This well-presented two-bedroom apartment in Anchor Court occupies a waterside position with genuine River Thames views. The light, open-plan lounge/kitchen opens to a Juliette balcony, while a larger balcony—accessible from both lounge and master bedroom—extends the living space outdoors. Built in 2003–2006, the home feels contemporary and includes integrated appliances and a wine cooler. A master en-suite and a modern main bathroom (Bluetooth LED mirror) add comfort and convenience.
The property is offered with the option of a sitting tenant currently paying £1,550pcm, making it an immediate income opportunity for investors. There is one allocated parking space with a carport, gated fob access, lift, and secure entry. The long lease (104 years remaining) and fast broadband make the flat practical for longer-term ownership or letting.
Buyers should note some practical downsides: heating is by electric storage heaters (likely higher running costs than gas), the neighbourhood reports very high crime and is classified as deprived, and the service charge is approximately £1,704 per year (£142 pcm). Council tax is moderate. Overall, this apartment suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance, modern riverside property with strong rental potential, provided they are comfortable with the area statistics and running costs.
