This chain-free, EWS1-compliant Manhattan-style apartment offers 507 sq ft of high-spec city living in One Blackfriars, a landmark riverside tower beside Southbank. The open-plan layout, floor-to-ceiling glazing and a full-height winter garden maximise light and city views, while fitted appliances, stone bathroom finishes and integrated home automation deliver a low-maintenance, turnkey home or rental unit.
Residents benefit from a broad suite of shared amenities — gym, 25m pool, thermal suite, virtual golf, screening room, wine cellars, 32nd-floor lounge and 24-hour concierge — which enhance lifestyle and lettability. Excellent transport links to the Jubilee Line, Blackfriars and central London locations make this a convenient base for professionals working across the City, West End and Canary Wharf.
Buyers should note material cost factors: the service charge is high at £7,402 pa and ground rent is £500 pa; council tax is described as expensive. Heating is provided via a community scheme (no individual boiler). The property sits in an area with very high recorded crime rates; purchasers should factor this into personal security preferences and insurance costs.
The apartment is offered on a long lease (992 years) and is chain free, which simplifies purchase. Its compact 1-bed footprint suits a single professional, city-based couple or investor seeking strong amenity-led rental appeal rather than a family home with outdoor space.
