Summary - 74 Dartford Street SE17 3UB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two double bedrooms, private balcony and Zone 1 access — auction sale with renovation potential.
Split-level maisonette with own front door and private balcony
This split-level two-bedroom maisonette on Dartford Street, SE17 offers a rare combination of private entrance, balcony and generous reception space in Zone 1. The reception stretches almost 20 feet and opens onto a private balcony, providing useful outdoor space for central London living. Both bedrooms are double-sized, making the layout practical for sharers, a small family or a buy-to-let investor.
The property is bright and functional but sold at auction and offered as a leasehold (approx. 103 years remaining). The kitchen and bathroom are basic and there is clear scope to modernise and improve energy performance (system-built walls likely have no insulation). There is double glazing installed before 2002 and mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators.
Location is a major strength: Elephant & Castle transport hub, multiple Tube lines and National Rail are within walking distance, and Burgess Park is nearby. The immediate area has plentiful amenities, street food at Mercato Metropolitano and growing leisure options, supporting both rental demand and owner-occupation.
Buyers should note important auction terms and likely costs: a non-refundable 5% exchange deposit, a reservation fee (up to 4.5% inc VAT, minimum £6,000), and legal pack checks are essential before bidding. The neighbourhood records higher crime and is classed as deprived, which is reflected in local market values and should be considered alongside regeneration prospects.
