This two-bedroom first-floor conversion on Norwood Road offers an attractive entry point to Herne Hill living. The principal bedroom's large bay window floods the main room with light, while an open-plan reception/kitchen gives a modern, sociable feel. A private rear garden with a paved terrace extends the living space outdoors — a rare bonus for a conversion flat.
The flat is compact at around 593 sq ft, so it will suit buyers seeking a manageable home or a first purchase rather than those needing large family living. The property sits in a period building (c.1900–1929) with character features and high ceilings in parts, but some elements — such as assumed solid brick walls with no insulation — may benefit from improvement work to boost comfort and efficiency.
Practical points add to the appeal: a long lease (167 years), a below-average service charge (£995), double glazing, mains gas central heating and no flood risk. However, the immediate area has above-average crime statistics and higher deprivation indices, so buyers should factor neighbourhood considerations into their decision. Transport links are good, with Herne Hill station, local buses and easy access to Brockwell Park.
Overall this is a well-proportioned, characterful conversion that gives first-time buyers or couples a solid base in a popular part of South London. Its combination of bay-window brightness, outdoor space and long lease make it a sensible choice; modest spatial limits and some retrofit potential are the main trade-offs.
