Summary - 27C ST STEPHEN'S TERRACE SW8 1DL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful one-bedroom raised ground flat with private garden and recent roof and window upgrades.
Private secluded garden accessed from the kitchen
Bright and characterful, this raised ground-floor one-bedroom flat pairs classic Victorian features with sensible modern updates. The front reception room benefits from a bay window, high cornicing and a feature fireplace, while a well-proportioned double bedroom overlooks the private garden. The compact modern kitchen opens directly onto the secluded outdoor space, creating a useful indoor–outdoor flow.
Practical upgrades include high-quality double glazing (2022) and a full roof replacement in 2024 with a 15-year guarantee, reducing short-term maintenance risk. The flat comes chain-free with a share of freehold — helpful for a straightforward purchase. Transport links are strong: Nine Elms (Northern Line) and Stockwell (Northern and Victoria Lines) are within easy walking distance, and local parks such as Larkhall Park and Clapham Common are nearby.
Be clear on the limitations: the property is a small one-bedroom (about 475 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or couple; storage is limited and the kitchen is compact. The building’s solid brick construction likely has limited wall insulation, which may affect running costs despite recent glazing. The immediate area records higher crime levels and is classed as relatively deprived, so buyers should weigh neighbourhood trade-offs against price and location benefits.
Overall this is a well-located, low-maintenance starter home with outdoor space and period charm. It will particularly suit first-time buyers seeking a compact central-London base with good transport and outdoor amenities, or buyers wanting a straightforward, chain-free purchase with limited immediate repair needs.
