Chain-free one-bedroom flat with allocated parking and long lease in Elephant & Castle.
Allocated off-street parking space — rare for central SE1
Bright one-bedroom apartment in a Victorian building, offered chain-free and ready for immediate purchase. The property includes an allocated off-street parking space — a rare and valuable feature in this part of SE1 — and benefits from long lease term (156 years) that suits buyers avoiding short-lease complications.
The flat has good natural light from large windows and retains period character in a quiet Conservation Area setting, while sitting close to Elephant & Castle’s bars, restaurants and transport links. Its 484 sq ft layout includes a double bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom with high ceilings that create a sense of space.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so expect higher running costs and possible upgrade work (insulation, heating). The area has high recorded crime and is classified as very deprived, though ongoing local regeneration could improve amenities and values over time.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, chain-free period flat with parking and long lease. A buyer should commission their own survey and factor in potential refurbishment and energy-efficiency improvements when budgeting.
