A well-presented two-bedroom period conversion on South Lambeth Road combining Victorian character with modern fittings. High ceilings and wide-plank timber floors give the reception room a spacious, airy feel, while the modern kitchen and bathroom deliver ready-to-use convenience for city living.
The flat sits on the second floor of a handsome mid-terrace building with excellent transport links — Vauxhall, Stockwell and Oval stations are all within easy reach — and local shops, cafés and Vauxhall Park close by. The share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (986 years) are strong tenure positives for buyers and investors.
Practical considerations: the kitchen is compact and may suit a couple rather than a family; there is no private outdoor space and the building’s solid brick construction suggests limited wall insulation unless upgraded. Service charge is modest at £500 and council tax band C is affordable, but the wider area is classified as deprived which can affect resale perceptions and lettings in some market segments.
This flat will suit a professional couple, first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a characterful, low-maintenance city home with strong transport links. It’s largely ready to occupy but offers straightforward scope for minor improvements (kitchen reconfiguration or insulation upgrades) to increase comfort and future value.
