A bright one-bedroom top-floor apartment in a handsome Victorian block, minutes from Brixton station and Brockwell Park. The apartment offers a large double bedroom, a spacious reception room, separate kitchen and plentiful built-in storage — useful for buyers seeking easy, practical living near central Brixton. Off-street resident parking and access to a private shared garden add rare outdoor and parking convenience for the area.
Practical considerations are clear: the lease will be extended before completion, but only 83 years remain now, so buyers should budget for future enfranchisement costs. Annual service charge is £1,771 and ground rent is nominal; council tax band is low. The property is chain free, making a quicker move possible.
Location strengths include excellent transport links (Brixton and Streatham Hill nearby), fast broadband and a strong local mix of amenities, cafes and open green space. However, the neighbourhood records above-average crime and sits in a deprived area classification, which some buyers may weigh against the transport and lifestyle benefits.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a well-proportioned city flat with clear renovation or rental potential. It’s a straightforward, characterful opportunity close to central Brixton — with material lease and service-cost considerations that should be checked early in the purchase process.
