Set on the top (fifth) floor of a converted Grade II listed warehouse, this two-bedroom apartment combines dramatic industrial character with modern fittings. Exposed timber beams, high vaulted ceilings and a central sash-style window create a bright, loft-like living space that feels larger than its footprint. Residents benefit from concierge, a gym, swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna, plus secure underground parking.
The layout works well for couples, professionals or buy-to-let investors seeking character close to Thames-side amenities and frequent transport links. There is scope to open the kitchen into the reception to create a more open-plan arrangement, subject to listed-building and planning consents. The apartment is well finished throughout with hardwood floors and contemporary kitchen surfaces.
Buyers should note material constraints: the block’s listed status restricts alterations and may complicate refurbishment. The lease details and lending: there are conflicting reports about years remaining and a flagged concern that some lenders could refuse a mortgage. Service charge and ground rent are relatively high, which affects running costs.
This property suits purchasers prioritising character, location and on-site facilities who are comfortable navigating leasehold and listed-building considerations. A survey and lender check are recommended early in the buying process to confirm financing and permitted works.
