Approx 27.2 sq m (293 sq ft); no private outside space

Area has higher crime rates and local deprivation to consider
A compact one-bedroom Victorian mansion flat offered chain-free with an exceptionally long lease of 953 years. High ceilings and original sash windows give a sense of space and period character uncommon in central London studio-type homes. The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright and practical, suited to single occupancy or a pied-à-terre.
The location is a major draw: under 0.5 miles from Borough Underground and close to Elephant & Castle, with cafes, Mercato Metropolitano and parks within easy walking distance. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support remote working, while nearby schools and local amenities add practical convenience.
Practical downsides include a very small total area (around 27.2 sq m / 293 sq ft) with no outside space, and electric room heaters rather than central heating; an upgrade to heating and insulation may be required for comfort and efficiency. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. The surrounding area records higher crime rates and local deprivation, which buyers should weigh against the central location and transport links.
