Compact two-bed with high ceilings, share of freehold and garden access.
Hall-floor two-bedroom flat with high ceilings
Set on the hall floor of an attractive early-20th-century building, this compact two-bedroom flat offers a rare, chain-free opportunity in SE16. The open-plan reception and kitchen—just under 17ft—benefit from high ceilings and a large window, creating a bright living space well suited to relaxed entertaining or comfortable day-to-day living. Both bedrooms are doubles and share a modern bathroom. Access to a shared courtyard garden adds outdoor space rarely found at this budget and location.
The property is offered with a share of freehold and a long lease (circa 112 years), making it straightforward for buyers wanting security and lower long-term ownership costs. Running costs are reasonable: EPC C, mains gas boiler and radiators, and a below-average service charge of £320pa. Excellent transport links (Bermondsey, South Bermondsey and London Bridge nearby) place the City, Canary Wharf and the West End within easy reach.
Practical considerations: the overall size is small (approx. 481 sq ft) and the building construction is solid brick from 1900–1929, likely without cavity insulation; buyers should expect standard period-property maintenance and possible retrofit costs to improve thermal efficiency. The wider area is classified as deprived despite being popular with established tech workers and offering many local amenities and green space at Southwark Park. Crime levels are average.
This flat will suit first-time buyers seeking a central London base or investors looking for a well-located, low-maintenance asset with room to add value through sensitive upgrading. Viewing recommended to appreciate the high ceilings and convenient location close to Bermondsey’s eateries, markets and transport links.
