Light-filled and efficiently planned, this one-bedroom fourth-floor apartment makes a compact London base with excellent transport links. At 419 sq ft the layout prioritises functionality: a versatile bedroom with built-in storage, a bright living room with balcony access, and communal workspaces that extend your usable area. New-build specification and an EPC B rating mean good thermal performance and modern services.
Residents benefit from shared amenities that suit city life: a sun terrace, a communal co-working lounge, and secure cycle storage for active commuters. South Bermondsey station is about a seven-minute walk, with London Bridge reachable by a short train ride — practical for daily commuting and central leisure. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 119 years remaining and an annual ground rent of £350. The apartment is on the fourth floor, so buyers should confirm access arrangements (lift) if this is a concern. The overall footprint is small, which suits single buyers or couples but limits space for large furniture.
The local area is inner-city cosmopolitan and currently classed as deprived, with average crime levels; nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding. This apartment will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a modern, low-maintenance starter home or investors seeking a well-located rental in a regenerating neighbourhood.
