Spacious central home with balcony and storage.
Large reception room with abundant natural light
This duplex three-bedroom flat on John Ruskin Street occupies the 2nd and 3rd floors and offers a large reception room, separate kitchen-diner and a generous main bedroom. A long balcony with storage adds outdoor space and practical storage; the apartment totals about 832 sqft, suited to families or sharers who need room and a clear layout.
The location is a strong practical draw: moments from Walworth Road’s shops, bars and restaurants, with several highly rated primary and secondary schools nearby, plus excellent mobile and fast broadband. Low local crime and very low flood risk give added peace of mind in this inner-city setting.
Important practical notes: the flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining, and an above-average service charge of £4,020 pa. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme and the building dates from the late 1960s–1970s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated — budget for energy and fabric improvements if you plan longer-term ownership.
Good potential for buyers seeking space and location in SE5: move-in ready interiors with mid-century and contemporary features, but consider the service costs, lease length and possible insulation/energy upgrades before committing.
