Kennet Street, Wapping, E1W

Set within a peaceful private estate on Kennet Street, this semi-detached freehold house spans over 1,800 square feet and offers a rare opportunity to secure a home that backs directly onto the Wapping Canal. From the kitchen and garden patio to the living room and bedrooms, the property enjoys uninterrupted canal views, creating a sense of calm and tranquillity rarely found so close to the City.

Arranged across four floors, the house is in good order and ready to move into, while also offering scope for modernisation to create a long-term family home. The layout provides four full bedrooms together with an additional room that works perfectly as a nursery or walk-in dressing room. A separate study is positioned on the lower ground floor, ideal for those working from home, while the fitted kitchen is complemented by a useful utility room. Further benefits include an internal garage, providing both security and convenience.

The property forms part of a well-maintained private estate, where residents contribute around £330 per year towards the upkeep of communal areas, ensuring the surroundings remain peaceful and well cared for.

Kennet Street enjoys an enviable Wapping location, with its cobbled streets, converted warehouses, and waterside pubs all reflecting the area’s rich maritime heritage. The Thames Path is moments away, leading to St Katharine Docks and Tower Bridge, while nearby green spaces such as King Edward Memorial Park offer riverside gardens, play areas, and sports facilities. Local shops, cafés, and a Waitrose are all within easy reach, giving the area a village-like feel.

Transport connections are excellent, with Wapping Overground a short walk away, and Tower Hill, Tower Gateway, and Fenchurch Street stations nearby, providing swift links into the City, Canary Wharf, and beyond.

With its generous space, versatile layout, private garage, and idyllic canal-side setting, this Kennet Street home is a rare find in one of London’s most distinctive riverside neighbourhoods.
