Light-filled 2-bed with balcony, parking and long lease in central Brixton.
Secure fifth-floor flat with lift access
Set on the fifth floor of a secure block in Brixton, this two-bedroom flat pairs bright, modern living with practical features that suit first-time buyers. The open-plan kitchen–reception fills the apartment with light and leads onto a private balcony with far-reaching views. A principal bedroom includes an en-suite for added convenience.
Practical benefits include lift access, private off-street parking and a long lease of 101 years. Local travel and day-to-day shopping are within easy reach, with Streatham Hill station nearby and a wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are also close by.
Be aware this is a leasehold property with a small ground rent of £200 and electric room heaters rather than a mains gas system. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and external walls are assumed to lack insulation, so further energy improvements may be worthwhile. Crime levels in the area are above average; sensible security and personal safety measures are advised.
Overall this apartment offers a manageable, well-located home with immediate move-in potential and scope to add value through targeted upgrades to heating and insulation.
