Summary - Ensign House, Tavern Quay, Rope Street, London, SE16 SE16 7EX
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Bright two-bedroom home with parking, concierge and superb broadband speeds.
814 sqft modern two-bedroom apartment with balcony and communal roof terrace
Located on the first floor of a modern 2016 development beside Greenland Dock, this two-bedroom apartment offers a spacious 814 sqft layout with generous natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. The open-plan living/kitchen opens onto a covered balcony, and a communal rooftop terrace provides wider views — useful for entertaining or quiet evenings. The building includes an allocated parking space, onsite concierge, lift access and a communal cycle store for everyday convenience.
Practical comforts include an ensuite to the principal bedroom, a full-size dishwasher, a ventilation system and hyperfast Hyperoptic broadband. The long lease (238 years) and EPC B rating are positives for long-term ownership. The location is walkable to Surrey Quays and Canada Water stations, local shops, cafés and waterside green space, with improving transport links and the Canada Water regeneration expected to enhance local amenities over time.
Buyers should note the apartment is leasehold. Annual service charge and ground rent are material ownership costs: the service charge is £6,397.32 (year to April 2026) and ground rent £672.88 per year, with the next index-linked review in 2034. Council Tax sits at Band E. Crime levels are above average and the wider area records some deprivation, which may concern buyers prioritising low-crime neighbourhoods.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or professional couple seeking roomy, modern riverside living with parking and strong digital connectivity, provided they are comfortable with the ongoing service and ground rent costs and local area factors.
