This wonderful two-bedroom loft apartment extends to approx. 1,260 square feet in the popular Bankside Lofts development, designed by the preeminent architect Piers Gough. Situated on the sixth floor of Bankside lofts the apartment retains all the hallmarks of postmodern minimalist living, from the striking Crittall windows to the clean architectural lines. The building is within walking distance from some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including the Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe and Borough Market, and all the South Bank has to offer.

The entrance is on the sixth floor, as you enter into a hallway, to the right lies the living accommodation, whilst to the left lies the bedrooms and bathrooms. We begin on the right with an exceptionally bright, predominantly open plan living space and kitchen with access to a private terrace. Crittall windows span the width and height of the wall, with views of the Tate Modern opposite and City of London. The apartments has also been recently fitted with electric heating which is easy to use and very low maintenance.

A minimalist, fully fitted kitchen lies at the corner of the apartment with dining space, creating an excellent vantage point for cooking and with its open plan feel entertaining as it looks out onto the reception area.

At the opposite end of the apartment is the main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. There is also a good sized second bedroom on this floor with built in wardrobes and on the opposite side of the hallway there is a family bathroom, a utility room and guest WC room.

The apartment also has its own private terrace which benefits from views to the north (with oblique views of the river Thames), south and east. Separate to this, the apartment overlooks a spacious communal roof terrace, which is situated on the first floor with its beautifully planted Japanese trees.

Positioned on the site of a former Victorian cocoa warehouse, the building comprises a striking yellow ochre tower, predominantly glass-fronted, framing uninterrupted views towards the Tate Modern and South Bank. Unusually, each apartment within the building is designed to be completely unique. There are also two fully serviced lifts on the ground floor and good sized gym in in the basement. Bankside Lofts also has a spectacular communal reception area, executed mainly in futuristic stainless steel with 24-hour porterage.

Occupying a sought-after location on the South Bank next to the River Thames and Tate Modern, with its exceptional new wing, is directly opposite. Borough Market and the bars and restaurants of the South Bank, as well as the Hayward Gallery and the National Theatre, are all on the doorstep. There is a particularly good arts bookshop at the base of the building and various private art galleries nearby. A number of good food and coffee outlets have recently opened up in the Blue Fin Building, only a short walk away. The City can also be reached on foot via the Millennium Bridge.

The closest Underground stations are Blackfriars (District and Circle Line) and Southwark (Jubilee Line). London Bridge (Northern and Jubilee) and Waterloo (Jubilee, Northern and Bakerloo Lines), which also offer mainline rail services to the south of England, are within walking distance. Blackfriars Thameslink entrance is only a minutes' walk from the apartment and runs direct lines to Farringdon in approximately 5-10 minutes and Gatwick airport in 35 minutes.
