Set over two floors, this split-level three-bedroom maisonette offers generous living space and an open-plan reception with dining area — rare for available homes in SE5. The modern kitchen with integrated appliances and double-glazed windows make it liveable straight away, while the 869 sqft layout gives genuine room to grow for a first-time buyer or couple.
Positioned moments from Camberwell amenities and with easy access to Peckham Rye station, the flat benefits from excellent transport links, local schools rated 'Good', and a wide range of shops, cafes and leisure facilities nearby. There is no flood risk and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong, supporting city commuting and home working.
Important practical points you should know: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and will be sold at auction, which can mean a quicker, more certain sale process but requires readiness to proceed. The annual service charge is high (£4,887) and heating is via a community mains-gas scheme; the building is system-built and likely lacks wall insulation, so there is potential to improve thermal efficiency and running costs.
This home suits a first-time buyer who wants a spacious London property with solid transport and amenity access, and who is comfortable managing leasehold considerations and an auction purchase. For those seeking longer-term value, modest investment in insulation and cosmetic updating could both reduce bills and increase resale potential.
