Set on the penultimate floor of Somerset Place, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers broad London views, a private balcony and contemporary finishes across just under 740 sq ft. Both bedrooms are doubles and the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite, while a second bathroom adds flexibility for sharers or guests. Large windows and high ceilings create a bright, airy living space with a modern open-plan feel and laminate flooring throughout.
Practical conveniences include secure entry, lift access and fast broadband — ideal for professionals working from home. The property is a short stroll to Brixton’s shops, markets, nightlife and Brixton Station (Victoria Line), with green space at Brockwell Park and Clapham Common within easy reach.
Important buyer information: the lease has approximately 42 years remaining. This is a material issue: many mortgage lenders will decline to lend on a short lease, so sale is likely only feasible to cash buyers or those able to arrange specialist financing. Service charges and ground rent are notable: an average service charge of £4,000pa and ground rent around £350pa.
The area has an energetic, inner-city character and high crime statistics; buyers should view with eyes open about local environment and safety. For someone able to buy without standard mortgage finance, this apartment offers strong rental or owner-occupier potential thanks to location, size and condition.
