Refurbished two-bed with private courtyard, pool and parking near Waterloo.
Private paved courtyard and direct access to communal gardens
Bright, newly refurbished two-bedroom apartment in Whitehouse Apartments offers a rare private paved courtyard and 613 sq ft of internal space. The ground-floor layout opens from a generous reception into the courtyard, with high 2.9m ceilings and a separate dine-in kitchen fitted with integrated appliances. Both bedrooms include built-in wardrobes; the property benefits from secondary glazing and garage parking.
Residents have extensive on-site amenities: 24-hour concierge, swimming pool, gym, steam room, sauna and a roof terrace, plus access to well-maintained communal gardens. Heating and water are included in the service charge, simplifying outgoings. The location is central to the South Bank cultural quarter, a short walk to Waterloo and multiple transport links, theatres and riverside attractions.
For investors the flat’s position in a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood supports strong rental demand and short walkability to major transport hubs. The lease is exceptionally long (971 years) which removes typical lease-length risk. Parking and private outdoor space are uncommon for central London flats and add letting appeal.
Notable costs and risks are clear: an above-average service charge (£7,638 pa, including a sinking fund contribution) and a small ground rent (£200 pa). The local crime level is recorded as very high and council tax is noted as expensive — both relevant for purchaser budgeting and tenant screening. Overall size is compact; buyers should note internal space (613 sq ft) and factor ongoing communal service costs into yield calculations.
