This well-presented two-bedroom split-level maisonette sits within a late-Victorian end-terrace and balances period character with contemporary living. The reception room benefits from high ceilings and large bay windows, while a separate fitted kitchen provides practical everyday space. The property is comfortable now and offers scope to add value by converting the generous demised loft, subject to planning and consent.
Practical ownership is straightforward: the sale is chain free and comes with a long lease (994 years) and a share of the freehold. At about 806 sq ft, the layout works well for first-time buyers or professionals wanting smart, central living with easy access to Brixton, Loughborough Junction and Oval transport hubs.
Known drawbacks are factual and important for budgeting: the building is solid-brick Victorian and likely has no built-in wall insulation, which can affect heating efficiency. The plot is small with no notable garden amenity, the wider area scores as deprived and crime is average — factors to weigh against the strong transport and local school options.
For buyers seeking a home to move into now with realistic potential to upgrade, this maisonette is a solid choice. It offers period features, modern fixtures, and a clear route to adding space (loft conversion) while avoiding the delays of a chained sale.
