Set within the well-regarded Bermondsey Square development, this unusually large one-bedroom apartment offers 668 sqft of open-plan living in a highly central SE1 location. The 27ft reception with fitted kitchen provides flexible space for living, dining and a home workspace. The bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the bathroom is modern and well finished. Practical features include solid wood floors, double glazing, lift access, secure entry and bike storage.
This apartment benefits from a 24-hour concierge and exceptionally convenient transport links — London Bridge station is a short walk away — plus immediate access to Bermondsey’s cafes, galleries and parks. The property is chain free with a long lease (around 107 years) making it straightforward for buyers wanting to move quickly.
Notable running costs and local issues are material to a buying decision. The service charge is £5,400pa (above average) and ground rent £250pa; council tax is described as above average. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, which some buyers will weigh against the location and amenities. Energy efficiency is moderate (EPC C).
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or city professional seeking a roomy, well-connected home in Bermondsey with concierge and communal services. It will also appeal to investors after a centrally located one-bed, though the service charge and local crime statistics should be considered when modelling yields. Minor personalisation or modest updating could enhance value, but the property is presented in good contemporary order.
