Modern 2-bed apartment with concierge and excellent transport links in Elephant and Castle.
16th-floor flat with westerly city views
This modern two-double-bedroom apartment on the 16th floor offers open-plan living, contemporary finishes and westerly city views. The large reception and sleek fitted kitchen create a bright, sociable space ideal for young professionals or first-time buyers seeking turnkey urban living. Two bathrooms, including an en suite, add practical convenience for sharers or couples.
Set within a concierge-serviced development in the heart of Elephant and Castle, the location is exceptionally well connected with abundant local shops, cafés, transport links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. The property was built in the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and a community heating scheme, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note the flat is leasehold with 109 years remaining and a ground rent of 375 (average). The area records above-average crime and wider measures of deprivation, which may concern some purchasers despite the development’s security features. The communal heating arrangement and mains gas supply are efficient but mean service charges and running costs should be checked before purchase.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers or investors wanting a contemporary, low-maintenance central London base with strong local amenities and good school choices nearby. Inspect to confirm service charge levels and running costs related to the community heating scheme.
