Set on opposite banks of the River Thames, separated by Tower Bridge, is a pair of two-bedroom apartments available for below £2 million and offering alternatively impressive water views.
Located on the north side of the river is a prominent 1,247 sq. ft. home within Star Place providing captivating aspects over St. Katharine’s Docks and a short walking distance to the City of London. On the other side of the water, situated within a converted Victorian warehouse, is a prime apartment measuring 1,396 sq. ft. and benefitting from direct views onto Tower Bridge and across the London skyline stretching from the City to Canary Wharf.
On the market for £1.75 million, the stunning riverside apartment set within Spice Quay, a former warehouse dating back to the 19th Century that stored various grains and spices brought into London from Asia, is a real gem that features spacious interiors, private outside space and access to high-quality amenities.
The largest two-bedroom apartment type in Spice Quay, the waterfront home is filled with natural light throughout through floor-to-ceiling windows that present some of the best views of London. Residents of Spice Quay also benefit from a 24-hour concierge, as well as the use of the Cayenne Court gym and pool, bike storage and a very large secure parking space.
A short walk across Tower Bridge and occupying the fifth floor of Merganser Court, Star Place, is a recently refurbished two-bedroom apartment that benefits from one of the best aspects in one of London’s most sought-after addresses. Available for £1.6 million, the prime property enjoys a southerly view onto St Katherine Docks and with a close up of the City of London skyline.
Internally, the property features an impressive open-plan reception and dining room that opens onto a large balcony overlooking the docks replete with moored yachts and pleasure boats. The master bedroom suite opens onto a second balcony, whilst the second bedroom is an excellent size and includes a separate study or private dressing room. There is also ample storage space throughout the apartment.
Perfectly located, Star Place is a stone’s throw from a number of popular cafes, restaurants and gyms, whilst the Tower of London is a stones’ throw away. The two prime apartments with contrastingly appealing views are on the market with prime London agents Anderson Rose.
Jon Byers, founder of Anderson Rose, said: “One of the biggest selling points of prime apartments in this part of London are the views on offer and these two-bedroom homes at Star Place and Spice Quay offer the best of both worlds. We are blessed with an abundance of waterside hotspots here and there is a unique opportunity to own a home overlooking the genteel waters of St. Katharine’s Docks or live directly on the waterfront with views onto the bustling Tower Bridge and the contemporary skyscrapers of the City.
“This is a remarkable place to live with a sense of excitement and wonder yet a peace and calm that comes from being just set off the main stretches of city. This is where the fabric of London’s grand maritime history combines with the modern decadence we see today, which means that homes of this quality don’t tend to be available for very long.”
