Set within a 1900–1929 period block in central Waterloo, this chain-free three-bedroom flat offers 716 sq ft of practical living space a short walk from Waterloo station and the South Bank. The layout is traditional with a spacious living room and a compact contemporary kitchen; large windows bring good natural light to the main rooms. EPC D and mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators are straightforward and familiar systems for central London flats.
This property will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking immediate central access and rental potential. The location is a major strength: cafés, Lower Marsh market, theatres and transport links are all within easy reach, and local schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding options. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the flat is leasehold, relatively small for three bedrooms, and the building’s solid brick walls have no assumed cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs. Crime rates in the area are very high and the wider area shows signs of deprivation—factors to consider for families and some investors. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the EPC rating is D, so energy-efficiency improvements could be worthwhile.
Overall, this is a convenient, chain-free central London home with immediate location benefits and clear potential for upgrading. It will appeal most to purchasers prioritising proximity to transport and city amenities, or to landlords targeting central Waterloo demand, while those seeking a low-crime, highly insulated suburban home should look elsewhere.
