This fourth-floor one-bedroom apartment on Lant Street delivers bright, modern city living with a large private balcony and open-plan kitchen/reception. The layout makes efficient use of roughly 523–585 sq ft of internal space, suitable for a single buyer, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking central SE1 convenience.
The property is chain free and benefits from a very long lease (980 years), secure entry, bike storage and fast broadband/mobile connectivity. Its location is exceptional — London Bridge, Borough Market, The Shard and the South Bank are all within easy walking distance, giving strong lifestyle and rental appeal.
Buyers should note material practical issues: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal or gas system, which may be less economical; the area records very high crime levels, which could affect insurance and tenant demand; and the property is leasehold with Council Tax Band D. The flat is average-sized for central London and likely requires only routine updating rather than major works.
Overall, this is a straightforward, low-risk central London flat for someone prioritising location, connectivity and a private outdoor space. Investors will appreciate the long lease and rental market; owner-occupiers get a compact, modern home close to major amenities, though they should plan for heating costs and local safety considerations.
