking and an enviable Tower Hill location. Each bedroom is a double with its own ensuite, making the layout ideal for sharers, a family needing private bathrooms, or professionals seeking flexible workspace and guest facilities. A separate kitchen, generous living and dining area and a private balcony overlooking a well-maintained communal courtyard add comfortable, usable space rarely found so close to the City.
The development was built in the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating, lift access and allocated parking in a secure underground car park. The share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (971 years remaining) are practical long-term strengths. Excellent transport links and short walking or cycling access to the Tower of London, St Katharine’s and City workplaces make the flat exceptionally well placed for commuters.
Buyers should be aware the annual service charge is relatively high at £6,978, reflecting communal maintenance, security and underground parking costs. The area is a busy inner-city neighbourhood with average crime levels and a multicultural, student-heavy population; buyers expecting a quiet suburban feel should note the urban setting. Overall, the property suits buyers prioritising space, convenience and secure parking near the City, while accepting higher ongoing service costs for those communal benefits.
