Off-street dedicated car parking space included.

Annual service charge £2,002.20 — relatively high for a one-bed.
Electric room heaters; no communal heating, may raise energy costs.
Solid brick walls assumed without insulation; retrofit may be needed.
566 sq ft — comfortable one-bed layout for single/couple.
Edwardian building with character, close to transport and green spaces.
Bright, well-proportioned and chain-free, this first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Rotherhithe suits a single professional or couple seeking easy transport links and a private outdoor spot. The living room benefits from large windows and a sunny balcony overlooking mature communal landscaping, extending your living space in fine weather.
Practical benefits include an off-street parking space, separate kitchen, built-in bedroom storage and double glazing. The building’s Edwardian brick character and quiet setting sit close to Rotherhithe Pier, local buses and green spaces such as Stave Hill Ecological Park and Russia Dock Woodland.
Buyers should note material issues: the lease currently sits at 85 years and a 999-year extension is in progress — renewing short leases can incur significant cost and delay. Annual service charge is substantial at £2,002.20 and heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal system, which may increase running costs. Walls are solid brick with no confirmed insulation, so further energy improvements may be desirable.
Overall this is a comfortable, well-located one-bedroom with immediate move-in potential and clear scope to add value through lease extension and energy upgrades. It will appeal to first-time buyers or investors willing to manage the lease and service-charge considerations.
