Bright one-bedroom with private terrace near Southwark Park and transport.
Private balcony/terrace overlooking urban surroundings
Light-filled one-bedroom apartment with a private balcony, generous storage and a separate kitchen — practical for first-time buyers seeking central London living. The reception room opens to an outdoor terrace, adding usable space and a pleasant spot for morning coffee or fresh air. At approximately 536 sq ft the layout feels comfortable rather than compact, with built-in storage and a generous communal storeroom helping keep clutter at bay.
The flat sits a short walk from Southwark Park and multiple transport links, including Surrey Quays Overground, Canada Water and Bermondsey stations, making commutes straightforward. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home-working, while nearby shops, markets, cafes and gyms cover everyday needs.
Important facts to note: the property is leasehold with 105 years remaining, an annual service charge of £3,496 (includes heating and hot water) and a peppercorn ground rent. The building was constructed in the late 1970s–early 1980s and benefits from double glazing installed post-2002 and a community heating scheme.
This is a practical, well-located starter home or buy-to-let opportunity for someone comfortable living in an inner-city neighbourhood. Be aware the wider area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, so factor that into suitability and insurance or rental assessments.
