Set on the South Bank, this two-bedroom apartment at One Blackfriars offers exceptionally large, contemporary living with panoramic views across the Thames and London skyline. The open-plan living/kitchen and winter garden create a flexible entertaining space flooded with natural light; high-quality finishes and built-in wardrobes complete a turnkey urban home.
Residents benefit from extensive on-site facilities — sky garden, spa, fitness suite, wine cellar and professional workspaces — that support premium rental or lifestyle positioning. Transport links are strong: Waterloo East and several mainline and Underground stations are within easy walking distance, making the location very well connected for commuters.
Buyers should note material running costs: an exceptionally high annual service charge of £23,380 and a ground rent of £750. Council tax is also described as expensive. The property is leasehold (992 years remaining) and heated via a community scheme, which may affect individual control and some operating costs.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a high-spec central London residence or a premium investment with strong tenant appeal. The combination of large internal space, landmark views and resident amenities is compelling, but factor ongoing service charges and local crime levels into affordability and management plans.
