Summary - 51 BUTLERS & COLONIAL WHARF LONDON SE1 2PY
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Flexible live-work space close to London Bridge and the river in historic Shad Thames.
Extremely large 1,877 sq.ft two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment
Exceptionally spacious 2-bedroom apartment occupying 1,877 sq.ft in the converted Butlers & Colonial Wharf development. The property blends industrial character—exposed brick, high ceilings and hardwood floors—with modern systems and a flexible open-plan layout that has been used as a photography studio. Two entrances, a large principal reception area, two bathrooms and an allocated undercover parking space add practical convenience.
This ground-floor home sits within a gated courtyard with daytime concierge, secure entry and a quiet, central Shad Thames location minutes from the river and a short walk to London Bridge. The 972-year lease removes long-lease concern; mains gas heating and double glazing pre-2002 are in place, and the building has recently had a new roof and communal repairs completed as part of the service charge.
Notable running costs and constraints are factual: an above-average service charge (~£8,000 pa) and relatively high council tax. The property sits in the Tower Bridge Conservation Area, and internal mobile reception may be limited despite excellent external coverage. EPC rating C; planning checks recommended for business or major change of use.
This is best for a buyer seeking a large, flexible central-London space for live-work use or an investor wanting a distinctive, well-located asset. The setting and layout present clear potential for continued creative or rental use, but budget for service charges, taxes and any bespoke retrofit works when planning next steps.
