Set on the second floor of a gated development on Maltby Street, this two-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-laid home in the heart of Bermondsey. A large reception room and separate modern kitchen deliver comfortable living space for a first-time buyer or professional couple, while quick access to London Bridge and local amenities makes daily life easy.
The apartment feels bright and contemporary with large windows, laminate flooring and an updated kitchen. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are excellent, supporting remote working and streaming. The flat’s 554 sq ft footprint is efficient and ready to occupy, with a sleek bathroom and two double bedrooms offering practical flexibility.
There are important practical considerations: the property is leasehold, constructed in the 1950s–60s with cavity walls likely lacking insulation, and overall size is small compared with newer developments. The area shows higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators, which should factor into decisions about long-term suitability or rental expectations.
For buyers prioritising location and convenience—especially those seeking a pied-à-terre or rental asset close to Bermondsey Street Market and London Bridge—this flat delivers immediate usability and good connectivity. The property also presents refurbishment potential (improving insulation and finishes) to increase comfort and future value.
