Light-filled 2-bed apartment with private walled garden and strong central links.
Grade II-listed Georgian first/upper ground apartment with period features
Set within a Grade II-listed Georgian terrace on Surrey Square, this 2-bedroom apartment offers 885 sq ft of lateral living with period detail and a private walled garden. Dual-aspect sash windows give an east–west aspect and consistent natural light; reclaimed floorboards and restored fireplaces preserve the home’s historic character while upgraded kitchen and bathroom fittings deliver modern comfort.
The layout suits a couple or small family seeking character close to central London: principal bedroom with concealed wardrobe, second double room and a flexible third room currently used as a nursery. Shared communal access leads down to a private garden space planted in a low-maintenance prairie style, ideal for relaxing and practical storage in the shed.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the building’s listed status will restrict some alterations and can complicate approvals. The property is leasehold with approximately 103 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,100 and a nominal ground rent of £10. Walls are solid brick (no cavity insulation assumed), which may limit insulation improvements and could increase heating costs despite the mains gas boiler and radiators.
Location is a key strength: quiet square setting with very low crime, excellent mobile and fast broadband, and walking access to Borough, Bermondsey and London Bridge. Public transport and local amenities are strong, though the wider area records higher deprivation statistics; council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, this is a character-filled, light-filled London apartment for buyers who prioritise period charm, outdoor space and central access — and who understand the constraints of a listed, leasehold property.
