Light-filled two-bedroom apartment set within the Sir John Soane building at South Gardens, offering flexible, contemporary living across about 786 sq ft. The open-plan living/kitchen enjoys dual-aspect windows and a balcony, ideal for morning light and urban views. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite; a second double bedroom and family bathroom complete a practical layout suited to sharers or small families.
Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, a gym, communal gardens and roof terrace, plus the new Elephant Park green space nearby. Transport links are strong: Elephant & Castle station is about 0.4 miles away for Underground and National Rail services, and local amenities and markets including Merkato Metropolitano are within easy reach.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold flat with 241 years remaining on a 250-year lease from 2016, ground rent circa £375 pa and a high service charge (about £6,953 pa). Council tax is above average and the local area records above-average crime and significant deprivation indicators—buyers should consider security and running costs alongside the lifestyle benefits.
This property suits buyers who prioritise modern communal facilities, excellent transport links and proximity to new green space, and who accept higher service charges for concierge and amenities. It offers low flood risk, a long lease and ready-to-live-in condition, but limited by elevated annual charges and local social indicators.
