Top-floor one-bedroom apartment with direct access to a large private roof terrace, offering a roomy outdoor space rare for flats in this area. The flat is purpose-built (c.1976–82) with double glazing and mains gas central heating; it feels modern inside with large windows and clean-lined finishes.
This property suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking central SW8 convenience. It’s within easy reach of Stockwell and Oval tube stations (Northern & Victoria lines) and local amenities, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal supporting rental demand or home working. The unit’s compact footprint (circa 483 sq ft) is efficient and well laid out: entrance hall, kitchen, living room opening onto the terrace, one double bedroom, bathroom and separate WC.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with 119 years remaining and a low ground rent (£10). Owners have private enjoyment of Albert Square for a small annual fee. Council tax is very cheap and recorded crime levels are low, but the wider area is classified as deprived which can affect long-term value growth in some market conditions. Services and appliances have not been tested — a buyer survey is recommended.
Overall, this apartment offers a valuable mix of outdoor space, transport links and modern comforts at a competitive price. Its size and tenure make it especially appealing for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a straightforward central-London property with strong rental potential.
