This striking duplex occupies over 1,200 sq ft in a converted Victorian school, offering dramatic double-height living space and exposed brick character. Large sash windows and vaulted ceilings create a bright, airy reception with a modern open-plan kitchen and a private balcony overlooking the local streetscape.
The layout places two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper level, with an additional WC and a flexible dressing room/study — useful for home working. The long lease (982 years) and gated development provide tenure security and a degree of privacy in a central location close to Waterloo and Lambeth North stations.
Practical costs and local context are important: service charges average £3,500 a year, ground rent £250, and council tax sits in Band E. The immediate area records higher crime levels than average; buyers should factor this into viewing and security decisions.
Ideal for buyers who prioritise space, period character and proximity to the South Bank’s amenities, the flat also suits buy-to-let investors seeking strong rental demand in SE1. The property is well presented but its central position and service costs should be weighed against its substantial living space and conversion charm.
