Ideal first-home near central transport links and local amenities.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment, c.634 sq ft spacious layout
Period building with high ceilings and original character features
Separate kitchen and dining room; flexible living and entertaining space
Leasehold with approximately 88 years remaining
Low ground rent (about £10) but lease length is a key consideration
Electric room heaters; no central heating and likely poor insulation
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; very low flood risk
Inner-city location in a very deprived area; average local crime levels
Set on the second floor of a handsome early 20th-century building, this one-bedroom apartment offers generously proportioned rooms across c.634 sq ft. The reception room benefits from tall windows and period features, while a separate kitchen and dining room give flexible living and entertaining space.
Practical details suit buyers who prioritise location and space: excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, very low flood risk, and direct access to Elephant and Castle’s shops, eateries and transport hubs. The flat’s solid brick construction and high ceilings lend character and scope for sympathetic updating.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold with about 88 years remaining and a modest ground rent (c.£10). Heating is electric via room heaters and the building likely lacks cavity wall insulation, so energy efficiency improvements may be needed. The surrounding area is an inner-city, very deprived ward with average crime statistics.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers and investors seeking a spacious period apartment in a central location, or to buyers prepared to carry out modest refurbishment to improve comfort and running costs.
