Summary - 8 AYLTON ESTATE LONDON SE16 7JL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, renovated flat minutes from tube and overground stations.
One double bedroom maisonette, approx 459 sqft
A recently refreshed one-bedroom maisonette on the first floor of a red-brick estate, well placed between Rotherhithe Overground (3 minutes) and Canada Water tube (7 minutes). The flat has been updated with a modern kitchen, oak flooring, double glazing and a new combi boiler, making it a straightforward move-in or lettable home with an estimated rental of £1,500–£1,600pcm.
The layout is compact (c.459 sqft) with a small living room, one double bedroom and a full bathroom. Practical features include fibre broadband, integrated storage and residents’ permit parking with a yard space nearby. EPC rating C and mains gas heating help keep running costs moderate; council tax is very low.
Buyers should note material limitations: internal space is average/small and the living room has low-to-medium ceilings and dated wallpaper that may need modernising. The block is a four-storey walk-up with external communal corridors and no lift, which may affect privacy and perceived security. The area records high crime levels and is classified as deprived, though the location benefits from active regeneration around Canada Water and good local amenities and schools.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable London entry point or a buy-to-let investor looking for a well-located, low-maintenance asset. The lease has c.101 years remaining, service charge and ground rent are modest but should be factored into affordability calculations.
