Set on the first floor of a gated modern development in the heart of Brixton, this bright one-bedroom flat offers an easy city base for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan living space benefits from a Juliette balcony and generous natural light, creating a welcoming home for everyday living and entertaining. At around 500 sq ft the layout is efficient with a double bedroom and contemporary fittings throughout.
Practical benefits include lift access, concierge, secure entry, bike storage and a long lease of 142 years. The property is chain-free and listed with no ground rent or service charge shown, which simplifies purchase costs; confirm these details during due diligence. Transport links are excellent with Brixton Underground (Victoria Line) and Overground close by, plus fast broadband and strong mobile signal for remote working.
Be upfront about local downsides: the wider area has high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale expectations and suitability for families. Several nearby state schools have mixed Ofsted results; a few are rated ‘Requires improvement’. Heating is via a community scheme rather than individual gas boilers — check running costs and controls before committing.
Overall, this flat suits a buyer seeking a well-presented, low-maintenance London pied-à-terre or a rental investment in a lively central location. Verify service charge, management arrangements and local safety measures as part of your checks.
