Plantain Place, London, SE1

Designed by award winning architects Mary Duggan and Joe Morris, this duplex penthouse apartment perfectly exemplifies their joint practice's fluency in bright, flexible interiors that celebrate their materials in a smart, understated style.

A cobbled stone path leads up to a peaceful courtyard laid to brick, around which the former warehouse building is configured. Approximately 18 years ago the warehouse was converted into 8 niche design led apartments set within this quiet and secure, gated mews. The original structure was built in 1880 and many of the industrial features remain intact within the fabric of the building, including ceramic-faced brickwork, large sections of factory glazing and high ceilings.

The striking interior with wooden flooring is superbly presented and flooded throughout with natural light. The generous living space on the top floor has floor to ceiling double glazed windows with roof top views of London's skyline, together with a stylish white high gloss open plan kitchen. Adjacent double doors open to the private terrace also with far reaching views. On the lower floor, both bedrooms are double rooms and served by a stunning bathroom.

A highly convenient location close to the Shard, London Bridge station and Borough High Street. The apartment is also close to the fashionable and vibrant Bermondsey Street with its eclectic mix of boutiques, gastro pubs, bars, numerous restaurants and is also the home of the renowned White Cube Art Gallery. The open space of Tanner Street Park includes tennis courts. The apartment is also close to many other attractions on the doorstep including the renowned and award winning Borough Market, London's oldest food market.

The City is accessible by walking over either London Bridge or Tower Bridge. London Bridge station is very close with Northern and Jubilee Underground lines, plus Overground trains including services to Charing Cross, Cannon Street, Blackfriars, Kings Cross St Pancreas, Brighton, Bedford, Kent and East Sussex.
