Manciple Street, London, SE1

The property is in SE1 & is a short walk from London Bridge station & you can cut through the side roads past Guy’s Hospital or take a slightly longer walk up Borough High Street & drop in on Borough Market on the way.

The property is situated on the first floor of a purpose built block, and benefits from entrance hallway, generous storage, reception room, kitchen/dining room, bedroom and bathroom.

Potential to Highlight - the current owner was attracted to this property as it had a larger kitchen/dining room than the other similar properties they saw with a slim galley kitchen. They had a verbal “nod” that the kitchen could be converted into a second bedroom if a kitchen area was created in the reception room. Due to a change in personal circumstances the owner now needs to offload the property, but thought the potential worth relaying - obviously subject to the necessary planning approval etc.

Lease length - 102 years remaining of an original 125 year lease dated 15th Oct 2001 (evidenced via a copy of the lease).
Ground rent - 10 years per annum (evidenced via a copy of the lease)
Service charge - estimated at £1200 per annum - we are mid verifying this figure.
Recent works - re-wire, replacement gas pipes and boiler service. Please seek independent verification.

An obvious thing to point out is that you have London Bridge station close by, giving you access to the Jubilee line & Northern Line (bank branch), then Southern, Southeaster & Thameslink across 15 platforms in most directions across and out of London.. You also have London buses from the station on routes 17,43,141 & 388.

You can’t get much more central, with the Thames walk nearby and the opportunity to explore many of London’s famous landmarks without traveling far from your own doorstep.

If you’re heading for a quick drink after your viewing to digest your thoughts, we recommend The George Inn off Borough High Street - London’s sole surviving galleried coaching inn. It has a history dating back to 1583 with past patrons including Shakespear himself, but the courtyard is amazing for a G&T on a sunny day in the shadow of the Shard.

For local food, you can’t beat Borough Market - also walking distance from the property. With a history dating back nearly 1000 years, and over 100 diverse stalls, stands, restaurants, bars, and shops, Borough Market offers an unparalleled culinary experience. A favourite at the weekend is “Roast” restaurant that sits above the market, which - as the name suggests - serves an amazing Sunday roast, followed by a wander over to “Humble Crumble” in the food market.

The property has been thoughtfully refurbished, though a few small DIY finishing touches remain for the prospective buyer. Additionally, there was a historic issue with damp in one area, which has been fully addressed in collaboration with the management company. The affected area is still in the process of drying out, so some discolouration in the paintwork may be visible during viewings.
