This bright ground-floor four-bedroom flat offers a rare mix of living space and outside amenity in SW9. At about 1,270 sq ft with large windows and a private east-facing garden, it suits families who need extra room, home-workers wanting outdoor space, or investors seeking a sizable London flat close to transport.
The layout is traditional and well-proportioned, with double glazing fitted after 2002 and mains gas central heating. The garden is a standout feature for the area — paved patio, planted lawn and mature tree screening give privacy and scope for landscaping or play space.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the property is leasehold with 114 years remaining, an above-average service charge of £7,275 pa and a nominal ground rent of £10. The building’s timber-frame walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), so additional insulation works might be required if you plan energy upgrades. The local crime level is very high — important to consider for family safety and insurance costs.
Location is a genuine strength: a short walk to both Brixton and Clapham stations, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus several highly rated primary schools within walking distance. Flood risk is low. Overall this is a roomy family-focused flat with a rare private garden for the price, but it carries measurable running costs and some retrofit needs to maximise comfort and efficiency.
