Summary - 547 OLD KENT ROAD, LONDON SE1 5EW
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright two-bedroom conversion near Bermondsey transport and parks.
36ft private garden, rare for SE1
A bright, well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor conversion offering 681 sq ft of living space and a rare 36ft private garden in central SE1. The apartment combines period character with contemporary finishes: a 17ft reception with French doors, a separate modern kitchen and substantial fitted hallway storage. Both bedrooms are generous doubles, and the bathroom is finished in a clean, contemporary style.
Practical benefits include a very long underlying lease (988 years), share of freehold, double-glazed sash windows, gas central heating and an unusually low annual service charge of £700. The flat’s private entrance and garden make it especially appealing to first-time buyers wanting outside space, cooks who prefer a separate kitchen, or purchasers looking to rent a room.
Buyers should note a few material facts: the building has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so some upgrading may be desirable for improved thermal performance. The property is on the ground floor in an inner-city location with comparatively high local crime statistics, which may concern those prioritising privacy and security.
Positioned close to parks, shops and plentiful public transport links (South Bermondsey, Bermondsey, Elephant & Castle reachable by foot, bus and bike), this flat offers immediate convenience and good rental potential in a lively SE1 neighbourhood. Overall, it’s a practical, well-sized conversion with outdoor space and long-term tenure security, suited to buyers who value location and a ready-to-live-in interior but who may want to plan modest improvements over time.
