Bright, spacious and surprisingly roomy for a one-bedroom, this second-floor apartment offers over 700 sq ft of open-plan living in SE16. Large windows and a covered terrace-style balcony bring plenty of natural light and extend the living area outdoors — useful for dining or a work-from-home break. The kitchen includes integrated appliances and the bedroom easily fits a super-king bed with room for wardrobes.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space with EV charging, a long 114-year lease, and chain-free sale — helpful for buyers seeking a straightforward completion. There is also realistic scope (subject to permissions) to reconfigure the layout into a two-bedroom apartment, which could appeal to buyers wanting growth potential or a better rental yield.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with a service charge averaging £2,469pa and a small ground rent of £250pa. The immediate area is a busy inner-city location with excellent transport links to Bermondsey and London Bridge, lots of local amenities, and fast broadband — but it also records higher local crime levels and sits within a deprived area classification. These factors are worth weighing against the home’s size, location and conversion potential.
Overall this apartment will suit first-time buyers or London pied-à-terre seekers who prioritise space, transport convenience and future reconfiguration potential, while accepting the realities of an urban neighbourhood and the ongoing leasehold costs.
