Occupying 613 sq ft in a well-connected Champion Hill block, this two-double-bedroom flat is a bright first-home with practical features. The living room opens onto a private balcony overlooking green communal gardens, creating a calm spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Two good-sized double bedrooms and a compact modern kitchen make the layout straightforward for daily life and remote working.
Practical details suit buyers seeking long-term security: the lease runs approximately 110 years, service charge is £1,950 per year and ground rent is £10. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators, double glazing was installed after 2002, and broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for home-working and streaming.
Location is a key strength. Denmark Hill and East Dulwich stations are both about 0.3 miles away, providing quick links into central London. Local amenities — shops, cafés, parks and good primary and secondary schools — are close by, making the location particularly attractive for first-time buyers and young couples.
The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and walls are likely uninsulated, so there is potential to improve thermal efficiency and reduce bills. The property is presented in modern condition but is modest in overall size; buyers should note there is a single bathroom and communal service costs. For buyers prioritising location, transport and a ready-to-live-in two-bedroom layout, this flat is a sensible, well-located option.
