The location places you within easy reach of Tower Bridge, Borough and Maltby Street markets, Bermondsey Street and major transport hubs such as London Bridge and Bermondsey tube stations.
Notable running costs and building particulars are provided plainly: the service charge is relatively high at £4,628 pa, council tax is above average and crime in the immediate area is reported as above average. The building is a historic conversion with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) and double glazing installed before 2002, which may mean future insulation or window upgrades are desirable.
