2 bed maisonette to buy in SE17

This split-level maisonette in Dartford Street, SE17, offers generous proportions, private outside space and a convenient location close to the heart of Elephant & Castle. With its own front door, two double bedrooms and a spacious reception with balcony, it provides a bright and practical base in Zone 1.

The layout is simple and well considered. On the second floor, the large reception room spans almost 20 feet in length, opening onto a private balcony – a rare bonus in this part of London. The separate kitchen is fitted in a straightforward style, with scope to modernise to suit personal taste. Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms share a family bathroom. Both bedrooms are double-sized, making the property ideal for sharers, a young family, or anyone looking for flexible space to work from home.

The location is a real advantage. Elephant & Castle station (Zone 1/2) is within walking distance, offering both Northern Line and Bakerloo Line services along with National Rail, putting the West End, City and Canary Wharf within easy reach. Local bus routes are excellent, and cycling into central London is straightforward from here.

The surrounding area has seen significant regeneration in recent years, with a growing choice of shops, cafés and restaurants. Mercato Metropolitano is a standout nearby destination for street food and socialising, while Sayer Street brings together independent eateries and bars. Borough, Bermondsey Street and the South Bank are all close enough for weekend exploring, with food markets, galleries and riverside walks to enjoy.

Green space is better than many expect in this central location. Burgess Park is just a short walk away, offering wide open lawns, a lake and sports facilities, while Kennington Park is also within easy reach.

Altogether, this maisonette represents a practical and well-located home with strong rental appeal and plenty of potential to personalise. With its balcony, generous reception and own entrance, it offers more than most flats at this price point, right in the heart of one of London’s fastest-changing areas.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.
