Set on quiet Woods Road in Zone 2 Peckham, this one-bedroom apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance, well-connected London base. The open-plan living area flows onto a private balcony with views over well-kept communal gardens, offering a calm retreat from the busier streets nearby. At around 549 sq ft the layout is practical: a double bedroom, contemporary bathroom and defined kitchen/living space provide comfortable everyday living.
Practical running costs are clear: an existing lease of 118 years, an annual service charge of £2,692.33 and a small ground rent of £150. Heating is provided via a community scheme—convenient but worth checking for future costs and control. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and transport links are excellent, with Queen’s Road Peckham and Peckham Rye stations a short walk away.
The location delivers lifestyle benefits — independent cafés, galleries, the Bussey Building rooftop and plentiful local amenities — but buyers should weigh the broader social context. The area records high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale prospects and insurance considerations. Schools nearby include several rated Good and Outstanding, which is a benefit for buyers planning for family needs.
Overall this apartment offers straightforward, contemporary living in a sought-after Zone 2 location with genuine transport and lifestyle advantages. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting a move-in-ready home close to Peckham’s amenities, or an investor seeking reliable rental demand — provided they factor in service charges, community heating and local area considerations.
