This bright top-floor two-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-presented home in a lively SE22 parade. Natural light fills the living area through large windows, and the modern kitchen and shower room provide move-in-ready convenience for first-time buyers or sharers.
Practical benefits include a 999-year lease, low annual service charge (approx £541), and no ground rent. Excellent transport links (Peckham Rye and East Dulwich within walking distance) and nearby green space at Peckham Rye Park suit commuters and active lifestyles.
Be clear about the limitations: the property is small (488 sq ft) and has a single bathroom. The building’s solid brick walls are original and likely lack cavity insulation; double glazing is present but the install date is unknown — further fabric or heating upgrades may improve comfort and running costs.
Overall this chain-free flat is a sensible, affordable entry into SE22 with long lease security and good local amenities. Buyers should factor in potential retrofit or soundproofing costs and inspect for noise from the street-level commercial units above which the flat sits.
