Summary - LAKE HOUSE FLAT 3 SCOVELL ROAD LONDON SE1 1QF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
South-facing balcony with pleasant natural light
This chain-free, first-floor two-bedroom flat offers a practical central-London entry point for first-time buyers. The living room opens onto a private south-facing balcony, bringing light into the principal reception. A separate fully fitted kitchen and built-in storage make everyday living straightforward. The property is offered with 100 years remaining on the lease, making it viable for mortgage lenders.
Location is a major draw: Scovell Road sits just off Southwark Bridge Road, placing Borough Market, South Bank galleries and London Bridge within easy reach. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working; permit parking is available for local commuters. Local schools include two Outstanding-rated primaries, which will appeal to buyers considering future family plans.
Buyers should note material running costs and building details. The annual service charge is £2,064 and ground rent is £10 per year. The building dates from the 1950s–60s with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), so heating costs may be higher than modern stock. Crime levels are above average for the area; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on safety and security arrangements.
Internally the flat is compact at 576 sq ft and will suit those seeking a central, manageable home rather than large living spaces. There is scope to personalise and refresh finishes to add value, but major structural work is not flagged. Overall this is a sensible central London purchase for a buyer prioritising location, light and convenience over generous floor area.
