This ground-floor Victorian conversion offers a practical entry into SW2 living, presented with no onward chain and a share of the freehold. At roughly 600 sq ft, the flat includes a double bedroom, bay-fronted lounge, kitchen/diner opening onto a paved private garden and a useful cellar for storage. Its location between Brixton Underground/Overground and Brockwell Park provides strong transport links and green space within easy walking distance.
The apartment’s period character—bay window and high ceilings—gives a solid foundation for personalisation. The layout suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental potential: a bright reception, separate kitchen/diner with garden access, and one bathroom. Double glazing is present, heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and council tax banding is moderate.
The property does require renovation and modernisation throughout, so factor refurbishment costs into any purchase. Walls are solid brick and likely lack insulation; the age of glazing is unknown. The local area is inner-city cosmopolitan but noted as deprived with above-average crime rates, which may affect resale or letting considerations. Viewed realistically, this is a value-driven project for someone willing to invest time and budget to update and personalise a well-located Victorian flat.
