Two large double bedrooms and bright living room with curved bay window
Set within the sought-after Ruskin Park House, this second-floor apartment offers clear refurbishment potential and strong location advantages. Two large double bedrooms, a bright living room with a curved bay and a south-facing balcony provide solid space and natural light for conversion or resale.
The flat requires full renovation and is sold with only 47 years remaining on the lease — a material issue that means mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. The sale is cash buyers only; factor in lease extension costs and refurbishment budgets when assessing investment returns.
Transport and local amenities are real strengths: Denmark Hill station is close by with direct links into central London, and Ruskin Park, Herne Hill village and local markets are within walking distance. Nearby schools are rated Good and several respected independent options lie close by, supporting lettability and resale appeal when upgraded.
For buyers able to purchase with cash and fund improvements, this property offers a chance to add value in a desirable, well-managed block with character features. Be aware of higher-than-average local crime figures and the lease length — both affect finance, insurance and future saleability.
