Summary - BISHOPS HOUSE, 200 FLAT 5 SOUTH LAMBETH ROAD LONDON SW8 1UT
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Second-floor one-bedroom with balcony, open-plan living and excellent transport links..
Large reception room with plenty of natural light
This well-proportioned one-bedroom flat on the second floor offers a bright, open-plan living space and a private balcony in a convenient Vauxhall location. The large reception room and integrated kitchen suit a professional or first-time buyer seeking easy urban living with nearby shops, bars and transport links including Nine Elms Underground within easy reach.
Practical details are straightforward: gas-fired central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and an average overall size of 553 sq ft. The building dates from the 1980s and is likely timber-frame construction; this offers modern-plan accommodation but buyers should note the assumed construction type and check survey reports if concerned about long-term maintenance.
Leasehold specifics and running costs are material: 88 years remaining on the lease, an average service charge of £1,409 and a small ground rent of £10. These factors will affect mortgage options and future saleability, so buyers and advisers should confirm lease terms and service charge commitments.
The wider area is an inner-city, multi-ethnic professional neighbourhood with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low crime, but local indices show area-level deprivation — a mixed picture that typically suits commuters and young professionals rather than those seeking suburban tranquillity. The flat’s configuration, balcony and transport links create genuine commuter appeal, while the lease and service charges are the main practical drawbacks to consider.
