Set on the second floor of a tidy 1930s purpose-built block, this compact three-bedroom flat offers a practical entry point into SE17. At about 688 sq ft the layout is traditional with a separate kitchen, living-dining room overlooking communal gardens, one bathroom and an additional WC — suitable for buyers wanting immediate habitation or modest upgrades.
Transport and local amenities are genuine strengths: Elephant & Castle station, supermarkets including Lidl, and the new Elephant Park development are within walking distance, and mobile and broadband connections are strong. Nearby primary and secondary schools include highly rated options, which will suit buyers with schooling needs.
Important practical facts: the property is leasehold with 104 years remaining, a service charge averaging £1,947 and a low ground rent (circa £10). Council tax is described as cheap. The building is solid brick (likely uninsulated) with double glazing of unknown installation date and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators.
Be clear-eyed about the area: local deprivation is high and recorded crime levels are very high — this affects desirability and may influence resale or letting prospects. The flat is small and has only one bathroom, so it suits buyers wanting an affordable central home or an investor prepared to accept those constraints. Some buyers may want to budget for insulation improvements, heating checks, or cosmetic updating.
