A compact, well-lit one-bedroom apartment in the converted Old Bread House, perfectly placed for Herne Hill’s cafes, shops and Brockwell Park. The open-plan kitchen/reception/diner and large windows make the most of the 419 sq ft, creating an airy, modern feel for first-time buyers or couples wanting a central base. The property is offered part-furnished and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband — ready for immediate occupation.
Practical details are straightforward: a 107-year lease remaining, a below-average service charge of £867, and a modest ground rent of £200. Council Tax sits in Band B. The apartment will be available from 12 October 2023 and sits on the first floor, with a modern bathroom plus a separate WC/wet room for added convenience.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations: overall internal size is small at 419 sq ft, and the local area records above-average crime and high deprivation indices, which may affect resale or lettability for some purchasers. The flat is leasehold, so long-term ownership plans should factor in the lease length and ongoing charges.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into SE24, this apartment offers a low-maintenance, central location with excellent transport links to central London and immediate access to Brockwell Park. The layout, modern finish and broadband/mobile strengths make it a practical, city-centre starter home with potential to rent easily if required.
