A bright ground-floor one-bedroom flat with a private garden, generous reception room and useful cellar — an attractive first home within a Victorian conversion. High ceilings, a bay window and original cornicing give immediate character while exposed wooden floors and neutral decoration make the flat easy to move into straight away.
The separate dine-in kitchen opens directly onto a low-maintenance wrap-around garden, extending the living space outdoors in summer. The double bedroom is quietly positioned to the rear and the cellar provides practical storage for bikes and bulkier items, freeing up living space.
There is realistic scope to increase space and value: precedent on the road exists for side-return extensions, so applying for permission to extend into the side return could create a two-bedroom layout (subject to planning). Practical considerations include the leasehold tenure (99 years remaining) and solid brick walls likely lacking insulation, which may mean future energy-efficiency improvements are needed.
Location is a strong selling point for first-time buyers: Brockwell Park, local cafés, pubs and shops are within easy walking distance, and Brixton and Herne Hill stations, plus several fast transport links, make commutes straightforward. Chain-free sale simplifies timing for buyers ready to move.
