Bermondsey Square, SE1 3UN

Guide Price £425,000 - £450,000. Set in Bermondsey Square, this beautifully placed one-bedroom apartment brings together the things that are increasingly hard to find in London.

A genuinely private outdoor space, wonderfully characterful surroundings, brilliant restaurants and bars practically on your doorstep.

The private terrace is sun-catching and finished with gorgeous Moroccan tiles, it is the sort of outdoor space that instantly becomes part of your lifestyle rather than merely an added feature on a floorplan.

Morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, a lazy Sunday lunch or drinks with a few favourite friends; this is a patio made for enjoying.

Step outside your front door and you are immediately immersed in one of south London's most vibrant neighbourhoods.

Bermondsey Street is less than a minute away, putting an exceptional collection of restaurants, cafés and bars almost absurdly close.

London Bridge is an approximately eight-minute stroll, while Borough Market and Maltby Street Market are also within easy walking distance.

On entering, the apartment immediately feels practical, charming and very well considered.

The kitchen, combining fitted units with attractive open shelving for a little extra character, is compact without feeling compromised and has everything you need for everyday cooking, entertaining or simply making that first coffee of the morning.

Next comes the beautifully appointed internal bathroom, where traditional styling meets modern convenience.

There is a traditional-style WC and basin alongside a modern-style bath, all brought together with smart monochrome fittings.

The over-bath shower and separate spray attachment add versatility, while the overall finish feels timeless rather than overly trend-led.

The bright, twin-windowed reception room has plenty of space to create distinct lounge and dining zones, making it a wonderfully flexible heart to the apartment.

And underfoot, engineered oak flooring adds warmth and quality, a finish that continues into the bedroom for a cohesive feel throughout the principal living spaces.

There is a particularly lovely community feel around the Square, giving this part of London an almost village-like quality while keeping you firmly connected to everything the capital has to offer.

Summer brings cool jazz festivals in the Square, while an antiques market arrives on your doorstep every Friday, adding yet more colour and character to your surroundings.

You are also wonderfully spoilt for green spaces, with pretty and well-tended parks nearby, while the River Thames and its riverside walks are close enough to become part of your everyday routine.

River boat services offer another wonderfully London way to get around. And when you fancy something a little more urban, there is an enviable selection of things to do locally.

Catch a film at Everyman, browse contemporary art at galleries such as White Cube, explore theatres and exhibitions, pick up your essentials at nearby supermarkets, or head to one of the area's gyms or yoga studios.

Third Space is a popular local choice for keeping active. Some of Bermondsey's best-known restaurants are practically part of your extended neighbourhood.

There is Murano, José, Flour & Grape, Pizarro, Casse-Croûte, Lolo and Fleurie, to name just a handful.

Whether you want an intimate dinner, exceptional wine, something relaxed and spontaneous, or a meal that becomes an occasion, you have an extraordinary amount of choice within walking distance.

This is a home for someone who wants London on their doorstep but also wants somewhere private to retreat to. Somewhere with character rather than anonymity.

Somewhere you can entertain friends outside, wander to the market on a Saturday morning, walk up to the river, meet friends for dinner without booking a taxi, and still be back home in minutes.

It is a home where the neighbourhood genuinely becomes an extension of your living space.
