Local stats: very high crime rate and noted area deprivation
Set on the Thames in Bazalgette Court, this two-bedroom flat combines Victorian character with contemporary living. The large open-plan living area opens onto a generous private terrace, ideal for riverside entertaining, while two double bedrooms include a principal en suite for added privacy. Off-street parking, gated entry and a share of freehold add practical value for owner-occupiers.
The building is a converted Victorian pumping station with retained period features such as arched brickwork and large windows; the conversion work was completed around 2007–2011. Residents benefit from concierge-style security, direct Thames Path access, and very good transport links to Hammersmith and central London. The property is offered chain-free for a quicker move.
Buyers should note the package includes some clear compromises: heating is electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, the service charge is above average at £4,600 per year, and council tax is described as expensive. Local data flags a very high crime rate and pockets of deprivation in the wider area, although nearby schools and riverside amenities are strong positives. Renovation or modernisation may be desirable to upgrade heating and reduce running costs.
This home will suit purchasers who prioritise riverside location, period character and outdoor space over a low-running-cost mechanical services package. It presents well for owner-occupiers wanting an impressive city base or investors seeking a distinctive property in a desirable Thames-side setting.
