This bright two-double-bedroom conversion sits at the end of a Victorian terrace and offers a rare south-facing private garden — a notable find for central-London flats. The open-plan reception and kitchen are flooded with light through full-height glazing and skylights, finished with wide-plank wooden floors and contemporary fittings. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a cellar provide practical living and storage in a compact 716 sq ft layout.
Situated almost equidistant between Brixton and Clapham High Streets, the flat delivers excellent transport links to the Victoria and Northern lines and a wide choice of shops, cafés and green spaces including Clapham Common and Brockwell Park. Share of freehold gives longer-term ownership control and the house-like feel of a lower-ground/upper layout suits first-time buyers or couples wanting outdoor space.
Be upfront about the trade-offs: the building is solid-brick Victorian with no known cavity insulation and the double-glazing install date is unknown, so heating costs may be higher than for modern builds. The area records above-average crime and is relatively deprived; buyers should consider local safety and community factors alongside the convenience and lifestyle on offer.
Overall this is a well-presented, light-filled conversion with immediate move-in appeal and scope for modest improvement. It’s especially well-suited to purchasers seeking a central, garden-equipped flat within walking distance of Brixton and Clapham amenities and strong transport connections.
