A newly completed three-bedroom property is currently up for grabs in the Bermondsey district in London. Resting at the end of Balaclava Road on what was once an old garage site, the striking contemporary was designed and built earlier this year by local firm Satish Jassal Architects.

Known as the Southwark Brick House, the 1,800-square-foot home spans across three levels and is configured in two wings: public and private. A handcrafted staircase with open-tread glass connects the various spaces, while serving as a central focal point that anchors the interior.

Throughout the space, timeless materials including brick, oak, steel, and concrete mingle, creating seamless relationships between inside and out. Private terraces and a lush courtyard garden further encourage indoor/outdoor living.

The home’s three bedrooms are located on the ground floor, while the primary living areas await on the second level. Solid oak floorboards run underfoot in the kitchen—a space fitted with bespoke storage, integrated appliances, and black composite worktops.

According to listing agency The Modern House, the home’s top floor “is arguably the most impressive space” of the property. Designed as a flexible, open-plan area, the upper level boasts an exposed concrete ceiling which frames a “wonderfully intricate series of interlocking oak panels.” Though the current owner uses the space as a lounge and study, the floor can also be converted into an additional bedroom or guest suite.

In addition to being located near many of London’s most popular cultural hotspots—including the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre—the home is also just a short walk from the Borough Market. Scroll ahead to see more of the property, currently listed for £1,500,000.

Balaclava Road in London (SE1), England, is currently listed for £1,500,000 (approximately $2,083,125 USD) by The Modern House.
