Set within a sought-after Borough address, this spacious 2-bedroom flat offers 1,019 sq ft of flexible living in a period building. The large reception room and open-plan kitchen create a generous social heart, while two double bedrooms, a sleek bathroom and an en suite suit sharers or a small family.
The apartment benefits from double glazing and plentiful natural light throughout. Its central SE1 location places restaurants, shops and transport links — including London Bridge and Southwark stations — within easy walking distance, making it ideal for commuters and city professionals.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: heating is electric with room heaters rather than central gas, broadband speeds are very slow, and the building has solid brick walls assumed to lack insulation. Service charge and annual ground rent are above average for many buyers, and the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime levels.
With 104 years remaining on the lease and period character retained, the flat offers immediate livability with scope for energy and comfort improvements. It will appeal to buyers seeking large living space in a prime central location who are prepared to budget for running costs and potential upgrades.
