Inner-city location in a very deprived area despite local regeneration
Set on the third floor of a 1950s tower block, this one-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-laid-out home in Elephant & Castle. A private balcony and direct access to Elephant & Castle tube and rail station make it practical for daily commuters and city workers.
The flat totals about 398 sq ft and has a straightforward linear layout, double glazing and gas central heating. The apartment is chain-free and presented as a renovation opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor wanting an entry into a central SE1 location with strong transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should factor in the leasehold costs: an estimated service charge of £2,961.37 pa and a modest ground rent of £10 pa. The lease length is not provided, so confirm remaining term before committing. The flat has dated interiors and will benefit from cosmetic updating to unlock full value.
This property sits in an inner-city, diverse area with plentiful shops, restaurants and local amenities. Flood risk is very low and council tax is very cheap, but the neighbourhood scores as very deprived overall — weigh local regeneration potential against immediate living conditions.
