Set on the first floor of a secure modern block moments from the Thames, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment offers a sizeable, versatile layout in the heart of South Bank. The reception room easily accommodates dining and living areas, while the double bedroom provides comfortable sleeping space. Residents benefit from on-site leisure facilities including a gym, swimming pool and communal garden — practical extras for city living.
The flat measures about 593 sq ft, constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s, and features double glazing (installation date unknown) and electric storage heaters. These heaters are functional but typically costlier than gas central heating, so heating bills may be higher than modern systems. The property is leasehold; prospective buyers should check lease length and service charge details before committing.
Location is a major draw: a short walk takes you to the Thames and South Bank attractions, with excellent public transport, fast broadband and a wide range of shops, restaurants and cultural venues on the doorstep. Schools in the area include strong state and independent options, making the flat suitable for buyers seeking good local education provision.
Be mindful of local conditions: the immediate area records very high crime levels, and the South Bank position can bring noise from busy streets and visitor footfall at peak times. There is very low flood risk. Overall this apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor who values central riverside living and building amenities, and who is prepared to manage leasehold costs and potentially higher heating expenses.
