This compact one-bedroom apartment occupies a ground-floor position in a 1920s Art Deco conversion moments from Bermondsey Street and Bermondsey Spa Gardens. The open-plan living and kitchen area is light-filled from a run of windows, and the generous double bedroom provides sensible storage for a central-London home. A large communal rooftop terrace extends the usable space and offers outdoor access in a dense urban setting.
The flat is offered chain free and benefits from a desirable SE1 location with excellent transport links via London Bridge and Bermondsey stations, plus close access to Borough and Maltby Street markets. Finished in neutral tones with wood-effect flooring, the layout is efficient and suited to a single professional or couple seeking a well-located city base with strong neighbourhood amenities.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease shows 65 years remaining which will significantly limit mortgage options—many lenders may refuse to lend until the lease is extended. The annual service charge is £2,234 and council tax is in an expensive band; heating is electric room heaters rather than mains gas central heating. The apartment’s total area is 367 sq ft, so living space is modest and there is no private outdoor space or parking.
For someone able to buy outright or prepared to arrange a lease extension, this flat offers strong location value and good rental appeal. The property suits buyers prioritising proximity to central London amenities and transport over internal space. Any purchaser should obtain confirmation of lease extension costs and lender acceptability before committing.
