This bright one-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor of South City Court offers a compact, comfortable home for a first-time buyer. High ceilings and an open-plan living area give a sense of space across 460 sqft, and large windows provide good natural light. The property sits close to Burgess Park and Peckham’s cafes and amenities, blending city convenience with green space.
Practical details support easy urban living: a very long lease (960 years), EPC rating C, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The layout and contemporary finishes suit someone looking to move straight in, or make modest cosmetic updates to personalise the space.
Be clear on the costs and constraints: the apartment is leasehold with an annual service charge around £3,200 and electric room heaters as the main heating source. The wider area is classed as deprived with above-average crime rates, which may be a consideration for some buyers despite nearby community facilities and good local schools.
Overall, this property is best for a buyer prioritising location, light and a long lease over low running costs. It represents an accessible entry into Peckham’s popular neighbourhood close to green space and local amenities, with straightforward potential to add value through cosmetic improvement.
