A bright, well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment in Benbow House, set on the South Bank between Blackfriars and London Bridge. The open-plan living space opens onto a west-facing balcony with direct views across the Thames towards St Paul’s, while a generous double bedroom and good built-in storage make the flat comfortable for daily city living.
Practical benefits include share of freehold with a very long lease (971 years), secure off-street underground parking, a 24-hour concierge and a raised communal garden. The property is offered chain free and sits close to major transport links, cultural attractions and riverside amenities — ideal for a city professional or couple seeking a central base.
Notable running costs: the annual service charge is £6,571 and council tax is above average. The building is in an inner-city area with a higher local crime rate; buyers should factor security and insurance considerations into their plans. The flat is well-maintained and modern, but service charges may affect buy-to-let yields or overall ownership costs.
Overall this is a convenient, move-in-ready riverside home with strong lifestyle appeal — river views, parking and concierge are uncommon at this scale in central locations. Buyers should verify all figures and building specifics before committing.
