Elliott’s Row, Elephant & Castle

£625,000

Architect-designed two bedroom modern yet characterful apartment within a smart Victorian building - of just three properties. A private south-facing terrace completes the brilliant offering. On-street permit parking is available for residents.

Zone 1 alert! The location is a tucked-away one on a quiet residential street, yet you are right in the heart of one of London’s most vibrant and well-connected areas, very close to UAL and LSBU. Northern, Bakerloo and Jubilee lines are all close by, or jump on the Thameslink. Multiple bus routes are all yours and there are dedicated cycle paths just a couple of minutes from your door.

However you get there, Central London is just moments away.

The handsome turnkey home - designed by SE London architect Red Brick Architects - makes excellent use of space and light and boasts good storage as well. You are in for a treat!

Find your own front door on the first floor. On entry to the flat, your two double bedrooms rest to your left - both are over 12 feet by over 8 feet. To your right you have a windowed contemporary bathroom, with walk-in shower, underfloor heating, and a heated towel rail.

Your main living room incorporates dining and kitchen spaces. Bespoke wall shelves impress for both storage and display. Large double-glazed double doors open onto your own private sunny terrace - perfect for entertaining or chilling out with a book.

Your sleek fitted kitchen has integrated appliances, including a dishwasher and the flat comes with an integrated washer/dryer.

What a fun spot! You are a short walk from Elephant Park - featuring a weekend market and both yoga and fitness studios. You are just a stone’s throw from the Imperial War Museum’s quiet park and tennis courts. For a larger park and park run, head to Burgess Park. Kennington Park is also a strong one.

Just round the corner, you have Walcot Stores, Gail’s and Little Louie - for your flat white fix. For delicious drinks and great eats, local gems include Diogenes the Dog (natural wine bar), Orbit craft brewery and Theo’s Pizzeria. Pop into the The Albert Arms for a standout Sunday roast.

For sporty folk, you have the newly-refurbished Castle Centre gym that hosts a 25m pool and sauna, plus plentiful running routes in both directions along the river.

For weekend walks, head to Battersea, Borough Market, or Bermondsey Street.
