## Description

This large south-facing, one bedroom apartment is situated on the seventh floor, and has a spacious open-plan design, a luxury shower room, storage, fitted kitchen and fitted wardrobes to the double bedroom. At over 656 square feet it is one of the larger one bedroom apartments and represents one of the best value apartments in the entire development.

On the south side of Blackfriars Bridge, One Blackfriars is one of the tallest residential developments in Europe and is already gaining recognition for what will be a truly impressive icon on the London skyline. Floor-to-ceiling windows optimise natural light, and residents have the added benefit of some of the best facilities in London including a spa, gym and swimming pool, cinema room, snow room, wine store and business suite.

One Blackfriars specification is as high as it gets with every apartment benefitting from oak and stone flooring, Miele appliances, SONOS SoundBar system, built-in touch screen control system and marble bathrooms. Moments from recently renovated Southwark Tube Station at just 0.3 mile it is just a short walk to Blackfriars, and Waterloo Station is just 0.6 mile so equally easy to access.
