Light-filled and practical, this second-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a contemporary open-plan living space and a private balcony in a secure gated development. The layout suits first-time buyers seeking move-in-ready accommodation with clear living zones and a modern fitted kitchen. Both bedrooms are doubles, and the flat totals about 758 sq ft — larger than many local two-beds.
The building benefits from gated parking and good transport links from Elephant and Castle, putting central London within easy reach. Nearby schools have Good Ofsted ratings and local amenities are abundant, from supermarkets and cafés to restaurants and services. The long lease (142 years) provides tenure security.
Be aware of ongoing costs and location context: the annual service charge is around £3,948 and heating is provided via a community scheme rather than an individual boiler. The immediate area scores as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, so buyers should consider personal security and budget for communal charges when comparing nearby options.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-presented apartment for a buyer wanting contemporary finishes, outside space and strong transport links — provided you’re comfortable with higher service charges and an inner-city neighbourhood profile.
