0.2 miles to West Norwood station; good bus links to Brixton and Victoria line

This large two-storey freehold warehouse in Carlew House offers a substantial 6,757 sq.ft (approx. 0.24 acres) industrial space with high ceilings, large windows and a solid brick build. The open-plan workshop layout and plentiful natural light suit light industrial, creative studios or flexible operational uses. The property is vacant and provides a blank canvas for fit-out or reconfiguration.
Location is a key strength: the site sits 0.2 miles from West Norwood Train Station (regular services to London Victoria and London Bridge) and a short walk from Knight’s Hill high street. Good bus connections to Brixton and the Victoria line increase accessibility for staff and deliveries. Mobile signal is excellent and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should note a number of practical drawbacks. The area is classified as very deprived and the immediate site is bordered by industrial buildings on three sides and the railway line to the east, which may affect outlook and noise. Broadband speeds are very slow. The interior is somewhat dated and will require refurbishment or fit-out to meet modern operational or commercial standards.
This freehold unit is suited to businesses seeking long-term industrial space, creative operators wanting studio/workshop capacity, or investors targeting industrial asset conversion. The combination of size, transport links and flexible use class (previously B1(c), now E(g)) gives scope for varied occupational models, subject to planning and fit-out costs.
