Flat for sale in London SE16, 3 Bedroom

This three-bedroom apartment is positioned directly on the banks of the river Thames, overlooking the skyline of Canary Wharf. The apartment was entirely reconfigured by Form architects, with bespoke cabinetry throughout by Form Creations, resulting in a versatile open-plan, capitalising on its riverside location.

Internal accommodation extends to just under 1,000 sq ft, arranged around a wonderful communal space comprising the kitchen and living room. This area of the apartment has large sections of floor-to-ceiling glazing running along the whole of the riverside aspect, drawing natural light and offering wonderful views of the river and Canary Wharf beyond. A private balcony with space for alfresco dining, extends the full width of the apartment and is accessible from the main living space and master bedroom.

The kitchen has individually made and lacquered cabinetry by Hacker, Siemens appliances and, a boiling water tap and Silestone work surfaces. A light oak parquet runs throughout the apartment, excluding the bathrooms, and has been stained a translucent grey hue, to bounce light into the apartment. Track lighting has been fitted in these spaces and the rooms have been wired so that floor lamps can be controlled by the wall switches.

A master bedroom sits just off this main living area, concealed behind a large pocket door, to allow the spaces to flow together, while allowing the bedroom to be partitioned off, if required. The master bedroom has its own private access to the balcony and also overlooks the river. There is also a walk-through dressing room which provides access to an en-suite bathroom. There are encaustic tiles underfoot and a full-height bespoke shower screen. There are two further bedrooms along the hallway, as well as a family bathroom with light grey Tadelakt walls. Underfloor heating in both bathrooms is digitally controlled. The tap fittings are by Lusso Stone, as is a stone resin bath.

The apartment is well positioned for green spaces, with Durand’s Wharf park and Surrey Docks farm positioned either side of Somerville Point. Slightly further inland the Russia Dock Woodland has a number of pleasant walking routes and ponds, home to kingfishers and herons. There are elevated views of the city and Canary Wharf from the top of Stave Hill. Hawker House, an expansive cluster of global street food stalls, based in nearby Canada Water has a vast array of traders and opens across the weekend.

Somerville Point is positioned on the River Thames in Rotherhithe. The closest tube station is Canada Water, approximately 15 minutes’ walk. There are ferry stops either side of the apartment, at Nelson’s Dock pier and Greenland Surrey Quays pier, both running services to Canary Wharf; the latter also runs services west to London Bridge and east to Greenwich.
