A newly refurbished three-double-bedroom flat on the third storey, finished with pale timber floors, large period windows and high ceilings.

The apartment benefits from a rare private off-street parking space within the development — a valuable convenience in central SE1.
This is a compact, lateral city home of about 720 sq ft designed for efficient living. It suits professionals or first-time buyers seeking ready-to-move-in accommodation close to Borough tube, Bermondsey Street and the Thames. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and the flat has a long lease (124 years) which supports future mortgageability and resale.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property is leasehold (service charge c. £1,600 p.a., ground rent £10), has only one bathroom for three double bedrooms, and the building walls are solid brick with assumed minimal insulation. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high, so prospective purchasers should consider security measures and personal safety when viewing.
Energy performance is middling (EPC current band D score 64 with potential improvement), and while the fit-out is new, there may be scope for further energy upgrades. Overall this flat offers turnkey, contemporary city living with the uncommon benefit of private parking, balanced by modest size and some urban-area drawbacks.
