Description
Set on the 33rd floor of the coveted One Blackfriars development on the banks of the Thames, this two-bedroom apartment with home office is defined by its expansive living spaces, exceptional views, convenient location and contemporary finish. One Blackfriars is an architectural marvel designed by the renowned British architect Ian Simpson of Simpson Haugh and Partners. The stunning tower, inspired by the Lansetti II vase by Finnish artist Timo Sarpaneva, features curved geometry and a transparent glass surface and has become a landmark on London's South Bank, an area rich in cultural heritage and artistic influence. Internally, the apartment has a large open-plan reception, dining area and well-equipped kitchen with silk grey high-gloss lacquer cabinetry, Miele appliances and worktops/splashback of quartz. Marble floors run underfoot and floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of the London skyline and the Thames below. Both ensuite bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and fitted carpets, TVs and ensuite bathrooms with marble tiled floors and walk-in showers. A third shower room/guest WC and a well-equipped utility room complete the plan, while a wraparound skywalk with a private sky garden surrounds the apartment and can be accessed from all rooms in the apartment. The third bedroom is currently configured as a home office but can be easily re-purposed. One Blackfriars has a 24-hour concierge service including valet car parking. There is a 32nd-floor viewing lounge and meeting room that can be booked for private events, a private cinema, a wine-tasting room, and a golf simulator. The wellness facilities include a 20-metre swimming pool, a thermal suite and a state-of-the-art gym. Strategically located for convenient access across London and beyond, One Blackfriars is near Gatwick, Heathrow, and City Airport, with St Pancras International giving easy access to Europe.
