Set directly opposite Ruskin Park, this top-floor one-bedroom flat combines period character with bright modern living across 503 sqft. Large Velux skylights and high ceilings in parts of the flat bring strong natural light into the open-plan living and kitchen area, while generous eaves storage and a dedicated external storeroom add valuable practical space.
The bedroom is well proportioned with built-in storage and peaceful park outlooks. The building is a handsome early 20th-century conversion with double glazing, gas central heating via boiler and radiators, and a share of freehold with 109 years remaining on the lease — offering long-term security for owner-occupiers. First-come, first-served off-street parking is available, a helpful convenience in this popular area.
Practical buyers should note some limitations: the living area has a sloped, relatively low ceiling in parts which reduces perceived volume; the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no added cavity insulation; and parking is not guaranteed. The flat’s size (average overall) and linear layout make it best suited to a single buyer or couple rather than a family needing multiple bedrooms.
Well placed for Herne Hill, Denmark Hill and Loughborough Junction stations and surrounded by cafés, shops and good schools, this flat suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a light-filled, characterful London home with immediate park access and modest refurbishment potential.
