Summary - MARBLES HOUSE, 21 FLAT 12 JOHN RUSKIN STREET LONDON SE5 0DE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright one-bedroom with two balconies, parking and long lease near Burgess Park.
South-facing balconies off reception and bedroom
This well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Marbles House offers bright, contemporary living with two south-facing balconies that flood both the reception and bedroom with sunlight. The open-plan reception and integrated kitchen create a sociable living space, while a good-sized double bedroom and a bright bathroom complete the apartment. At 505 sq ft it’s a comfortable size for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a city rental.
Practical benefits include a secure allocated parking space, plentiful cycle storage, and a long lease (circa 976 years). Transport connections are strong: Kennington station is nearby and multiple bus routes provide fast access across central London; Elephant & Castle and Thameslink services are a short ride away. Burgess Park is on the doorstep, offering extensive green space and leisure amenities.
Costs and local context are straightforward: service charge is £1,695 pa and council tax Band C. Broadband speeds are average and the building dates from the early 2000s with double glazing and gas central heating (EPC C). The wider area is an inner-city, mixed neighbourhood with good local shops and facilities, but it is classified as relatively deprived, which may affect long-term resale in parts of the locality.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer looking for a ready-to-live-in city home with outdoor space and parking, or an investor seeking steady rental potential close to transport and large public green space. Be aware of the service charge and local area economic profile when assessing total running costs and future value.
