This bright, chain-free two-bedroom flat offers a practical city base with far-reaching city views from a private balcony. At 565 sq ft the apartment is compact but well laid out, with a large living room, a separate kitchen-diner and generous built-in storage throughout.
Tenure details are straightforward: leasehold with 105 years remaining, an annual service charge of £1,618 and ground rent of £10. The internal finish appears recently updated and move-in ready, making it suitable for a first-time buyer or a couple seeking a low-hassle central London home.
Location is a strong selling point: Mawbey House sits opposite Burgess Park with frequent buses and nearby stations (Elephant & Castle, Bermondsey, South Bermondsey) giving easy access across the City. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach, and local amenities include supermarkets, leisure and community facilities.
Be realistic about local downsides. The wider area is classified as very deprived and recorded crime levels are high; this may affect resale expectations and day-to-day comfort. The building is post‑war brick with assumed solid walls and no known insulation; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. Buyers who prioritise peace and space may find the flat small, while investors should factor local social indicators into rental and capital growth assumptions.
