This one-bedroom ex-local authority flat in Peckham offers practical space and strong transport links, priced for first-time buyers or investors. Set within a 1970s purpose-built block, the apartment provides a double bedroom, separate kitchen, living room and a small balcony — all arranged over approximately 511 sq ft. The flat is chain-free and has a long lease (119 years), making it straightforward to buy.
The location is a clear strength: minutes from Peckham Rye and Queen’s Road Peckham stations with fast services into central London, and within walking distance of parks, cafes, galleries and everyday amenities. The area suits renters and buyers who value connectivity and an active urban neighbourhood.
The property is functional but requires some updating. The kitchen is dated with worn fixtures and tiles and would benefit from modernization. The EPC rating is D and the property sits on a community gas heating scheme rather than individual gas central heating. These factors should be considered by buyers seeking lower running costs or planning renovation work.
Note the wider context: the neighbourhood is classified as deprived and records higher crime levels than average, which may affect some buyer preferences and rental yields. Council tax sits at band B, and the flat is leasehold — both practical details for budgeting. Overall, this is a pragmatic purchase for someone prioritising location and transport, and willing to invest in cosmetic improvement.
