This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Lancaster Street offers a contemporary, low-maintenance base for a single occupant or couple. The open-plan living area, sleek kitchen and large glazed doors open onto a west-facing private terraced garden, bringing valuable outdoor space to central London living. The finish is high-spec with underfloor heating and a separate utility cupboard, making day-to-day life comfortable.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (989 years), a valid EWS1 certificate, secure entry and bike storage, and chain-free sale — all helpful for a smooth purchase or rental placement. The location sits quietly off Blackfriars Road with excellent transport links to Waterloo, Southwark and London Bridge and a wide range of local amenities, cafes and cultural attractions.
Be aware of a few material considerations: the property is served by a community heating scheme (limited individual control), the advertised broadband speed is very slow, and local crime rates are above average. The service charge, around £1,756 per year, and council tax band D are additional ongoing costs to factor in. The apartment’s long, narrow layout and compact garden mean space is efficient but not expansive.
Overall this flat is suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-presented, ready-to-move-in central London home with outdoor amenity and secure communal facilities. Buyers who prioritise fast broadband, private heating control or larger external space should note the trade-offs before viewing.
