Compact, well-connected city flat ideal for first-time buyers or small households.
First-floor one-bedroom flat, compact 366 sq ft
Set on the first floor of a 1930s mid-terrace, this compact one-bedroom flat offers a useful layout for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The living room has period features and a large window, while the separate kitchen and sleek bathroom keep living spaces distinct. At 366 sq ft the apartment is small but efficiently arranged for modern city living.
Located on South Lambeth Road, the flat sits in a lively, well-connected stretch close to shops, bars and restaurants, with Nine Elms Underground moments away. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are excellent, supporting home working and streaming. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, which is a plus for young families.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,500 and a ground rent of £250. The building dates from 1930–49 and walls are likely uninsulated, so heating costs could be higher than newer builds. Crime statistics for the area are high and the surrounding ward is relatively deprived—factors to weigh when assessing resale or rental prospects.
For buyers willing to improve finishes or add insulation, there is potential to increase comfort and energy efficiency. Given the compact size and service costs, the flat is best suited to someone prioritising location and transport links over generous internal space.
