Set within a contemporary development at the foot of Borough High Street, this one-bedroom apartment offers practical, city-centre living for a first-time buyer. The open-plan living space overlooks the communal gardens and benefits from double glazing and a modern fitted kitchen. At 524 sq ft the layout feels comfortable for single occupancy or a couple, and the property is offered chain free.
Residents have the convenience of a 24-hour concierge and easy access to excellent transport links — London Bridge is approximately 0.4 miles away and Borough Market's shops and cafés are on the doorstep. The building dates from the early 2000s and presents a low flood risk with generally fast broadband and strong mobile signal, suited for urban lifestyles.
Buyers should note the apartment is leasehold (very long lease remaining: 976 years) and heated by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system; this can affect running costs and comfort. The local area is an inner-city, multicultural neighbourhood with high footfall and a very high recorded crime level — important factors for those valuing quiet or stricter security considerations.
Overall this property suits someone seeking a low-maintenance, well-located city base close to amenities and transport, with scope to personalise the interior. Council tax is moderate and the apartment is ready for immediate occupation or rental, offered chain free for a straightforward purchase.
