This bright two-bedroom flat on Longfield Estate offers flexible living across two separate receptions and a private balcony — ideal for first-time buyers seeking space to entertain and relax. The property benefits from a new fitted kitchen, lift access and large windows that bring natural light into well-proportioned rooms. At around 677 sq ft, the layout feels comfortable rather than cramped.
Practical running costs are clear: a 107-year lease remains, annual service charge of £2,760 and a nominal ground rent of £10. Council Tax band B keeps outgoings relatively low. Transport links are strong with Bermondsey Underground and South Bermondsey station nearby, plus plentiful local cafés, markets and amenities for everyday convenience.
Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the block is mid-century in style. The fabric likely has cavity walls with no added insulation and the double glazing installation date is unknown; buyers should budget for potential thermal or upgrade works (insulation, window replacement or heating improvements) if desired. The area is classified as deprived, so buyers should weigh local socio-economic context alongside the property’s positives.
Overall this is a well-presented, practical two-bed apartment that suits a first-time buyer wanting transport access, flexible living space and a ready-to-move-in kitchen, while being realistic about medium-term maintenance and improvement costs.
