George Mathers Road, Elephant & Castle, London, SE11

The apartment has a private balcony and has been looked after beautifully by the current owner who purchased it as a new build. The property is located just 9 minutes' walk from Elephant & Castle station, yet is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac. The building uses an energy-efficient electric heat exchange system, which runs constantly and maintains a constant and comfortable temperature.
The seller comments:
"The loveliest thing about this flat is the sunny balcony in the mornings where you can enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the calmest, quietest spots in Elephant & Castle. Being on the first floor, and with supportive neighbours around, the space has always felt really safe and secure. There is everything you could want here. It's within walking distance of several tranquil, hidden-away spaces such as the beautiful Jamyang Buddhist Centre, the Tibetan Peace Garden in the Imperial War Museum Park, Vauxhall City Farm and the new gardens in Elephant Park. The area has changed a lot in the last decade, with more restaurants and bars such as Mercato Metropolitano, but it has retained its soul, for example we have the artisan studios in Pullens Yard and Colombian food and music in Elephant Road. The area is perfect for exploring London however you want - by bike, foot, train, bus or underground. The public transport connections are unbeatable and it's possible to get to major train stations (Victoria, Waterloo, London Bridge and Charing Cross in particular) quickly when you want to get out of London. I love how central I am, being able to stroll to the Southbank Centre in under half an hour or walk or bike across the river to Soho and Chinatown. While I love London, I am a countryside person at heart and so am taking a break from the city."

The property is conveniently located close to a variety of shops, cafes, bars and amenities, as well as numerous regular bus routes providing links into Central London and the City. Elephant & Castle station and Kennington station are also just a short walk away, offering fast and frequent underground and overground connections, with Borough, London Bridge and Waterloo also within a short distance.
