Bright, modern two-bedroom apartment in a well-kept gated development near Canada Water, offered with a private underground parking space and 24-hour concierge. The open-plan reception with integrated kitchen leads to a large balcony accessed from both bedrooms, bringing good light and extra outdoor space for city living. Finished in neutral contemporary décor, the property is move-in ready with double glazing and an EPC rating of B.
Practical benefits include ample built-in storage, secure intercom entry, and a long lease of 978 years. The building dates from the early 2000s and appears well maintained; the setting is an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local amenities, transport links and several well-regarded schools are all within easy reach.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold (service charge £2,647 p.a.; ground rent £3 p.a.) and uses electric underfloor heating, which can be more costly than communal gas systems. Accommodation is described as average-sized for a city flat—suitable for a couple, small family or buy-to-let investor but not a large household. Crime is recorded as average for the area.
Overall, this apartment offers a low-maintenance, contemporary base in a very affluent inner-London setting with secure parking and concierge services. It will appeal to first-time buyers and investors seeking reliable rental potential, provided you factor running costs and service charges into your budget.
