Rare 3-bed SE1 maisonette — bright reception, balcony, excellent transport links.
Top-floor 3-bedroom maisonette, 865 sq ft
A rare three-bedroom, top-floor maisonette in central SE1, offering 865 sq ft of flexible living across two levels. The main reception faces southeast, floods with light and opens onto a small balcony; the separate kitchen and WC on the lower level support family flow and practical day-to-day use. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a large single, plus a bright family bathroom — an arrangement well suited to families, sharers or investors seeking rental potential.
The property is presented in good decorative order with double glazing, gas central heating, lift access and residents’ off-street parking. Its location on St Saviours Estate places Borough, Bermondsey Street, Maltby Street markets and London Bridge within easy reach, with excellent public transport and riverboat options nearby. Chain free with a long lease (103 years remaining) makes completion more straightforward.
Notable points to weigh: the flat is leasehold with a service charge of around £2,250pa and a nominal ground rent of £10pa. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and some fixtures — including kitchen appliances — are dated and likely to need updating. The neighbourhood is inner-city and vibrant but records above-average crime and pockets of deprivation, so buyers should view with local context in mind.
Overall this is a practical, well-located family home or investment with immediate habitation potential and clear scope for value-add through cosmetic modernisation of the kitchen and bathrooms.
