Bankside Lofts, 65 Hopton Street, London SE1

Bankside Lofts, a collaboration between architect Piers Gough and the Manhattan Loft Corporation, was designed and completed between 1995 and 1998. Each apartment within the building is uniquely designed, setting it apart from traditional developments. The iconic building stands on the site of a former Victorian cocoa warehouse, boasting a striking yellow ochre tower with predominantly glass-fronted exteriors.

Upon entering the apartment, you'll be greeted by double-height ceilings and an exceptionally bright open-plan kitchen and living space, with vast Crittall windows spanning the rear wall, offering picturesque views of a green square and Tate Modern. The minimalist kitchen is complemented by a cleverly positioned island which subtly separates the kitchen from the living and dining area – a perfect place to entertain friends.

A limestone-tiled staircase with a steel balustrade leads to the mezzanine, housing the bedroom with a spacious walk-in wardrobe. The second room upstairs can be used as a separate office. The modern shower room exudes a bright and welcoming ambiance.

Amenities include a fully serviced lift, a 24-hour porterage, 24-hour CCTV, a residents' gym and a communal roof terrace adorned with Japanese Maple trees and plenty of tables and chairs. An underground parking space is available by separate negotiation.

Bankside Lofts boasts a coveted location on the South Bank, adjacent to the River Thames and Tate Modern. The vibrant neighbourhood is home to the world-renowned Borough Market and the many bars and restaurants along the South Bank as well as the illustrious cultural landmarks such as Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, the National Theatre, the Southbank Centre and Hayward Gallery.

Transport options are excellent, with nearby underground stations including Blackfriars (District and Circle Line) and Southwark (Jubilee Line). London Bridge (Northern and Jubilee) and Waterloo (Jubilee, Northern, and Bakerloo Lines), both offering mainline rail services to the south of England, are within walking distance. The Blackfriars Thameslink entrance, just a minute's walk from the apartment, provides direct lines to Farringdon in approximately 5-10 minutes and Gatwick airport in 35 minutes. The City is easily reachable on foot via the Millennium Bridge.
