This purpose-built one-bedroom apartment offers direct street access and an unusually large private garden for ground-floor living. At 529 sq ft the layout includes a generous double bedroom, separate kitchen and a three-piece bathroom — a practical, comfortable home for a first-time buyer or couple.
Positioned on the Camberwell/Peckham border, the property is a short walk to Burgess Park and local shops, cafés and galleries. Transport links are good with multiple bus routes into Central London and Denmark Hill station within easy reach, making commuting straightforward.
Practical considerations are clear: the lease has about 101 years remaining, annual service charge is £2,188 and ground rent is £10. The building dates from the 1950s–60s, has older double glazing and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs and future upgrade work.
This home suits a buyer looking for outdoor space in an inner-city location and someone willing to carry out modest improvements to boost energy efficiency and long-term value. The property’s low council tax band and long lease add practical appeal alongside the private outdoor area.
