Set within a handsome Victorian terrace on picturesque Roupell Street, this exceptionally large two-bedroom apartment (approx. 1,605 sq ft) combines striking period character with contemporary living. Double-height ceilings, Gothic-style sash windows and exposed timber floors create light-filled, dramatic spaces. The principal bedroom is generous and connects to a stylish bathroom featuring a freestanding bath; a mezzanine bedroom overlooks the main living area via an open-tread stair and black metal balustrade.
The bespoke kitchen sits at the heart of the home, with a marble-topped island, integrated appliances and plentiful shelving that open directly onto versatile living and dining zones. Dual aspect windows and roof skylights flood the space with natural light; the layout defines separate lounging, dining and reading areas while retaining an airy, loft-like feel. Share of freehold, 99 years remaining on the lease and a below-average service charge (£240) add practical value.
Location is a key asset: 0.2 miles from Waterloo station with direct Underground and national rail links, and a short walk to the South Bank’s theatres, galleries and markets. Local amenities are abundant and mobile/broadband connectivity is excellent. The property sits inside the Roupell Street Conservation Area, offering an attractive historic street scene and a strong sense of community.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the wider area scores as deprived, which may affect insurance and long-term outlook. There is a single bathroom only, and the apartment’s large, open-plan volumes mean heating costs can be higher than in smaller homes. No significant flood risk is recorded. This is best suited to buyers prioritising character, space and central connectivity rather than a low-crime suburban environment.
