Bright sixth-floor apartment in a central SE1 location, ideal for buyers seeking strong rental or owner-occupier appeal. The open-plan living area opens onto a substantial private balcony with east-facing skyline and riverside glimpses, delivering generous natural light and entertaining space. Two double bedrooms and a large bathroom make this a flexible city home or income-producing asset.

The building provides 24-hour concierge and sits moments from the Southbank’s cultural amenities, with excellent transport links at Southwark, Blackfriars and Waterloo. The long lease (990 years) and chain-free sale simplify purchase logistics and lend long-term security to ownership.

Practical points to consider: the property sits within a community heating scheme and attracts a high service charge (£8,000 p.a.) plus an annual ground rent of £475 and above-average council tax (Band E). The wider area records above-average crime and local deprivation indices; buyers should assess personal priorities for safety and local services. Parking is not guaranteed — there is only potential for parking subject to availability.

Overall this is a well-presented, spacious city apartment with clear lifestyle and investment strengths — substantial internal footprint (approx 887 sq ft), large balcony and concierge — balanced by notable running costs and inner-city considerations.
