Summary - 28 ATHENLAY ROAD LONDON SE15 3EL
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact two-bedroom home with garden and a long new lease.
Private rear garden with direct access from kitchen
A well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette with its own front door and a private rear garden, ideal for first-time buyers seeking a manageable London home. The layout is straightforward: a generous reception room, two double bedrooms and a separate kitchen that opens onto the garden. At about 575 sq ft the accommodation is compact but practical, with parquet flooring and double glazing adding immediate appeal.
The property has a brand new lease with 176 years remaining, low ground rent (£10) and an annual service charge of £1,413. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed after 2002. The home sits on a residential street close to Nunhead and Peckham Rye stations, with excellent Zone 2 rail and Overground connections and several highly rated primary and secondary schools nearby.
Buyers should note the overall size is modest — rooms are well-proportioned but the total floor area is small for a two-bedroom flat. The building’s cavity walls are listed as having no insulation (assumed), which may mean future works to improve energy efficiency. Council tax is cheap and flood risk is low.
For first-time buyers this maisonette offers an accessible entry into SE15 with outside space and a straightforward plan that could be personalised over time. Investors will find steady rental demand in the area, but the modest internal size and service charge should be factored into yield calculations.
