Set across two floors, this chain-free three-bedroom duplex offers practical city living close to Southwark Park and South Bermondsey station. The flat’s large reception room, separate kitchen and private balcony give scope for comfortable living and easy entertaining. The layout and 758 sq ft provide functional space, though the overall footprint is described as small for three bedrooms.
The property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-move-in home with scope to modernise. The bathroom is sleek and the bedrooms receive good natural light; heating is by mains-gas boiler and the windows are double-glazed (installation date unknown). The lease has 93 years remaining and ground rent is listed at £10; tenure is leasehold.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the immediate neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with high local crime levels, and the wider area is constrained. These factors may affect resale or rental demand and should be considered alongside the attractive chain-free position and transport links.
Local amenities are extensive — schools with Outstanding and Good Ofsted ratings nearby, shops, cafés and regular bus and rail connections. This flat offers sensible urban value for those who prioritise location and transport, or who are prepared to carry out modest improvements to maximise long-term potential.
