Location is a standout: a short walk to Oval Underground (Northern Line), many bus routes, cafés, markets and several highly rated primary and secondary schools nearby. This flat suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a well-located, characterful property with clear scope to modernise energy performance and personalise interiors.
