This compact third-floor flat offers efficient open-plan living with large windows and a private balcony, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance city life. At 424 sq ft the layout makes the most of the space, with a double bedroom, modern fitted kitchen and bathroom ready for immediate occupation.
Location is the strongest asset: Denmark Hill station, excellent bus routes including direct links to Central London, and the wide green spaces of Burgess Park are all within easy walking distance. Local cafés, bars and shops in Camberwell and Elephant & Castle add everyday convenience and weekend options.
Practical points you must consider: the property is leasehold (105 years remaining) and will be sold by auction via the Modern Method of Auction. Bidders should allow for a non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of the price, minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee and potential optional service-provider fees. Service charge is around £1,580 (average).
The setting is inner-city cosmopolitan with average crime and deprived area metrics, so weigh lifestyle benefits against longer-term area regeneration prospects. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent. For a buyer prioritising location and a straightforward, chain-free purchase, this is a practical, well-located starter home or a rental investment with easy tenant appeal.
