A bright top-floor one-bedroom conversion offering compact, well-presented living across a split-level layout.

The standout feature is a private roof terrace, useful for outdoor space in a dense urban setting.
This property is offered chain free with a long 900-year lease and share of freehold. Service charges are modest at around £550 per annum, and excellent rail and Underground links (Loughborough Junction, Denmark Hill, Brixton) make commuting into Central and East London straightforward — a real plus for first-time buyers and city workers.
Be aware of material local factors: the neighbourhood scores as very deprived with a high local crime rate, which may concern some buyers and affect insurance or resale expectations. The building is an older solid-brick conversion with assumed no wall insulation, so heating may be less efficient than modern builds.
Internally the flat is average-sized and functional, but the kitchen is compact and the split-level layout includes stairs between floors, which may suit some lifestyles but limit accessibility. Overall, this is a cost-effective entry into a well-connected and increasingly sought-after part of South London for buyers prepared to accept the urban context and older-building characteristics.
