This well-proportioned 3-bedroom duplex offers generous living space across two floors, arranged around a large reception room and a separate modern kitchen. At about 1,003 sq ft, the layout gives family-sized bedrooms and clear separation between living and sleeping areas — useful for home-working or family life.
The flat sits in the heart of Elephant and Castle with fast transport links, abundant local amenities and several nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding. The neighbourhood provides cafes, shops, restaurants and cycle hire close at hand, making everyday life convenient for families.
Important practical points: the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and appears to be a system-built form with no wall insulation noted, so energy-efficiency upgrades may be needed. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme and the property is leasehold. The wider area experiences high crime levels and high deprivation, which buyers should weigh against the site’s transport and amenity benefits.
For buyers willing to invest in retrofit and cosmetic updating, the duplex provides solid space and location upside. Families seeking good local schools and urban convenience will appreciate the layout and nearby services, while investors should note the leasehold tenure and community heating arrangement when calculating returns.
