A generous two-bedroom, two-bath apartment occupying about 960 sq ft in a converted warehouse-style development in Bermondsey. The large open-plan reception with exposed brick and a wide industrial-style window creates a bright social heart, while a separate modern kitchen keeps cooking space distinct from living and dining. Bedroom one includes a dressing room and en-suite; both bedrooms have skylights that increase natural light. Practical storage is provided in the entrance hall and communal areas.
The apartment is well suited to a professional couple or small family seeking space and character close to central London. Transport links are strong with Bermondsey Underground and South Bermondsey nearby, plus multiple bus routes. Local amenities include bakeries, cafes, Bermondsey Street, supermarkets and Burgess Park for outdoor recreation. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note a few important facts: tenure is leasehold with 116 years remaining; annual service charge approximately £3,784 (around 20% to sinking fund); annual ground rent £350; Council Tax Band E (above average). Heating is by electric room heaters and the main fuel is electricity. There is no private outdoor space and the development reports a higher local crime rate, factors to weigh against the apartment’s generous interior and central location.
Overall this apartment offers bright, flexible living space and period character in a convenient SE1 location. It will appeal to buyers prioritising internal size and a contemporary warehouse aesthetic, and to investors or owner-occupiers prepared to accept electric heating, service charges and the absence of private outdoor space.
