This modern two-double-bedroom apartment in SE17 offers bright, well-proportioned rooms and a private balcony, all within a contemporary development completed in the mid-2000s. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from integrated appliances, wide windows and light wood flooring, creating an easy, low-fuss urban home for professionals or a first-time buyer seeking central links.
Practical points are straightforward: the flat is chain free and sits on a long lease (approx. 104 years remaining). Transport connections are excellent with multiple tube and rail links nearby, while local green spaces and a wide range of amenities on Walworth Road are within easy reach. The property’s finish and size make it suitable for immediate occupation or let-ready for investors.
Be clear about the running costs: the service charge is around £6,000pa and ground rent about £250pa, with council tax banding above average. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher energy bills. The wider area shows above-average crime rates and is a busy, inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood — good for rental demand but less quiet than suburban locations.
Overall this is a contemporary, well-presented London flat offering convenience and potential rental appeal. Buyers should factor in higher service charges, energy costs and local area characteristics when assessing affordability and long-term value. A survey and checks on lease documentation are recommended before purchase.
