Set within a dockside development on Mill Street, this third-floor one-bedroom apartment offers city living with practical comforts. The layout is compact and well planned across about 570 sq ft, with a separate kitchen, a double bedroom and a light-filled reception room that opens to private outdoor space.
Two private balconies and access to a communal courtyard provide outdoor options unusual for a city flat of this size. Added conveniences include dedicated underground parking, a porter/concierge, secure entry, lift access and a share of the freehold — useful benefits for buyers seeking low-hassle central living.
Buyers should note the property uses electric storage heaters and mains electricity as the primary fuel, which can be more costly than gas systems. The annual service charge is around £4,000 and council tax is described as expensive; factor these running costs into your budget.
The building dates from the 1980s–1990s and benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown). The long lease (over 900 years) removes a common leasehold concern, while the apartment’s size and mid-terrace setting suit a single buyer or couple looking for a well-located, low-maintenance base with strong transport links to London Bridge and the City.
