Higher local crime and area deprivation — factor for buyers
Set within a modern development close to Burgess Park, this bright, south-facing two-bedroom apartment offers an easy, low-maintenance city home. The generous open-plan reception and full-height windows flood the living space with light and lead to a large private balcony overlooking the communal square gardens — ideal for morning coffee or entertaining.
The apartment includes two bathrooms, built-in storage and a practical layout across one floor, making it suitable for professionals, couples or first-time buyers wanting more space than a one-bedroom. The 765 sq ft internal area provides comfortable bedroom sizes and a clearly defined living-dining zone.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 114 years remaining, an above-average service charge (£4,198pa) and a ground rent (£300pa). Private allocated parking is available but sold separately. Heating is via a community scheme and the wider area records higher crime levels and local deprivation — factors to consider for long-term value and day-to-day living.
Transport links are strong: Elephant & Castle station (Northern and Bakerloo lines) and Thameslink are nearby, plus numerous bus routes into the City. Average broadband and excellent mobile signal support remote working. Overall this is a well-presented modern apartment that trades urban convenience and outdoor balcony space against higher running costs and local area challenges.
