Third-floor two-bedroom apartment with en suite to master
Open-plan kitchen/lounge with balcony access and natural light
Compact overall size — approx. 591 sq ft (smaller footprint)
Long lease: 999 years (started 01/01/1989)
Service charge approx. £1,558.62 per year
Electric storage heaters — likely higher running costs than gas
High recorded local crime and area deprivation — view at different times
Excellent local amenities: shops, cinema, riverside walks nearby
This third-floor two-bedroom apartment in the Riversway dockland development offers compact, low-maintenance living with practical layout and good local amenities. The open-plan kitchen/lounge opens onto a sun balcony, and the master bedroom benefits from an en suite — features that suit first-time buyers seeking ready-to-live-in accommodation or buy-to-let investors looking for straightforward lettings potential.
The flat totals about 591 sq ft and is modern in style, built in the late 1980s with double glazing (installed before 2002). Heating is by electric storage heaters, which keeps installation simple but can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The long lease (999 years) is a clear ownership positive; the current service charge averages £1,558.62 per year and should be factored into affordability calculations.
Location is a strength: Riversway and Mariners Way retail parks, a multi-screen cinema, shops, cafes and riverside walks are all within easy reach. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. Note the local area faces higher deprivation and recorded crime is very high — prospective buyers should review local stats and view at different times of day to assess suitability.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located option for buyers wanting a compact two-bedroom apartment with outdoor space and long lease security. The main trade-offs are the small overall size, electric storage heating with potential higher bills, and service charge costs; these are balanced by strong local amenities and straightforward accommodation layout.
