Dockley Road, London, SE16

A rare south-east facing two-bedroom “Terrace Suite” with a 24 sq m (258 sq ft) private roof terrace, set on the fifth floor of an award-winning, design-led development in the heart of Bermondsey. Key features include: 24 sq m private terrace, south-east aspect with all-day sun, floor-to-ceiling double glazing throughout, triple aspect, excellent natural ventilation and outstanding thermal efficiency. The apartment is one of only a handful of terrace suites in the building, distinguished by an unusually large and beautifully private roof terrace of approximately 24 sq m (258 sq ft), bringing the total usable space to around 110 sq m (1,184 sq ft), with internal accommodation of approximately 88 sq m (947 sq ft). Partially covered and framed by six mature olive trees, the terrace has been designed as an extension of the living space, ideal for dining, relaxing and entertaining, and benefiting from a south-east facing aspect with direct sunlight throughout the day and far-reaching views over South London. Inside, the interior space is defined by exceptional natural light and generous proportions. Extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing spans the principal rooms, creating a dramatic sense of openness and a seamless connection between inside and out. The triple-aspect living space and principal bedroom are south-east facing, ensuring sun from early morning through the afternoon. A further defining feature is the apartment’s excellent natural ventilation and thermal performance. In warmer months, the floor-to-ceiling windows and terrace doors can be opened together to create a through-draught, allowing the apartment to cool naturally. In winter, the high-quality double glazing and exceptionally well-insulated building envelope ensure heat is retained extremely efficiently; the apartment remains notably warm even with the underfloor heating turned off. Despite its central location, the apartment is also notably quiet when closed, with excellent acoustic insulation. The open-plan kitchen is fully fitted with integrated SMEG appliances, underfloor heating runs throughout, and storage is generous, including a dedicated utility/laundry cupboard. Both bedrooms are generous doubles. The principal suite benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is served by a stylish family bathroom with bath and shower above. The interiors combine restored antiques and contemporary pieces, layered with bespoke, ceiling-to-floor Gotain curtains imported from Sweden, creating a calm, warm and characterful home that feels elegant yet highly liveable.
