Set across the upper floors of a handsome Victorian conversion, this split-level two-bedroom apartment offers generous living space (819 sq ft) and a private roof terrace — rare for central London flats. The open-plan living room receives good natural light and leads to contemporary accommodation spread over multiple levels, giving a house-like feel without the gardens’ maintenance.
Practical benefits include a long lease (979 years), share of freehold ownership and no onward chain, making the purchase process straightforward. The property is well served for transport: Vauxhall’s Underground, rail and bus links are within easy reach, while Bonnington Square’s cafés, communal gardens and local shops create an unusually peaceful inner-city setting.
Notable negatives are factual: the EPC is rated D and the building’s solid-brick Victorian walls appear to lack insulation, so energy efficiency and heating costs may be higher than modern builds. The local area records very high crime and elevated deprivation indicators; buyers should consider security and local services. Overall this is a characterful, versatile flat with scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
