Summary - Flat 15, Aberfeldy House, John Ruskin Street SE5 0XQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Move-in ready flat with private garden and excellent transport links.
Private garden with direct street access, good for cyclists
Bright, recently renovated one-bedroom apartment arranged over raised ground and lower ground floors, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking move-in ready accommodation close to central transport links. The flat includes a large double bedroom, contemporary bathroom, a generous reception room and a high-spec kitchen with integrated appliances. A private garden with direct street access is a rare city asset and useful for cyclists.
Practical details are straightforward: leasehold with 100 years remaining, ground rent £10 pa and service charge circa £3,390 pa. Heating runs on a community mains gas scheme and the building has double glazing; exact install dates are unknown. The apartment totals approximately 587 sq ft and benefits from its own street entrance.
Location is a strong selling point — a short walk to Oval underground, Kennington and Myatt’s Fields parks, local shops and bus routes. Nearby primary and secondary schools have good or outstanding Ofsted ratings, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Be aware of a few material negatives: local crime levels are above average and the wider area is classified as deprived, factors that may concern some buyers or affect resale. The service charge is relatively high for a one-bedroom flat, and the property is leasehold (standard lease length but still subject to leasehold rules).
