A bright, south-facing one-bedroom apartment within the modern 21 Wapping Lane development, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan reception and fitted kitchen lead onto a private glass-fronted balcony with views towards Canary Wharf, adding useful outdoor space for city living. The property is chain-free and sits on a long 110-year lease.
Residents have lift access, secure cycle storage and optional gym/spa facilities (membership fees apply). The building includes garage parking and benefits from good transport links: Wapping Station (approx. 0.3 miles) and Shadwell DLR (approx. 0.4 miles). The apartment’s contemporary finish and efficient layout make it straightforward to live in or rent out with minimal immediate works required.
Notable costs and considerations: the service charge is relatively high at £4,147 per year and the property is leasehold. The neighbourhood records above-average crime and is classified as relatively deprived in parts, which may affect long-term capital growth and rental assumptions. There is no private garden and the corner/road exposure may limit quietness compared with inner courtyard units.
Overall this compact 513 sq ft flat offers a well-proportioned one-bedroom living space in a desirable waterside pocket of central London. It suits buyers seeking move-in-ready city living or investors targeting strong rental demand close to Canary Wharf and central transport nodes, provided they factor in service charges and local area issues.
