This one-bedroom fourth-floor apartment in South City Court offers 460 sq ft of bright, well-proportioned living with high ceilings and open-plan layout. The flat comes with a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and lift access from a well-maintained communal hallway — ready to move into or rent out immediately.
Located close to Camberwell’s cafés, bakeries and weekly farmers’ market, the property benefits from strong local amenities and green space: Burgess Park is a five-minute walk, and Ruskin Park and Peckham Rye are also nearby. Transport links are good for south London — Denmark Hill station and numerous bus routes provide direct connections to central London and interchange stations.
Financially the apartment appeals to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. Projected rent is around £1,700pcm, and the flat has a very long lease of approximately 960 years. However, buyers should factor in an annual service charge of about £3,200 and ground rent of about £250 per year, which affect net yield and ongoing costs.
Be candid about local context: the area has above-average crime statistics and a higher level of deprivation than surrounding boroughs, which may influence resale or tenancy profiles. Overall, this is a practical, modern urban flat offering strong location benefits and long-term security from the lease length, best suited to buyers seeking a manageable central-London home or an income-producing investment.
