A compact, well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the first floor in Shad Thames, ideal for a single professional or first-time buyer seeking central riverside living. The open-plan reception and kitchen maximise the 392 sq ft layout, and a private balcony adds outdoor space for morning coffee or evening downtime. Elegant wood-effect flooring and large windows keep the apartment bright and easy to maintain.
Practical details matter: the property is leasehold with a very long lease (968 years), an average service charge of £1,805 p.a. and a small ground rent of £150 p.a. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the glazing is double glazed (install date unknown), so running costs may be higher than gas-heated flats and improvement opportunities exist for modernising heating or insulation.
Location is the apartment’s biggest draw. Set in a historic riverside neighbourhood beneath Tower Bridge, you have excellent public transport (London Bridge, Tower Hill), river taxi access and a rich dining and market scene on your doorstep. Flood risk is very low and local area indicators show a very affluent, inner-city pocket with low crime.
This is a straightforward, low-maintenance urban apartment with clear potential to personalise. It suits someone prioritising location and lifestyle over expansive internal space, and buyers should factor ongoing service charges and electric heating costs into affordability calculations.
