Chain-free two-bed with balcony, long lease and excellent transport links.
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment, approx. 768 sq ft
Tucked on a quiet side street moments from Borough Station and Borough Market, this chain-free two-bedroom apartment offers 768 sq ft of bright, practical living in a modern 2006 development. The open-plan living room leads onto a west-facing private balcony, bringing afternoon sun and a useful outdoor space for urban dining or relaxation. The contemporary kitchen has built-in appliances, and two well-proportioned double bedrooms suit a couple, sharers or small family.
Practical benefits include a long lease (approx. 106 years remaining), communal gardens, secure bike storage and lift access. The apartment is sold with no onward chain, making it straightforward for a buyer to move or let. Broadband and mobile connectivity are excellent, and the immediate area offers a wealth of shops, cafés, restaurants and excellent primary schools.
Notable costs and considerations are the service charge (about £3,429 p.a.) and a small ground rent (£200 p.a.). Heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs. The location is inner-city cosmopolitan but records very high local crime levels, so buyers should consider security needs and insurance implications.
Overall this apartment will appeal to first-time buyers, young professionals and investors seeking a well-located, move-in-ready property with strong transport links, long lease security and immediate rental or owner-occupier potential.
