Set on West Grove in Elephant Park, this modern two-bedroom, two-bath apartment offers bright, open-plan living across approximately 862 sq ft. Large glazing, high ceilings and a private balcony deliver city views and generous natural light, while underfloor heating and comfort cooling add year-round comfort. The master bedroom includes an en suite and walk-in wardrobe; a second double bedroom and family bathroom complete the layout.
Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, a communal residents' lounge, gym, roof terrace, secure cycle storage and access to private communal gardens. The new nearby landscaped 0.4-hectare green space provides mature trees, play trails and regular open-air events, a welcome oasis in a busy part of Southwark. Elephant & Castle National Rail and Underground stations are a short walk away, with excellent local shops and eateries on Sayer Street.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 241 years remaining, a ground rent of £500 pa and an above-average service charge of £5,563.27 pa. Council tax sits at Band E and the building is on a community heating scheme, which may affect utility arrangements and costs. The wider area has higher deprivation levels, and crime is average for the locality.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a contemporary, well-provided home close to major transport links — either a city-base for professionals or an investment opportunity with strong rental appeal. Its long lease and communal amenities reduce immediate ownership risk, though prospective purchasers should factor in ongoing service charges and communal heating terms before proceeding.
