Bright one-bedroom flat with rare private roof terrace, steps from Bermondsey station.
Private roof terrace with city views
A bright one-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained period conversion, this flat pairs contemporary finishes with a very rare private roof terrace and city views. The open living area and bedroom receive good natural light; hardwood floors and a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom present a low-maintenance home ready to occupy.
Located a short walk from Bermondsey Underground (Jubilee line) and local hubs such as Maltby Street Market and Shad Thames, the property suits someone who wants quick links to London Bridge, Canary Wharf and the West End. The oversized terrace materially increases usable space — ideal for outdoor entertaining or relaxing with treed city vistas.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with 108 years remaining and a small annual ground rent of £250. The building dates from the 1950s–60s with solid brick walls (likely without modern cavity insulation) and double glazing installed before 2002 — improvements could reduce future running costs. Internal space is compact (approx 482 sq ft) so it’s best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family.
Overall this is an attractive entry-level purchase or buy-to-let in a popular, well-connected part of SE16. Buyers valuing outdoor space and proximity to transport and markets will appreciate the rare terrace; those wanting larger internal rooms or a fully upgraded thermal envelope should factor potential improvement costs into their plans.
