Perched on the forty‑first floor of One Blackfriars, this exceptional three‑bedroom apartment offers 3,345 sq ft of dramatic, open‑plan living with wrap‑around sky gardens and panoramic London skyline views. The main reception (37' x 30') and second reception create an expansive entertaining layout complemented by floor‑to‑ceiling glazing, stone finishes, and high‑spec kitchen and utility spaces. Chain‑free and sold with vacant possession, it is ready for immediate occupation or rental.
Residents enjoy full concierge services, valet parking and an extensive leisure suite including a 20m pool, thermal suite, gym, private cinema and executive lounge — amenities that suit a high‑net‑worth owner or premium rental market. The apartment benefits from a very long lease (992 years) and excellent connectivity to central London transport hubs.
Buyers should note substantial ongoing costs: an extremely high annual service charge and an expensive ground rent, together with very high council tax. The property is leasehold and heating is via a community scheme, which may limit individual control and add to running costs. The building sits in a busy inner‑city location with very high recorded crime levels, which may concern some purchasers despite full security and concierge cover.
This apartment suits a purchaser seeking iconic riverside living, strong rental potential or a signature central‑London residence. It presents clear lifestyle strengths and view‑driven premium value, balanced by material maintenance and running‑cost considerations that must be factored into ownership budgets.
