Summary - ABBEY COURT, 20 FLAT 4 MACLEOD STREET LONDON SE17 3HA
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bed with gated parking and communal gardens near Burgess Park.
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom, 518 sq ft
This chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in a gated development close to Elephant & Castle and Burgess Park. At 518 sq ft the layout feels comfortable for a first-time buyer or couple, with a separate kitchen, a good-sized living room and communal gardens for outdoor space. Secure off-street parking and bicycle storage add everyday convenience in this central location.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (992 years), double glazing and a secure entry system. The building dates from the 1980s and presents as a modern-purpose-built block, so exterior maintenance is generally shared through the service charge rather than individual upkeep. The apartment is offered chain free, which can speed a purchase.
Notable running costs and considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters, which typically bring higher energy bills than gas-fed systems. Service charge is around £1,320 per year and broadband speeds are average for the area. The neighbourhood is an inner-city, diverse area with some deprivation indicators and average local crime levels — buyers should visit at different times to judge local character and amenities.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located apartment with long lease security and parking — a practical purchase for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to accept electric heating and the recorded service charge.
