This modern two-bedroom apartment in St George Wharf offers a bright, well-presented home ideal for first-time buyers seeking city living with riverside character. The open-plan living area and dual-aspect floor-to-ceiling glazing create strong natural light and distant city views, while a private balcony provides outdoor space to relax.
The layout includes two double bedrooms, a contemporary fitted kitchen, and two bathrooms within approximately 775 sq ft. The property sits in a purpose-built development (constructed 2007–2011) with a 24-hour concierge service and secure communal environment, adding convenience and reassurance for urban residents.
Practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with a very long lease (973 years), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but running costs are notable — an above-average service charge of around £6,000pa, ground rent of £400pa, and relatively high council tax. Heating is warm-air electric, which may be less efficient than gas systems.
Location strengths include strong transport links, nearby shops and leisure amenities, and a mix of well-rated schools nearby. The area is a busy inner-city setting with a higher-than-average crime rate, so prospective buyers should factor in security and local environment when viewing. Overall, this is a modern, well-located apartment that suits buyers wanting low-maintenance riverside living with good resale potential.
