Swanley House, Kinglake Estate, Elephant and Castle, SE17

This well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment requires renovation and provides a fantastic opportunity for a first-time buyer or investment. EPC Rating C.

The property is located on the second floor of a well-maintained development. Enter the flat off a communal walkway and into a hallway.

The flat is arranged to provide two sizeable bedrooms, both of which can easily accommodate a double bed, bedside tables and a freestanding wardrobe. The master bedroom, located at the rear of the property, is larger and benefits from two large windows allowing natural light to fill the room.

The kitchen benefits from a tiled floor and comprises a freestanding fan oven with gas hob, space for an undercounter washer/dryer and a freestanding fridge freezer.

The reception room, also at the rear of the property is a good size with space for two large sofas, armchairs, a coffee table and freestanding furniture. A possible option here, would be to knock the kitchen and reception room together, subject to freeholder’s consent and any required planning permission, which would make a wonderful open plan kitchen/reception room.

The bathroom, located off the hallway, comprises a bath with overhead shower, wash basin and a heated towel rail. There is also a separate W.C. with wash basin.

The property would benefit from renovation throughout and would make a superb project for anyone who has the appetite for one.

Swanley House is located just off Old Kent Road and just a short walk away from Burgess Park, which offers an array of independent eateries and cafes, as well as expansive green spaces with tennis courts, outdoor gyms and bandstands. Old Kent Road offers regular bus routes into the City and beyond. The hustle and bustle of the independent bars and eateries of Bermondsey Street are also a short walk away.
