Spacious period duplex near Burgess Park, ideal for first-time buyers..
- Large reception room with high ceilings and fireplace
This stylish 3-bedroom maisonette occupies the 2nd and 3rd floors of a handsome period building, offering generous living space across two levels. The large reception room with high ceilings and a separate kitchen create a comfortable everyday layout, while three double bedrooms provide flexibility for families, sharers or home-working. Burgess Park is on the doorstep and Walworth Road’s shops and cafés are moments away, giving easy access to green space and local amenities.
The property benefits from double glazing installed since 2002, mains gas central heating and a share of freehold — practical advantages for long-term owners. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, suiting modern commuting and streaming needs. At c.871 sq ft this maisonette sits in the mid-size range for a London three-bed and combines period character with modern touches.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the building’s solid brick construction likely has no cavity insulation, so retrofit works may be needed to improve energy efficiency. There is one main bathroom plus a separate WC and shower room layout, which can be convenient but may feel limited for three bedrooms. The immediate area records higher crime levels and is classed as deprived, so some buyers will want to review local safety and community measures.
Overall, this duplex is a sensible option for first-time buyers or young families seeking space and character close to central London green space, with straightforward improvement potential (insulation, cosmetic updates) to add value over time.
