It is triple aspect, has its own entrance, a balcony, access to loft space, a smart kitchen, a modern bathroom and an allocated parking space. Chain free.

Swedish Quays is a complex of 95 flats and houses. Built in the late 1980s by Roger Malcom Homes and designed by David Price and Gordon Cullen, the latter being Britain's most influential planning theorist and architectural illustrator of the post-war period. The development was given Grade II listed status in 2018 due to its multi-layered detailing, use of good quality materials and its contextually astute design. There are two communal gardens in the centre of the courtyards.

Set in tranquil surroundings, you will also find the Thames Path and Greenland Pier at the top of the road, offering an alternative way of commuting both to the city and Canary Wharf via the river bus service. A scenic walk takes you to Canada Water Station (Jubilee Line & London Overground, Zone 2) and Surrey Quays Station (London Overground, Zone 2).

There are many amenities in the local area, including The Plough Way Deli, the renowned Pear Tree Kitchen, Tesco Express, as well as the gym at Surrey Docks Fitness and Watersports Centre.

The property will benefit from significant investment in the area, including the underway 53-acre / £5.6Bn project, the Canada Water Masterplan with London's first new high street in over 100 years. There is also the soon to begin electric ferry service, with six crossings an hour (for pedestrians and cyclists) between Surrey Quays and Canary Wharf.

Leasehold with a share of the freehold. The service charge is circa £1,032 for the year to September 2025 (includes building insurance and external upkeep), there is no ground rent to pay and the lease has 962 years remaining. Southwark Council Tax Band: D.
