High-spec Zone 1 one-bedroom with concierge, pool and fast links to Waterloo..
[
This well-appointed one-bedroom apartment in Southbank Place offers high-spec city living with substantial communal amenities. The open-plan layout, engineered fumed‑oak flooring and a balcony with city views make it a comfortable home for a single professional or a solid central-London rental proposition. The development includes concierge, indoor swimming pool, spa, multi-functional gym, bicycle storage and fast broadband — excellent for commuting and lifestyle.
Practicalities are straightforward: a long lease (c.991 years), energy rating B and Zone 1 access with Waterloo within easy walking distance. The service package covers buildings insurance and communal maintenance, and the apartment benefits from double-glazed bronze anodized frames and modern finishes in the bathroom and kitchen.
Buyers should note the material costs of ownership: an annual service charge of £1,787.59 and a ground rent of £600 pa, plus an expensive council tax band. The property sits in an inner-city, high-crime and relatively deprived area despite strong transport links and nearby cultural amenities. Heating is via a community scheme, which can affect bills and choice of provider.
Overall this is a convenient, high‑spec one-bedroom in a premium Zone 1 development that suits a buyer seeking turnkey central‑London living or a landlord targeting professional tenants. Factor in ongoing running costs and the urban context when assessing value.
