Second-floor flat near park, ideal for first-time buyers seeking period charm.
Large reception room and separate kitchen
A well-arranged 2-bedroom flat on the 2nd floor of a 1930s mansion block, moments from Peckham Rye Park and local shops. The apartment offers a large reception room, two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen and a sleek bathroom across an average-sized 716 sq ft layout — practical living for first-time buyers or couples.
Practical details enhance appeal: a long lease (106 years remaining), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing already installed (pre-2002), and no flood risk. The building’s period brick exterior and nearby green space give a calm, leafy feel despite the inner-city location.
Notable negatives are factual and helpful for planning: broadband speeds are slow, the building’s walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, and some glazing is older. Ground rent is £300 (average). These points suggest modest upgrade or modernisation work could add value and comfort.
Location is the flat’s strongest asset — easy access to Peckham Rye Park, Lordship Lane amenities, good bus links and nearby stations for central London commutes. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within reach, including outstanding academy options, making this suitable for commuters and young families considering local school choices.
