Modern one-bedroom with balcony, lift access and easy links to Burgess Park and central London.
Southwest-facing private balcony with communal garden views
Bright, well-proportioned and ready to move into, this one-bedroom apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a manageable step onto the London property ladder. The open-plan reception and modern kitchen open to a southwest-facing balcony that captures afternoon sun — a useful extra outdoor space for city living. At about 603 sq ft the layout feels generous for a one-bed and includes large windows that draw in daylight.
Practical running costs are clear: a 115-year lease remains, an annual service charge of £1,832.64 and ground rent of £300. The ground rent is written to increase (doubling every 25 years) — important for budgeting and future resale. Heating is via a communal scheme, so buyers should expect less individual control and seasonal cost variability compared with a private boiler.
Location is a genuine selling point: Burgess Park is moments away and Camberwell Road provides frequent buses into Elephant & Castle and wider connections. The neighbourhood mixes independent cultural venues, cafes and convenient transport, making daily life straightforward. There is no allocated parking, but on-street and controlled parking zone provision exist.
The apartment is modern-finished throughout — wooden floors in the reception, a contemporary bathroom and triple glazing — which reduces immediate refurbishment needs. Note the property sits in an area classified with pockets of deprivation; local amenities and schools are strong, but buyers should weigh longer-term area dynamics against immediate conveniences.
