This bright one-bedroom apartment in Hambling Court offers modern, efficient living opposite Burgess Park — ideal for a first-time buyer or couple seeking a well-connected city base. The open-plan ‘L’ shaped reception, floor-to-ceiling windows and private balcony give a light, airy feel and usable living space across approximately 551 sq ft.
The kitchen is contemporary with built-in appliances and dark worktops; the double bedroom and hallway storage are practical for everyday use. The building has a lift, communal gardens and direct access to buses on Camberwell Road, connecting quickly to Elephant & Castle (Northern and Bakerloo lines) and wider central London.
Costs and tenure are important here: the flat is leasehold with 115 years remaining, ground rent currently £300 pa (review period: doubling every 25 years) and a service charge of £2,377.56 pa. Heating is provided by a district/community scheme and is charged via the service arrangements. On-street parking only and no allocated space.
The location offers strong lifestyle benefits — Burgess Park on the doorstep, nearby independent restaurants, galleries and good schools — but buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, the ground rent review mechanism, and leasehold restrictions when assessing long-term costs and plans.
