A bright, recently refurbished two-double-bedroom flat in a red-brick mansion block just minutes from London Bridge and Borough Market. The apartment benefits from large sash-style windows, parquet floors and a newly fitted bathroom; the separate kitchen and living room give a comfortable, flexible layout for everyday living or working from home. A private balcony overlooks the communal courtyard, adding an outdoor spot in this central location.
Practical points are clear: the flat is chain free, has been rewired and has modern heating via mains gas boiler and radiators. At about 643 sq ft it offers generous room proportions by inner‑city standards and will suit first-time buyers seeking space near major transport hubs (London Bridge, Blackfriars, Southwark) and cultural amenities along the Southbank.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important to consider. The property is leasehold with 88 years remaining — this will affect mortgage availability and future resale value unless the lease is extended. The building has solid brick walls (no known insulation) and there is no private garden — outdoor space is limited to the small balcony and communal courtyard. Local crime levels are reported as high; potential buyers should check local safety and security measures.
Overall this is a well-presented central London flat with period character and modern fittings that will appeal to first-time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors aware of the lease and location trade-offs.
