Set across two thoughtfully arranged levels, this top-floor three-bedroom apartment offers almost 1,000 sq ft of flexible living arranged for family life and home working. The open-plan living space is bright and contemporary with wood-style floors, a modern fitted kitchen and two private balconies that extend the living area and capture city views. Triple glazing and underfloor heating fed by an air-source heat pump help keep running costs competitive.
Practical benefits include secure entry and communal facilities in a modern development built between 2007–2011, excellent mobile reception and fast broadband—useful for commuters and remote workers. Bermondsey and Rotherhithe stations are within easy reach, putting the City and Canary Wharf within straightforward commuting distance and offering plentiful local amenities, cafés and riverside leisure nearby.
Important considerations are factual and should inform a viewing decision: the property is leasehold (buyer to check lease length and service charges) and offered chain-free. The wider neighbourhood scores as deprived with a high recorded crime level; prospective buyers should review local safety data and visit at different times. Overall size is described as average for three bedrooms and the split-level layout may not suit buyers seeking single-floor living.
This apartment suits families or professional households seeking space, good transport links and contemporary finishes in SE16. It presents immediate liveability with scope to personalise, while the practical drawbacks—leasehold status and local area indicators—are clear and should be weighed alongside the strong transport and connectivity advantages.
