Compact modern home near major transport links for urban first-time buyers.
Second-floor one-bedroom flat, modern open-plan reception and kitchen
Bright and modern, this 1-bedroom second-floor flat offers a compact, ready-to-live-in home in the heart of Elephant and Castle. The open-plan reception and contemporary kitchen create an airy living space ideal for daily life and entertaining within a 510 sqft layout. The double bedroom and sleek bathroom complete a straightforward, low-maintenance home for a first-time buyer.
Benefits include excellent transport links, plentiful local shops, cafes and university amenities nearby, and fast broadband — useful for commuters and students. The property sits in a relatively recent build (2007–2011) with double glazing and community heating, which can reduce individual maintenance responsibilities.
Buyers should note key practical points: the flat is leasehold with 109 years remaining and an above-average service charge of £4,920 per year. The immediate neighbourhood is a multicultural, inner-city area with above-average crime rates and pockets of deprivation; buyers should weigh location benefits against these factors. Overall, this is a pragmatic city base with clear commuting advantages and potential for owners seeking a straightforward urban starter home.
