It’s no small feat to create a pocket of calm and tranquility in the heart of bustling Southwark, but enter into this architectural haven made from natural materials and you'll feel the hustle and bustle of Borough's busy streets disappear. This beautifully restored Grade II listed Victorian building is now a stylish one-bedroom apartment that blends stripped-back simplicity with modern comfort. Cleverly designed with space in mind, the home benefits from high vaulted ceilings, rustic ceiling rails and an exposed marble wall to create a bright living space that exudes artistic character. Minimalist furnishings, neutral tones of black, white, and moody orange, low-hanging light shades, plus a stunning electric fireplace feature lend the space a warm ambience, great for kicking back after a day of exploring the city’s sights. Centrally located, you’re within walking distance of London’s financial district as well as the Shard, while being two minutes from an underground station, granting you access to the whole city. Take time to explore locally too, and discover Borough’s famous market, quirky shops, restaurants and bars right on your doorstep.
