Set across the seventh and eighth floors, this two-bedroom penthouse in Bermondsey Square delivers panoramic city views, a rooftop terrace and a large balcony — strong external amenity rare for central London flats. The open-plan reception and well-appointed kitchen create bright, efficient living space suited to a professional couple or investor seeking high letability.
The main bedroom includes an en suite and the apartment benefits from generous entrance storage and a modern main shower room. Double glazing, contemporary finishes and a 24-hour concierge contribute to a turnkey feel and appeal to buyers looking for convenience and security in a cosmopolitan location.
Buyers should note material running costs: an annual service charge of £79,500 and ground rent of £3,600 are very high and will significantly affect net returns and monthly expenditure. The lease has approximately 108 years remaining; council tax is above average and local recorded crime levels are high — factors to weigh alongside the location and finish.
This property’s strengths are the roof terrace, skyline views and central SE1 address with excellent transport links to London Bridge and the City. It is best suited to those prioritising outdoor entertaining space, a prestigious address and strong rental demand, provided they are comfortable with elevated service costs.
