Well-presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in West Wapping, moments from St Katharine’s Docks. The reception room opens onto a long balcony that runs to the principal bedroom, bringing light into the living space. The development includes secure underground parking, porter, lift access and bike storage — useful conveniences for city living. The property is offered chain-free and has an exceptionally long lease (970 years).
The layout suits first-time buyers or small families who want ready-to-move-in accommodation with good local transport links to the City, Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf. The apartment’s footprint (circa 687 sq ft) is an average urban size with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it practical for shared occupancy or flexible work-from-home arrangements.
Buyers should note the holding costs: an above-average service charge (£5,400pa), an annual ground rent (£611) and an expensive council tax band. The wider area is very affluent and well served by amenities, but local crime levels are reported as very high — a factor to consider for personal security and insurance.
Mechanicals appear conventional for a 1996–2002 build: double glazing (install date unknown), cavity walls and electric main fuel with boiler and radiators. The flat is in a modern mid-terrace block and looks well maintained, but any buyer should confirm heating/electrical details, service charge breakdown and insurance arrangements before committing.
