2 bed flat to rent

Marlborough Close, London SE17

Tucked into the vibrant, fast-changing heart of Elephant & Castle, this well-presented two double bedroom apartment offers all the advantages of Zone 1 living without the usual compromises. Recently refurbished with new wooden flooring throughout, this bright and sociable home strikes an easy balance between comfort and practicality, and opens onto a private balcony overlooking a peaceful residential setting, just moments from the energy of one of South London-s most dynamic neighbourhoods.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles. The principal room benefits from a built-in wardrobe, offering ample storage without the need for additional furniture, while a freestanding wardrobe serves the second room. The contemporary bathroom is finished with modern fixtures and tiling and includes a full bathtub and built-in storage, with a further cupboard conveniently positioned alongside.

At the centre of daily life is a spacious, fully fitted kitchen that doubles as a relaxed dining area. Equipped with an induction hob, oven, microwave and a washer-dryer, it covers every practical need – no launderette trips required – and a separate drying cupboard adds welcome extra storage. The living room is the natural gathering point of the home, furnished with a comfortable sofa and a welcoming reception area, with a glazed door leading out to the balcony, a quiet retreat from the buzz of the surrounding streets.

Rent includes hot water, central heating and service charge. Currently furnished with a sofa, a coffee table, a desk, a dining table, chairs, beds, and a standing wardrobe (in the second bedroom), but can be rented unfurnished. Off-street parking is available. Tenants can apply for a rented garage.

Elephant & Castle is in the midst of one of London-s most ambitious regeneration stories, and the transformation has made it one of the capital-s most exciting places to call home. Its character is unmistakably cosmopolitan with a thriving Latin American community, an ever-expanding choice of international restaurants, and the celebrated street-food halls of Mercato Metropolitano all sit close by. Green space is plentiful too, with the Imperial War Museum and Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park nearby. Southwark-s vast Burgess Park is a short stroll away, and the newly built Elephant Park brings fresh shops, dining and communal spaces to the area.

Connectivity is exceptional. Two Underground lines, the Northern and the Bakerloo, serve the area, alongside National Rail services and a wealth of bus routes, putting the West End, the City, London Bridge and Waterloo all within a few minutes- reach. Both Elephant & Castle and Kennington stations are within comfortable walking distance.

To keep things straightforward, the rent includes hot water, central heating, and the service charge. The apartment is currently furnished – a sofa, coffee table, desk, dining table and chairs, beds, and a standing wardrobe in the second bedroom – but can equally be let unfurnished to suit your own arrangements. Off-street parking is available, and tenants may also apply for a rented garage.

For anyone seeking genuinely affordable Zone 1 living in a neighbourhood that pairs cosmopolitan flair with a real sense of community, this apartment is an outstanding opportunity.
