This chain-free, two-double-bedroom apartment sits on Acre Lane between Brixton and Clapham — an inner-city home well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan reception/kitchen opens onto a private balcony, giving useful outdoor space and good natural light from large windows. Modern finishes, double glazing and gas central heating make it move-in ready.
Practical strengths include a long lease (113 years), a manageable footprint of about 749 sq ft and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Commuters can access Brixton (Victoria Line and British Rail) and Clapham North (Northern Line) with relative ease. Service charge and council tax are additional running costs to budget for.
Be clear on the downsides: the flat is leasehold, with a service charge of £1,955 per year and a council tax Band D. The surrounding area scores as deprived with above-average crime levels — buyers should factor local context into safety and resale considerations. Overall, this is a contemporary, practical urban apartment with scope for straightforward personalisation and rental appeal.
