Elgar Street, Rotherhithe, SE16

Nestled in a tranquil corner of Rotherhithe, close to the river and within a gated development, this share-of-freehold apartment boasts two bathrooms, a semi-open plan living area, two Juliet balconies, a walk-in wardrobe in the primary bedroom and secure parking. Stations, buses and river boat services are all within reach.

This well-presented second-floor home provides a pleasant atmosphere thanks to the neutral colours and large windows. The modern kitchen includes an integrated dishwasher, quartz worktops and a breakfast bar. The primary bedroom has the walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite shower room, while the second bedroom also benefits from a built-in wardrobe.

Additional features include gas central heating, full double glazing, secure entry phone system, lift access, smart communal area and high-speed fibre broadband is available through Hyperoptic.

Canada Water and Surrey Quays stations are accessible by foot, while there is also the option of using the river bus services from Greenland Pier or the ferry connection across to Canary Wharf from the pier at the Doubletree Hotel on Rotherhithe Street. There is plenty to do in the immediate area including a visit to Surrey Docks Farm, a Sunday roast at the Ship & Whale pub, a run around Greenland Dock or a pleasant stroll in Russia Dock Woodland.

The property stands to benefit from substantial investment in the area, including the £5.6 billion, 53-acre Canada Water Masterplan, with London’s first new high street in over a century. Additionally, a new electric ferry service, launching later this year, will provide six crossings per hour for pedestrians and cyclists between Rotherhithe and Canary Wharf.

Leasehold (with share of the freehold). The service charge is £2,453.36 per annum, there is no ground rent (peppercorn) and the underlying lease has 105 years remaining. Southwark Council Tax Band: D.
