Lift-access two-bedroom with open-plan living and excellent transport links.
First-floor two-bedroom with private balcony and city views
Set on the first floor of a secure, modern development, this two-bedroom apartment offers a straightforward step onto the property ladder. The open-plan living space flows to a private balcony with city views, and the main bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe for practical storage. At around 647 sq ft the layout feels well proportioned, with additional hallway storage and a single spacious bathroom.
Practical details suit busy buyers: lift access, double glazing and a long lease (109 years) reduce near-term ownership uncertainty. The property is offered at an accessible price point for SE1 and sits close to shops, buses and multiple primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding.
Be realistic about some drawbacks: the property is leasehold, broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and local crime rates and deprivation are high. Heating is provided by a community mains-gas scheme, and the apartment will suit buyers who prioritise location and space over rural calm or fast internet.
For a first-time buyer seeking a well-presented, move-in-ready home with outdoor space and straightforward access to central London, this flat provides immediate liveability and future resale potential in a changing neighbourhood.
