Set within a Victorian terrace, this raised-ground one-bedroom conversion offers a rare private garden and long-term security with a 999-year lease created on completion. The reception room and bedroom benefit from large sash windows and generous ceiling heights, delivering bright, characterful living space for a single buyer or couple.
The kitchen is modern and practical with integrated appliances and direct access down to a narrow, lengthy garden — an appealing outdoor extension for summer dining after some basic TLC. The bathroom is functional with a shower-over-bath and tidy finishes; overall the flat presents straightforward maintenance rather than major structural work.
Practical considerations include an annual service charge of £1,200 and a nominal ground rent of £10. There is no off-street parking and broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may matter for those working from home. The property is chain-free and will receive a share of freehold on completion of the building’s sales, improving long-term ownership clarity.
Location is a strong selling point: Loughborough Junction station is a short walk (0.1 miles) for Thameslink connections, Brixton and Denmark Hill are also nearby, and Ruskin Park is within easy walking distance. Local amenities, eateries and cultural venues make this a convenient inner-city base for first-time buyers seeking character, transport links and outdoor space in SE5.
