This bright two-double-bedroom apartment sits between Brixton and Clapham, offering generous lofted ceilings, plentiful skylights and about 678 sq ft of living space. The mock-Victorian façade gives kerb appeal while the interior reads modern — engineered wood floors, a fitted kitchen, and contemporary sash-style windows with plantation shutters create a light, low-maintenance home.
Practical benefits include a share of freehold, chain-free sale, loft storage, a new boiler installed February 2022 (serviced annually) and a washer/dryer fitted in early 2023. Transport links are strong: easy access to the Victoria and Northern lines, Overground and numerous bus routes, making commutes straightforward. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as good.
Be aware of local negatives: the area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels. The building dates from c.1900–1929 and the walls are solid brick with assumed little original insulation — labelled information about “good insulation” in marketing is inconsistent with the construction note, so buyers should verify thermal performance or retrofit needs. No flooding risk is recorded, and council tax is described as affordable.
This property suits buyers seeking a light-filled, low-fuss central London flat who value location and characterful high ceilings over expansive outdoor space. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers or sharers wanting immediate move-in condition with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes.
