Stylish three-bed with private garden near Tower Bridge and riverside amenities.
Long lease share of freehold with 981 years remaining
Low ground rent (£10) and community heating in place
Private garden accessed from open-plan living area
Large windows provide excellent natural light throughout
Overall size small for a three-bedroom (785 sq ft)
Very slow broadband speeds — affects remote working/streaming
Local crime level very high — security consideration
Cavity walls likely uninsulated; retrofit may be needed
This three-bedroom flat on St Katharines Way combines period exterior character with a modern, neutral interior and a private garden — a rare find for riverside Wapping. The layout is generous for its 785 sq ft, with large windows and an open-plan living area that brings strong natural light into the contemporary kitchen and living space.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (share of freehold), low ground rent, double glazing and community heating. The property suits families or sharers who value location: Tower Bridge, local piers and riverside amenities are within walking distance, plus plentiful cafes, shops and supermarkets nearby.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the overall size is described as small for a three-bedroom, broadband speeds are very slow, and the local crime level is very high. Walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction, so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency and retrofit costs.
In short, this flat offers strong location and style with sensible tenure terms, but sensible buyers should allow for connectivity and possible insulation improvements when assessing value.
