New-build studio with balcony and concierge in Elephant & Castle, ideal for first-time buyers.
423 sq ft studio with private balcony and large windows
A brand-new studio in Hurlock Heights offers compact, contemporary living in the heart of Elephant & Castle. The open-plan layout and large windows maximise natural light, while a private balcony gives a small outdoor space and city views. High-quality integrated Bosch appliances and a sleek bathroom complete a low-maintenance home ready to move into.
Residents benefit from substantial on-site amenities: 24-hour concierge, a private gym, residents’ lounges, two communal grow gardens, extensive secure cycle storage and an early-residents car-club scheme. Positioned on the first floor and close to multiple transport links, the flat is well suited to someone who values convenience, communal facilities and low domestic upkeep.
Be clear about the compromises: this is a 423 sq ft studio — compact living suited to one person or a couple. The property is leasehold (999 years) with a ground rent noted at £300 and communal heating run via a community scheme. The surrounding area is an inner-city, very deprived ward with average crime statistics, so buyers should weigh local social and economic context alongside the apartment’s conveniences.
This apartment will appeal to first-time buyers and city professionals seeking a ready-made, low-maintenance base near central London transport. It also has straightforward rental potential for investors drawn to the location and on-site services, but purchasers should factor in ground rent and the community heating arrangement when assessing running costs.
