Summary - AVINGTON COURT FLAT 27 OLD KENT ROAD LONDON SE1 5NF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-sized first home with excellent transport links and long lease.
Large 969 sq ft split-level two-bedroom apartment
Avington Court Flat 27 is a larger-than-average two-bedroom split-level apartment set on a quiet side street off Old Kent Road. The property offers a separate fitted kitchen, a 15 ft lounge, two double bedrooms, ample storage and double-glazed windows. With 969 sq ft of accommodation and gas central heating, it feels roomy for a first home or shared living.
Transport links are a major advantage: walking distance to Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo, National Rail), Borough High Street and London Bridge stations, giving fast access to the City, West End and Canary Wharf. The long lease (144 years) and a service charge of £1,633 pa make ownership straightforward for buyers seeking security without immediate lease-extension costs.
This flat suits first-time buyers wanting space and connectivity who are comfortable living in an inner-city, undergoing area. There is clear investment potential — the property could achieve rent in excess of £500 per week — but note the neighbourhood has higher crime levels and is classified as deprived, which may affect resale and rental desirability for some purchasers.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are average, and communal maintenance is covered by the service charge. The apartment is well presented, but buyers wanting quieter or more suburban surroundings should note the inner-city cosmopolitan character and street-level activity nearby.
