Situated on the front of One Blackfriars, this 1,750 sq ft three-bedroom apartment delivers uninterrupted, high-floor views across central London, including St Paul’s and the West End. The open-plan reception benefits from floor-to-ceiling glazing, a winter garden, marble flooring and iPad-controlled automation — a turnkey, contemporary city home with generous living space and excellent natural light.
Residents enjoy extensive building facilities: gym, swimming pool, thermal suite, golf simulator, screening room, 32nd-floor executive lounge, wine cellar and valet parking. The flat’s size and layout make it suitable both for family occupation and as a premium central-London investment with strong lettability given proximity to Jubilee and national rail connections.
Important costs and practicalities are straightforward: the property is leasehold (very long lease circa 991 years) and on a community heating scheme. Service charge and ongoing costs are high — service charge approx. £25,000pa, ground rent c. £1,000 and council tax described as very expensive — which will materially affect running costs. The local crime level is reported as very high; buyers should factor security and insurance considerations into their decision.
This apartment is best for buyers seeking a high-spec, low-maintenance central London residence with premium views and amenities, or investors targeting top-end rental demand. Significant communal running costs and inner-city crime statistics are the principal drawbacks and should be weighed against the apartment’s size, specification and location.
