A bright, top-floor one-bedroom apartment in a sought-after SE1 position a short walk from the City and riverside attractions. Retained period details — herringbone/parquet flooring and an Art Deco fireplace — give character often missing in modern one-beds. The separate contemporary kitchen opens onto a south-facing balcony; communal roof terrace, gardens and a playground add valuable outdoor space for an inner‑city flat.
Practical facts are straightforward: the property is chain free with 87 years remaining on the lease, service charges around £700pa and ground rent £10pa. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows have secondary glazing and the building is solid brick (likely no wall insulation). These details support comfortable central living but point to future maintenance or upgrading costs for insulation or lease extension.
This flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a well‑located, characterful home or an investor after a city one-bed with good natural light and rental appeal. Be aware the lease length is below ideal long-term levels — buyers may need to budget for a lease extension eventually. Also note the listing area reports higher crime levels, which should be considered alongside the excellent transport, amenities and strong local schools.
