Chain free central Zone 1 flat with flexible extra mansard space.
Top-floor Victorian flat with two double bedrooms
This top-floor Victorian flat offers practical, flexible living across two floors — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a central Zone 1 base. The property includes two double bedrooms, a useful box room for a study or nursery, and a mansard room on the top floor that provides extra flexible space for storage, hobbies or occasional guests.
The apartment is chain free and sold with a share of freehold and approximately 114 years remaining on the lease, with low building maintenance costs. Double-glazed windows and gas central heating via boiler and radiators give straightforward, economical comfort. The open-plan kitchen/reception is compact but contemporary, and the overall 803 sq ft feels average sized for the location.
Location is a major draw: Elephant & Castle station is the nearest transport hub with Underground and National Rail links, and Kennington, Southbank and Borough Market are all easily reached. Local amenities, schools (several rated Good), shops and leisure spots are within walking distance, supporting day-to-day convenience.
Be aware of material negatives: the area records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect some buyers’ priorities. The property sits in a conservation-area-style street but is in an inner-city environment; prospective buyers should consider security and local context. The lease length, while over a century, and the building’s Victorian construction may prompt standard checks (lease, insurance, and any historic building considerations) before purchase.
