Secure gated block with two balconies and excellent transport links to the City.
Two double bedrooms and two bathrooms including an ensuite
This bright fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment offers spacious open-plan living across about 850 sq ft, with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms including an ensuite. Large full-height windows and hardwood floors create a contemporary, airy feel while two private balconies (east and west facing) provide useful outdoor space and city views. The property is chain-free and sits within a gated development close to Elephant & Castle rail and tube links, shops and cafes — a practical choice for city professionals or first-time buyers wanting direct transport into the City and West End.
Practical details are straightforward: the lease has 143 years remaining and the apartment benefits from secure communal access. The home uses a community heating scheme and is serviced by a modern development management arrangement. The generous footprint and two balconies make it flexible for home-working, social living and long-term renting if desired.
Buyers should note the material running costs and local context. Service charges are £4,800pa (above average) and ground rent is £450pa; council tax is in Band E. The property is in an area recorded with above-average crime statistics and a higher level of deprivation locally, which may concern some purchasers. The community heating system means central heating control is communal rather than individual.
Overall, this is a well-presented, chain-free two-bedroom apartment in a secure modern block with strong transport links and versatile space. It suits professionals or first-time buyers seeking an easy-to-maintain city base, provided they factor in the higher service costs and the local area profile.
