Set within an attractive Victorian mid-terrace, this chain-free two-bedroom maisonette offers generous living across approximately 900 sq ft with direct access to a large private garden. The flat benefits from a long lease (957 years) and a share of the freehold, giving buyers ownership security and no ground rent. The open-plan living-kitchen-dining room and two well-proportioned double bedrooms suit families or sharers seeking space and outdoor access in central Brixton.
Internally the accommodation appears well presented with neutral finishes, hardwood flooring in the reception and a contemporary bathroom; however, exact condition and installation dates for glazing and services are not confirmed. The building is solid-brick and dates from before 1900 — insulation may be limited and future buyers should budget for any thermal upgrades or targeted refurbishment to improve efficiency. Annual service charge is around £2,000 and council tax band is D.
Location is a key asset: Effra Road sits moments from Brixton’s shops, cafés and transport links (Brixton Underground Victoria Line, National Rail and frequent buses), with Brockwell Park close by for recreation. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as good, supporting home working. Buyers should note the immediate area records above-average crime and higher local deprivation indices; weigh proximity benefits against these local factors.
This property will suit families or buyers wanting a sizeable garden flat in a vibrant, inner-city neighbourhood with clear potential to personalise and add value. It is offered chain free with a very long lease, making it straightforward to move into or let out after modest updating.
