This split-level two-bedroom home offers a distinct feel of a house with its own front door and generous 1,109 sq ft of flexible space. Floor-to-ceiling glazing in the reception brings strong natural light to the open-plan living and dining area, which opens onto a southwest-facing balcony. Two ensuite bedrooms provide privacy and convenience, useful for sharers or a family.
Practical running costs are reasonable: a long lease (243 years remaining), modest ground rent (£250 pa, subject to increase) and a service charge of £1,332.92 pa. The building benefits from energy-conscious features including solar panels and triple glazing, plus mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The property is sold chain-free.
Location delivers urban convenience—Denmark Hill Overground is under a mile, numerous buses serve Camberwell Road, and Burgess Park is a short walk away. Local shops, cafes and essential services are immediate, supporting city living and potential rental demand.
Notable drawbacks are factual: there is no allocated parking (on-street/controlled zone only), the building sits above commercial premises, and the local area records very high crime and very high deprivation indices. Planning permission nearby (redevelopment of The Lighthouse to the south) may affect outlook or local disruption. Buyers should note ground rent is subject to increase and that the development has no lift.
