Great starter home near Burgess Park and strong transport links for city commuters.
646 sq ft — larger-than-average one-bedroom layout
Set on the ground floor of a 1940s red-brick ex‑council building, this 646 sq ft apartment offers genuine space for a central Camberwell home. The reception room feels roomy with wood-effect flooring and neutral décor; the kitchen and bathroom are modern and well fitted. The property includes an unofficial area of outside space and communal controlled off‑street parking.
Practical features include a long 115‑year lease, very low ground rent (£10 pa) and double glazing. Transport links are strong: multiple bus routes, Oval and Denmark Hill stations are within easy reach, and Burgess Park is 0.2 miles away for outdoor recreation. Local shops, cafes and cultural venues are close by.
Notable considerations: the building is served by a communal heating scheme and there is no lift, which may matter for mobility or long‑term running costs. The annual service charge is relatively high at £2,922.60, and the block is a mid‑terrace solid brick construction with assumed lack of cavity insulation. The outside space is unofficial, so it has limited legal protection.
This home will suit a first‑time buyer or investor seeking a larger‑than‑average one‑bed in a well‑connected, evolving neighbourhood. It’s ready to live in as presented, with scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
