Summary - PENROSE HOUSE FLAT 4 PENROSE STREET LONDON SE17 3DU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
First-floor two-bedroom flat with balcony, excellent transport links and a 102-year lease, chain free.
First-floor two-bedroom flat with private balcony
This first-floor two-bedroom flat offers bright, well-proportioned rooms and a private balcony, ideal for a first-time buyer or couple seeking central SE17 living. The reception room benefits from large windows and hardwood floors that enhance the sense of space and natural light. The compact kitchen is modern and functional, suited to everyday use.
The property sits close to Kennington and Elephant & Castle stations, providing fast connections across London and excellent mobile and broadband speeds for remote working. Local amenities are extensive, from supermarkets and cafés to parks and schools, including several highly rated primaries nearby.
Practical considerations: the building dates from the 1950s–60s with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than newer builds. The area records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may influence long-term resale and rental perceptions. The flat is leasehold with 102 years remaining, low ground rent and chain free, giving a straightforward purchase process for buyers prepared to accept the neighbourhood context.
Overall, this flat represents accessible central London entry with immediate transport and amenity benefits. It's well suited to buyers wanting a bright, ready-to-live-in home with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise the kitchen and bathrooms over time.
