A compact studio cleverly arranged with a distinct sleeping alcove, balcony and clear views over St Katharine’s Docks. At about 372 sq ft it suits a single occupant or couple seeking a low-maintenance city base with direct waterfront character. The property is chain free and comes with the rare practical benefit of a larger-than-average garage plus an allocated parking space — a strong convenience in this central location.
The apartment sits in a substantial 1970s building with lift access and secure gated entry. It benefits from double glazing and communal heating via a community scheme. The share-of-freehold tenure and an exceptionally long remaining lease (982 years) reduce long-term ownership risk.
Be realistic about the compromises: the internal size is small, broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the building has a high local crime statistic — factors to weigh when considering a city-centre purchase. Service charges are substantial at £3,280 per year and ground rent is minimal but present.
This home works well as an affordable entry into a prime waterside neighbourhood, a buy-to-let for investors targeting short-term lets or professionals, or a pied-à-terre for frequent city visitors. Viewings will best suit those prioritising location, parking and marina atmosphere over generous internal space.
