This sunny one-bedroom apartment on Leroy Street offers compact, well-presented living ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking central Bermondsey location. The open-plan reception provides space for dining and relaxing, while a separate fitted kitchen keeps cooking activity distinct from the living area. Warm wooden flooring and a generous bedroom with fitted wardrobe create a comfortable, move-in-ready feel.
Practical benefits include secure off-street parking, a very long lease (c. 991 years) and share of freehold, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The building is a modern purpose-built block from the 1990s with double glazing already installed, and the flat sits close to Bermondsey Station, the Thames, and local cafés, shops and restaurants.
Buyers should note the apartment is small at about 400 sq ft and will suit someone comfortable with compact city living. Heating is by electric storage heaters which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. Service charges average £1,746 annually. The immediate area scores high for crime and shows local deprivation indicators—prospective purchasers should factor neighbourhood conditions into their decision.
Overall, this is a practical, low-maintenance central-SE1 one-bedroom that offers long-term security through a long lease and share of freehold, strong transport links, and immediate rental or owner-occupation potential, balanced against compact internal space and local area challenges.
