Flat for sale in London SE17, 1 Bedroom

A mere 0.8 miles from Elephant & Castle Station this purpose-built spacious garden flat is newly refurbished to a very high specification.

The bright and spacious open-plan living room/kitchen has been opened up to maximise on space and light. The new kitchen features a range-master cooker and breakfast bar - excellent for entertaining. The large bright bedroom is fitted with a cast iron gas-burning stove, adding atmosphere on colder nights, and it looks out onto the private garden beyond. The newly fitted bathroom is in keeping with the period building with a clawfoot bath and beautiful V&A tiling. There is also a separate utility cupboard with plentiful storage.

At the rear of the house is a private garden which has been cleverly landscaped and reuses the London stock yellow bricks removed from the former kitchen wall. It is an excellent space for summer BBQs and even has a fire pit for colder nights.

Set in the elegant Liverpool Grove conservation area, the flat was originally built around 1910 as part of an early 1900s social housing project commissioned by Octavia Hill (1838-1912 one of the most important housing reformers of the time) and the Church Commissioners. It is an important example of the 'Garden city' movement, in which every purpose-built maisonette had access to its own private garden. The rustic architectural style used on the street reflects the aim to bring the country into the city.

Minutes from the shops and cafes on the Walworth Road, the flat is also an easy commute by bus, bike, train or tube to the City, Oxford Circus, Shoreditch, London Bridge, Camberwell, Peckham and more. Elephant and Castle station offers Northern and Bakerloo lines, plus overground trains, including services to Gatwick Airport, King's Cross, Cannon Street, Blackfriars, Brighton, Bedford, Kent and East Sussex.
