Step into a recently refurbished two-bedroom flat on Stubbs Drive, SE16 — compact, bright and ready to move into. The open-plan kitchen/living room with a bay window gives the apartment a light, airy feel and maximises usable space. The main bedroom is comfortably sized; the second bedroom is small and works best as a single room, home office or dressing room. The property includes plentiful storage in the foyer and contemporary finishes throughout.
Practical strengths include an allocated off-street parking space, an exceptionally long lease (954 years), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. South Bermondsey station is a short walk away for a quick commute to the city, and local shops, cafés and food options are all within easy reach. The nearby Biscuit Factory regeneration project adds potential long-term upside for the area.
Be clear about the limitations: the apartment is modest at approximately 490 sq ft and occupies a ground-floor position within a low-rise block, so internal space is limited compared with larger two-bed flats. The block charges an annual service charge of £1,973.32 and the immediate neighbourhood records above-average crime and higher area deprivation than the borough average. There is no private garden or external amenity attached to the flat.
This home is well suited to a first-time buyer, a single occupant or a buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance, chain-free purchase close to transport links. The modern finishes and long lease remove common conveyancing headaches, but buyers should factor in the service charge and local area issues when deciding to view.
