• Uninterrupted Thames views from all principal rooms
• Large duplex layout with 1,200 sq ft and winter garden
• Concierge service and private off-street parking included

• Lease circa 49 years remaining—mortgage lenders may refuse
• EWS1 A1 certificate; EPC rating C
• Very high local crime level; council tax is expensive
• 0.3 miles to Blackfriars and Southwark stations
This large duplex apartment on the South Bank offers uninterrupted Thames views and significant refurbishment potential. At 1,200 sq ft with a winter garden and river-facing principal rooms, the layout and outlook provide a rare canvas for a designer conversion or a high-value short-term let after works.
The home requires full internal renovation throughout; materials, systems and finishes will all need replacing. It is sold with approximately 49 years remaining on the lease (as of 30/07/2025). That short lease length is a material issue — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, so buyers should be prepared for cash purchase or specialist lending and to factor lease extension costs into any offer.
Practical positives include a concierge, off-street parking, an EWS1 A1 certificate, an EPC rating of C, and excellent transport links — Blackfriars and Southwark stations are 0.3 miles away. The property’s central riverside location places cultural destinations and amenities within easy walking distance, supporting rental demand or a high-end refurbishment resale.
This is a proposition for a buyer who can manage a substantial renovation and the short lease situation. If you can take on the necessary works and lease negotiations, the combination of size, view and location could deliver strong upside.
