A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat in a Victorian conversion, arranged over an elongated 557 sq ft plan. The reception room offers wooden floors, an exposed brick feature wall and space for a small dining area; the kitchen is fitted with white units and butcher-block worktops. The principal bedroom is large enough for a king bed and benefits from three windows and good natural light. A modern shower room completes the accommodation.
The property sits 0.3 miles from Loughborough Junction station and close to Denmark Hill, making commuting straightforward via Thameslink, Overground and fast services to central London. Local amenities include Ruskin Park, a growing range of independent bars, restaurants and cultural venues, plus several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (989 years remaining), share of freehold, low annual service charge of £500 and no ground rent. On-street permit parking is available and broadband and mobile signals are good.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the neighbourhood records a very high crime rate, parking is restricted to on-street permits only, and there is no lift (first-floor access). The building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation and the double glazing predates 2002 — further insulation or window upgrades would improve comfort and efficiency. Internal modernisation may be desirable depending on buyer taste.
