1 bed flat for sale

Pages Walk, London SE1

Set within a stunning former Victorian school house within the very heart of SE1 is this striking and rather unique, one bedroom, period conversion. Set back from Pages Walk, boasting one of SE1’s most enviable addresses, this premier apartment sits within delightful, gated, communal grounds. Boasting an abundance of character, sympathetically designed, and set across two floors this 397 sq ft apartment is a real joy and a genuine rarity to the market.

On entering, a small hallway leads to the mightily impressive, double height, 14ft reception room. Rich in character, brickwork, exposed wood flooring and steel beams pay homage to the buildings rich and colourful past and will appeal to those looking for a property with a story to tell. Enjoying a Westerly aspect, double height windows bathe the room in natural light really enhancing the sense of calm and quality. Doors open to a delightful private patio offering the rarity of direct access to outside space. A lovely deck that is both substantial and wonderfully secluded. The 8ft kitchen will certainly appeal to those looking for a separation from the main reception. Also on this level is the well-presented and practical family bathroom. Back in the main reception a contemporary staircase takes you up to a large mezzanine level bedroom. A great space that offers ample room including space for storage and an office area should you wish. Further benefits include, a healthy lease, secure entry, allocated parking, landscaped communal grounds and a long-standing on-site caretaker.

The School House boasts an interesting past, closely connected to Bermondsey and its community, charmingly represented in the many old school photographs that adorn the communal entrance and hallways. This imposing gated development is extremely well managed and maintained with a real sense of community and care. The local area has a plethora of transport options and is in a fantastic location for bus routes with direct buses to the City, Waterloo, Westminster, the West End and King’s Cross. If the tube is more of a preference, London Bridge, Borough, and the Elephant & Castle are all within a short walking distance. Other benefits include the ever-popular Bermondsey Street with its bars, restaurants, boutiques and galleries and the coffee shops and cafes of lower Tower Bridge Road. Bermondsey Square houses an excellent art house cinema while the foods markets of Maltby Street and Borough are nearby.
