Light-filled canal-side living with practical space: this third-floor two-bedroom flat in Empire Wharf sits directly opposite the tranquil canal and benefits from a private balcony with water and park views. At about 732 sqft the living and bedroom proportions are generous for a London apartment; high ceilings and large windows create an airy, flexible open-plan reception ideal for entertaining or working from home.
The building is a secure gated development with off-street parking and well-kept communal grounds. The modern bathroom, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and double-glazed windows (installation date unknown) present a move-in ready feel. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support professional and everyday needs, while Roman Road shops, cafes and transport links are all within walking distance.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 94 years remaining and attracts above-average council tax. The wider area scores as deprived and local crime levels are average — factors to consider for future resale and outgoings. The block was built in the early 1990s, so some communal elements or services may require ongoing maintenance.
This flat will suit first-time buyers or professionals seeking a well-sized two-bedroom with rare canal frontage close to green space and good schools. It offers immediate comfort with clear potential to personalise, but buyers should check service charges, ground rent and lease details before proceeding.
