A well-presented one-bedroom garden flat set on the ground floor of a handsome Victorian conversion on Mayall Road, between Brixton and Herne Hill. The sitting room’s large bay window and high ceilings bring natural light into compact, comfortable living space, while a private garden and built-in shelving add practical appeal.
The flat totals approximately 613 sq ft and benefits from double glazing (fitted after 2002) and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Its period character and solid brick construction give charm and thermal mass, though the walls are assumed to have no added insulation — worth noting for buyers planning energy upgrades.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located home with lettable potential in an inner-city, cosmopolitan area. It’s an easy walk to Brockwell Park, local cafés and transport links, and sits within a mixed-quality school catchment (two nearby primaries rated Outstanding and Good; some local secondaries require improvement).
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold and sits in an area with above-average crime and relative deprivation indicators. For purchasers focused on running costs or comfort, insulation improvements and periodic maintenance typical of Victorian buildings should be factored into budgets.
