This second-floor one-bedroom apartment in SW2 sits in a modern brick-built block between Brixton and Herne Hill, offering quick access to shops, cafés and Brockwell Park. The flat has a generous reception with a Juliette balcony, a separate fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a contemporary bathroom — a straightforward, move-in-ready layout suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers.
Practical features include double glazing, a lift, and a low annual service charge of £100. The 106-year lease provides long-term security and the flat’s compact, efficient floorplate is easy to maintain. On-street parking keeps costs down although there is no private garden or allocated parking.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the main heating is electric storage heaters, which can be expensive and offer less flexible heating than gas; the annual ground rent is £1,100 (relatively high); and local crime levels are above average. The property is a sensible entry-level purchase for someone prioritising location and transport links, but factor in running costs and secure parking alternatives when deciding to view.
