Summary - Flat 3 Nickleby House, George Row SE16 4UW
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful flat with private garden near excellent transport links.
Two double bedrooms with generous main bedroom space
Set just moments from the river in Shad Thames, this two-double-bedroom flat combines period character with practical modern living. The apartment offers generous reception space, a fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and a private garden — rare for central-London flats — all within a compact 707 sq ft footprint. With 116 years remaining on the lease and available chain-free, it’s immediately habitable for first-time buyers or professionals wanting straightforward access to Bermondsey and London Bridge.
The location is a standout: 0.2 miles to Bermondsey tube and 0.6 miles to London Bridge, surrounded by artisan shops, markets, cafés and good schools. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working, while the garden provides a private outdoor retreat. The building’s solid-brick Victorian construction and sash windows give character; one reception area benefits from high ceilings and natural light.
Buyers should note some practical considerations. The area records higher crime levels and wider deprivation indicators, which may concern some purchasers. The property’s walls are assumed to be uninsulated (solid brick), and some internal areas show signs of age or need light modernisation despite a generally well-maintained presentation. Double glazing was installed before 2002. Annual costs include a service charge of about £1,950 and a ground rent of £10.
Overall, this is a well-positioned, characterful flat offering scope to personalise while enjoying a rare private garden and excellent transport links. It suits first-time buyers and professionals seeking an accessible London base with long lease security and immediate occupation potential.
