Bright and well-proportioned, this first-floor 1-bedroom flat offers a practical city base close to Walworth Road and Elephant & Castle transport links. The large reception room and contemporary kitchen create an open, modern feel ideal for single buyers or couples seeking straightforward, low-maintenance living in a central location.
The double bedroom is a comfortable size and there’s a separate utility/storage room — a useful rarity in flats of this size. Secondary glazing helps with outside noise, and the property’s solid brick construction gives character and thermal mass, though the walls currently lack insulation.
Important practical points: the home is leasehold, heated by electric room heaters and runs on electricity as the main fuel, and broadband speeds are average. The immediate area is inner-city and classified as deprived with a high local crime rate, so consider security improvements and insurance costs when assessing suitability.
For a buyer wanting a well-located, modern-feeling flat with scope to improve energy performance and add personal touches, this is a sensible entry into SE17. Proximity to shops, eateries, multiple schools and excellent transport makes it convenient; investors should note the location’s rental demand but weigh management and security factors carefully.
