Light-filled one-bedroom apartment offering a roomy 688 sq ft layout in central SE1. Set on the second floor of a well-kept purpose-built block, the flat gives a generous double bedroom with ensuite, a separate WC and a large reception with a Juliet balcony — a comfortable urban home for a first-time buyer or commuter.
Location is the principal draw: 0.4 miles from Waterloo and within easy walking distance of Lambeth North and Elephant & Castle stations. The property sits opposite the Imperial War Museum and a short walk from the South Bank’s theatres, restaurants and cultural amenities, putting central London life on your doorstep. The building provides lift access, secure phone entry and communal hallway storage.
Practical positives include a very long lease (950 years), double glazing and electric underfloor heating. Be aware of a few material points: broadband speeds are reported very slow, council tax is above average, and the local area records above-average crime and some area deprivation indicators. The apartment is leasehold and best suited to buyers who value location and space over a rural or suburban setting.
