Thornsett reviews

“The apartment is really nice – it is spacious, modern and there is a great balcony. We also have pretty nice views from the apartment. It is cheap to run utilities-wise which is a real bonus. The concierge service is generally very good (although you have to ring them to get hold of them). In terms of facilities, the courtyard within the residence is very attractive and pleasant but sadly there is not a gym.”  Verified resident, Charterhouse the Square.

Cosy and convenient.

It is designed really well and feels really spacious.
Living room is open plan and i have a balcony but it does overlooks the construction.
Small issues with the bathroom and the agency took 3 months to fix the bathroom to the point where I had to keep using my neighbours.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

10 min from claphan junction is really close and you can get to a lot of places in london conviniently.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The cladding which is flammable and how busy clapham junction is during the weekends.

What is the best feature of your home:

2 bathrooms for 2 bedrooms which is a gamechanger.

Perfect location for price

The building is really well looked after. Basic furniture when coming into the apartment which I expected better.
I like how modern it is for the price. It is an open plan apartment and it is nice to have people over. At one point there was flooding in the carpark but it was fixed quite quickly.
The facebook group is really useful and other tenants allow you to park in their places.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The view of the river is lovely but its quite far from shops and basic accommodations.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Nothing that I didn’t know as I researched well.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

quite well as the agency send someone in a few days after any issues.

Cladding removal on development

There’s currently scaffolding on this development due to cladding issues. The replacement of cladding will last more than a year.
The flat is nice, 1bed without balcony feels a bit small.
No mechanical ventilation in the bathroom so it tends to get very warm, smelly and wet (during shower) inside.
Kitchen is well equiped, but the fridge is smaller than the freezer. Washing machine is located in one of the cupboards in the kitchen so there’s less space for pots and pans.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

This building is close to the river which is very nice, but apart from that is very far away from stores, gyms etc.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Agency and landlord missed telling us about the scaffolding and cladding removal. Very unprofessional, so we will be moving out of the flat. Very disapointed.

What is the best feature of your home:

Building is close to the river, so it’s nice for a walk.

Beautiful location

There is a cladding issue which is really unsafe and . the quality is good.
There is a large garage and bike storage which is useful and concierge is 24 hours.
At times it can get a bit warm especially during the heatwave as there is very large windows
Some apartments don’t have a balcony
Terrace on the top floor which is open to everyone.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I like that its close to the river and the park as well as clapham junction.
I dislike that it has no sense of community.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The cladding issue after grenfeld tower which is really worrying

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

not ultra fast as the elevators and the bin area has issues but werent fixed for weeks.
