Set inside a period conversion in the heart of Borough, this two-bedroom duplex maisonette combines character features with recent updates. The house-like layout spans two levels and is bright from dual-aspect sash windows and a large skylight. A newly renovated shower room and a practical kitchen make the apartment move-in ready.
A standout is the private roof terrace with wooden decking and clear city views, including a sightline toward The Shard — a rare outdoor space for central-london living. At about 629 sq ft the home offers two double bedrooms and a flexible reception area suited to first-time buyers seeking a central base with entertaining potential.
Practical details are favourable: 101 years remaining on the lease, below-average service charge (£901), small ground rent (£85) and very low flood risk. Transport links are excellent with Borough, Southwark and London Bridge within walking distance and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for remote working.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold and on-street parking only. The wider area records very high crime levels — central location benefits come with typical inner-city safety trade-offs. Prospective buyers should budget for normal ongoing maintenance of a period building despite recent internal refurbishment.
