This first-floor two-double-bedroom apartment offers a compact, efficient layout with bright, contemporary interiors. The open-plan living area flows from a modern fitted kitchen onto a private balcony; floor-to-ceiling glazing brings good natural light. There is built-in storage throughout and access to two communal outdoor spaces, including a fourth-floor area with city skyline views.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (around 242 years), two private balconies, and proximity to transport — Denmark Hill, Oval and Elephant & Castle stations are all within easy reach, with excellent bus connections. Local amenities, parks and reputable schools are nearby, making the flat suitable for hands-on first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking central London rental demand.
Notable costs and constraints are clear: this is a leasehold flat with an average service charge of about £2,268 and ground rent near £350 annually. The overall size is small (about 517 sq ft) and broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow. The wider area shows very high crime levels and high deprivation indices, which may affect desirability and insurance or rental prospects.
Overall, the property presents immediate move-in appeal with contemporary finishes and transport convenience, balanced by urban-area challenges and ongoing service costs. Buyers who prioritise central location, long lease security and low-maintenance finishes will find good potential here; those seeking quiet, large living spaces or faster internet should note the limitations first.
