A characterful one-bedroom apartment on the third floor of a converted warehouse in Shad Thames, recently renovated and finished to a modern standard. The layout gives a large reception room with exposed brickwork and hardwood floors, a separate compact kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in storage, and a small private balcony overlooking the inner courtyard. The apartment extends to about 575 sq ft (53.4 sq m), offering generous reception space for a central-London one-bed.
Practical ownership benefits include a newly extended 999-year lease (updated July 2025), share of freehold, lift access and a daytime porter for added security. A secure underground parking space is included — a rare asset in SE1 — and the building has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, suitable for home working. The location is strongly desirable: minutes from Tower Bridge, Bermondsey Street, Borough Market and close to London Bridge and Tower Hill transport links.
Buyers should note a few material facts: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property has secondary glazing; the building’s solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. Council tax is above average for the borough. The kitchen is compact and the flat has no private garden — it’s an urban apartment designed for central-city living rather than outdoor space.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking central character and convenience, or an investor targeting strong rental demand in SE1. It combines period warehouse character with contemporary improvements, but consider running costs tied to electric heating and the compact kitchen when comparing alternatives.
