Set on the sixth floor of Whitehouse Apartments, this 1-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-laid-out living space (approx. 565 sq ft) with wood flooring, a double bedroom with built-in storage, and a bright kitchen. Shared roof terrace and city views extend the living area, while a residents’ gym, indoor pool and 24-hour concierge add convenience and lifestyle appeal.
The location is a standout: 0.5 miles from Waterloo station and close to Southwark, theatres, cafes and riverside attractions — ideal for someone working in central London or seeking easy transport links. The long lease (969 years) removes a common buyer worry and makes mortgage lending straightforward.
Be clear on costs and local conditions. The annual service charge is high at around £6,400 and council tax is described as expensive; factor these into monthly outgoings. The building uses a community heating scheme and mains gas; glazing is double but install date is unknown. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, so consider security needs despite the development’s concierge presence.
Structurally the building dates from the 1950–66 era with assumed system-built walls and no confirmed insulation; this may affect future retrofit or maintenance plans. Overall this is a convenient, well-amenitised central London flat that suits a first-time buyer or investor prioritising location and on-site facilities, provided they accept higher ongoing charges and urban surroundings.
