A bright, well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment in Corio House, set in the heart of Bermondsey and just a short walk from London Bridge. The open-plan kitchen/living area opens onto a private terrace, providing a useful outdoor space for morning coffee or casual entertaining. At approximately 605 sq ft the flat feels larger than a typical one-bedroom, with a generous bedroom and built-in wardrobe.
The building is contemporary and well maintained, with communal areas and lift access. The property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it a practical base for city professionals or couples who need reliable connectivity. Local amenities include cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and good transport links to central London.
Practical costs and tenure are clear: long lease (239 years), annual service charge £3,900 and ground rent £550. Heating is supplied via a community scheme — convenient but means residents are tied to communal maintenance and operational arrangements. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs relatively low compared with central London alternatives.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking central SE1 location and outdoor space without sacrificing connectivity. The layout is largely move-in ready, although choice finishes reflect contemporary urban living rather than period character.
