This fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment offers contemporary open-plan living with a large private balcony and clear views towards The Shard. At about 753 sq ft the layout gives two genuine double bedrooms, good storage in the entrance hall and underfloor heating throughout, making the interior comfortable and low-profile to run.
The building delivers lifestyle conveniences: a concierge service, communal gym, bookable residents' room and roof garden — useful extras for work-from-home days and socialising without leaving the block. The property is chain free and has a long lease of approximately 117 years, which supports straightforward purchase timelines.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an above-average service charge of £7,280 and council tax rated above average. Heating is provided via a community scheme rather than an individual boiler, and the local area has higher-than-average crime and significant deprivation indexes. These factors affect ongoing costs and local risk perceptions.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer seeking a turnkey, well-specified city base near Elephant & Castle transport links and green spaces. It also has appeal for professionals who prioritise building amenities and an easy move-in. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission standard surveys and to check service-charge accounts and leasehold documentation before committing.
