Set on the fourth floor of a riverside development, this one-bedroom flat offers unusually generous space for central London living. At approximately 768 sq ft the open-plan reception and kitchen create a bright, flexible living area opening onto a balcony with river views — a rare find for a one-bedroom unit in SW8.
The property suits a first-time buyer seeking a move-in-ready city home with scope to personalise. The double bedroom is well-proportioned and the flat benefits from community heating and fast broadband. EPC rated C and flooding risk is very low, providing reasonable running costs and low water-risk reassurance.
Buyers should note this is leasehold and will be sold at online auction (23 October 2025). Council tax is above average and the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, with cavity walls assumed to have partial insulation — some updating or refurbishment may be needed to suit modern tastes. Viewings are by appointment and the sale procedure requires prospective bidders to register for the auction.
Located on Nine Elms Lane, the flat sits in an inner-city, cosmopolitan area with riverside amenities, transport links, shops and eateries close by. The apartment’s size, balcony and riverside aspect make it a strong candidate for a first home or buy-to-let purchase, provided buyers are comfortable with auction timelines and leasehold ownership.
