Set within an attractive period conversion on Vestry Road, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment combines character details with modern fittings. The flat offers an open-plan living and kitchen area that benefits from large windows and high ceilings, creating a bright, flexible living space across approximately 464 sq ft. The bedroom is well-proportioned and the bathroom is finished to a high standard, allowing immediate move-in.
Practical ownership features stand out: the property is chain free, offered with a long 999-year lease and no ground rent. Annual service charge is around £950 (below average) and council tax is described as affordable, helping to keep running costs predictable for a first-time buyer or investor.

The neighbourhood suits young professionals and first-time buyers seeking liveliness and convenience in South London.
Buyers should note local context: the wider area scores as deprived with above-average crime levels, which may affect long-term perception and rental demand. The building dates from a 2007–2011 conversion and has double glazing and mains gas heating; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on any remaining maintenance or communal matters.
