Spacious duplex with balcony and easy commuter links.
Chain free three-bedroom duplex, c.882 sqft
This chain-free three-bedroom duplex apartment in SE17 offers practical space and clear commuter advantages. At around 882 sq ft the layout places an open-plan lounge/diner and fitted kitchen on the upper level with a large private balcony; three bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate W.C. sit on the lower level. The lease has c.91 years remaining, service charge currently £1,920.13 (includes heating and hot water) and ground rent reported at £10.
The flat suits first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors or a young family seeking good transport links — Elephant & Castle station is nearby with direct routes to Waterloo and central London. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local primary and secondary schools include several rated Good or Outstanding. Permit/ off-street parking and communal grounds add practical convenience in an inner-city setting.
Buyers should note notable challenges: the neighbourhood records very high crime and the wider area is assessed as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand. The balcony and some external elements show wear and may need maintenance. The property is leasehold so buyers must factor remaining term, service charge and ground rent into affordability and mortgage/solicitor checks.
