A spacious two-bedroom, two-bath apartment on the 5th floor of East Block, County Hall Apartments, offering about 1,064 sq ft of furnished living space. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen, substantial storage and secure underground parking. Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge and on-site leisure facilities including a gym and pool. Its central SE1 location is within easy walking distance of Waterloo and Westminster stations and many riverside amenities.
This property will suit buyers looking for convenient, well-appointed city living — professionals, couples, or investors wanting a rental-ready asset in a prime central location. Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a very long lease (978 years). The building’s construction dates from mid-20th century and the apartment has double glazing and contemporary finishes in the living spaces.
Be aware of notable ongoing costs and some fabric limitations: the service charge is high at £13,800 per year and ground rent is £200. Heating relies on electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the building’s walls are assumed to have no added insulation. The local area records very high crime levels; buyers should consider security and insurance costs despite the concierge service. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
This is a desirable city-centre home with leisure amenities and secure parking, but it carries significant running costs and some retrofit considerations. Viewings recommended for those prioritising location and lifestyle who understand the total cost of ownership.
