Contemporary living close to transport and local amenities for city starters.
Second-floor one-bedroom flat with private balcony
Light-filled and practical, this second-floor one-bedroom flat offers a straightforward first home in SW9. The large reception room flows into an open-plan modern kitchen, and a private balcony adds outdoor space for relaxing or indoor-outdoor entertaining. Finished to a contemporary standard, the apartment is ready to move into.
The property sits in a well-connected part of south London, a short walk from Brixton Road and Oval transport links. Local amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, which adds appeal for buyers planning long-term convenience. Mobile signal is excellent, though broadband speeds are only average.
Important practical points: the home is leasehold with 112 years remaining, and an annual ground rent of £250. Heating and main fuel are provided via a community electricity scheme rather than individual gas central heating. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, which prospective buyers should weigh against the location benefits.
Overall this is a sensible, modern one-bedroom apartment for a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance city base with good transport links and outdoor space. It offers solid immediate usability and potential for rental income, but buyers should note community heating, service costs and local area indicators when budgeting.
