This compact two-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor has been freshly refurbished and presented in a contemporary style. Neutral finishes, high ceilings and large sash-style windows create bright, airy rooms despite the property’s small footprint (circa 515 sq ft). The open-plan reception and fitted kitchen suit low-maintenance city living for a first-time buyer or couple.
The building offers communal amenities including a roof terrace, outdoor gym area and basketball court, and the flat is chain-free for a straightforward purchase. Transport links are strong: Bermondsey Street, London Bridge and Elephant & Castle are all within walking distance, making the City and wider central London easily reachable.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of about £1,300 and sits in an area with higher-than-average crime and social deprivation indicators. The building dates from before 1900 and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation, so heating efficiency is moderate and further insulation or energy improvements could be needed. EPC information in imagery suggests a current rating around 55 with scope to improve.
Overall, this is a well-styled, move-in ready central-London flat that offers strong transport convenience and communal facilities. It suits a buyer seeking an affordable entry into the SE1 market, aware of leasehold costs and the potential need for energy upgrades and close-area considerations.
