This compact first-floor apartment sits in a gated mid-rise block between Brixton and Herne Hill, offering easy access to bars, shops and Brockwell Park. The open-plan reception/dining room benefits from large glazed doors and a juliet balcony that bring good natural light into the main living space. The layout is efficient: a separate modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes give comfortable, move-in-ready accommodation for a single occupant or couple.
Practical strengths include a long lease (106 years remaining), a low annual service charge (£157) and a lift to the flat. The property was constructed in the mid-2000s and has double glazing; fittings are tidy and neutrally presented, so minimal cosmetic work is required to make it your own or rent it out quickly.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important for budgeting: heating is by electric room heaters (no central gas heating), which can increase running costs; parking is on-street only; and the local crime rate is recorded as above average. There is no private garden. The flat’s 522 sq ft is small-to-average for a one-bedroom, so storage and space are limited compared with larger homes.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a well-presented, low-fee urban home or investors after a straightforward let in a lively, well-connected part of SW2. Buyers should check service arrangements and running costs and note the absence of gas central heating when calculating household expenses.
