This well-presented two-bedroom apartment on the 6th floor offers bright, elevated views across Southwark Park and a full-length private balcony — perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The 689 sq ft layout includes a 14ft reception that divides neatly into seating and dining areas, a separate 14ft kitchen and two genuine double bedrooms (master approx. 15ft). The building provides lift access, secure entry and residents’ parking.
The flat has been upgraded and maintained by the current owner: modern bathroom, double glazing and central heating via the community scheme. It is offered chain free, making it suitable for first-time buyers or investors seeking a ready-to-move-in rental. The central SE16 location is highly convenient — Bermondsey station, riverside amenities, Southwark Park and popular food markets are all close by.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining; the current service charge is around £3,500 pa (includes heating and hot water) and ground rent listed at £10 pa. The wider area records higher crime levels and is classified as deprived, factors to consider for families and lettings. The community heating means residents have limited control over boiler replacement and running costs.
Overall, this apartment offers immediate comfort, strong natural light and excellent transport and leisure connections, balanced against lease length, high service charge and local area issues. It will suit buyers wanting a central, move-in ready home or landlords targeting solid rental demand close to Bermondsey and the City.
