A bright one-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor with direct River Thames views and a large balcony — ideal for a first home or city pied-à-terre. Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the open-plan reception with light and connects indoor living to generous outdoor space. The double bedroom also opens onto the balcony and has built-in wardrobes.
The building offers practical city conveniences: 24-hour concierge, on-site gym, landscaped courtyard and easy access to Vauxhall station (around 0.3 miles) with tube, rail, bus and river-boat links. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the flat well suited to remote working.
Long lease (974 years) gives ownership security; note the service charge and running costs are material — around £3,910 per year plus a ground rent of £350 and above-average council tax. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal system, which can affect bills.
The setting is inner-city and multicultural with plentiful local amenities, restaurants and shops. Crime levels are reported as high for the area, and the neighbourhood has a strong student presence — factors to consider depending on lifestyle priorities. Overall this is a convenient riverside flat offering view-led living and good transport links, balanced by ongoing service costs and urban surroundings.
