1 bed flat for sale

Knoll Rise, Kent BR6

There are apartments... And then there are penthouses.

Finding a modern penthouse with genuine outside space isn't easy. Finding one like this is even harder.

Penthouse Apartment | 23ft Private Terrace | Full-Width Bi-Fold Doors | Lift Access | Gated Allocated Parking | Approximately 15 Minutes to London Bridge | Vacant Possession

Completed in 2020, this exceptional one-bedroom penthouse occupies one of the most desirable positions within the highly regarded Berwick House development. Offering approximately 602 sq ft of beautifully designed accommodation, a remarkable 23ft private terrace and full-width bi-fold doors from both the living space and bedroom, it delivers the sort of indoor-outdoor lifestyle that's exceptionally difficult to find.

Step inside and you'll immediately understand why the current owners fell in love with this home.

Natural light pours through the full-width bi-fold doors, creating a wonderfully calm and uplifting living space. There is a quiet confidence about this apartment. Nothing feels overdone, yet every detail has been carefully considered to make everyday living feel both stylish and effortless.

Then you open the doors...

Stretching almost the full width of both the living area and bedroom is an exceptional 23ft private terrace that completely transforms how this home is enjoyed.

This isn't simply outside space.

It's another living room.

Morning coffee in the sunshine.

Working from home in the fresh air.

Dinner with friends on a warm summer evening.

Or simply watching the sun disappear beyond the rooftops with a glass of wine at the end of the day.

It's the sort of space you'll find yourself using far more than you ever expected.

Inside, the contemporary open-plan kitchen and reception room have been thoughtfully designed for modern living, balancing practicality with style. Clever storage has been incorporated throughout, from the generous entrance cupboard to the fitted wardrobes, ensuring everything has its place without compromising the apartment's clean, contemporary feel.

The bedroom continues the connection with the outdoors, opening directly onto the terrace through its own full-width bi-fold doors and enjoying the warm afternoon and evening sunshine that fills the apartment throughout the day.

Whilst wonderfully bright during the summer months, the apartment is equally impressive in winter. Excellent insulation, together with the integrated ventilation system, creates a home that is warm, peaceful and remarkably economical to run-one of those qualities buyers only truly appreciate once they're living here.

Perhaps the biggest surprise... Is the silence.

Despite being just moments from Orpington High Street, visitors consistently comment on just how peaceful the apartment feels. Berwick House has earned a reputation for being exceptionally quiet, secure and welcoming, with many residents remaining since the development was completed, creating the sort of settled community that's increasingly difficult to find.

Life here extends far beyond your own front door.

Start the day with coffee at Second Home.

Meet friends for brunch at pato Lounge.

Enjoy dinner and live music at gpo.

Explore High Elms Country Park, Goddington Park or Darrick Wood.

Or simply leave the car behind and take advantage of Orpington Station's excellent direct services into London Bridge, Cannon Street, Charing Cross and Victoria in around 15 minutes.

It's a location that effortlessly balances London connectivity with a far more relaxed pace of life.

Offered with vacant possession, the apartment presents an outstanding opportunity for first-time buyers, professionals, downsizers and investors alike.

When I asked the current owners to describe living here in just three words, they didn't hesitate.

Bright. Peaceful. Effortless.

After spending time here...

You may well find yourself choosing exactly the same three.
