Set on the 20th floor of Simla House, this 664 sq ft two-bedroom apartment delivers exceptional elevated skyline views and a private full-length balcony — a strong draw for buyers seeking central SE1 location and rental appeal. The bright open-plan reception and modern fitted kitchen create a flexible living space attractive to professionals and sharers. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, with the master over 14ft, supporting rental income from a second room or a home office arrangement.
Practical details suit an investor or a cash purchaser: the property is chain-free, benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, lift access and residents’ off-street parking. The block is an ex-local authority building maintained to a good standard; it sits moments from Bermondsey Street, London Bridge Station and local food markets, places that typically sustain steady tenant demand.
Material considerations are stated plainly: this sale is cash buyers only. The property is leasehold with about 105 years remaining, an annual service charge around £2,132 and a ground rent of approximately £10 per year. There is a single bathroom and average overall size, which may limit appeal to larger households. Crime levels are average for the area.
For an investor or experienced buyer with cash available, this apartment offers immediate rental potential and strong location-led upside. For owner-occupiers, the view, centrality and well-presented interior offer an attractive city base — provided the leasehold and service charge profile fit long-term plans.
