Bright two-bedroom apartment near Brixton amenities, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Bright open-plan reception with integrated modern kitchen
This bright, split-level two-bedroom apartment sits on the edge of Brixton and offers a modern, well-presented interior across 816 sq ft. The open-plan reception with integrated kitchen opens onto a large private balcony, creating a pleasant indoor–outdoor living space. Both bedrooms are double-sized; the principal benefits from an ensuite and there is a separate sleek bathroom.
Practical advantages include a long lease (141 years remaining), double glazing, mains gas and a community heating scheme, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suitable for remote working. The property is finished to a high standard throughout and will appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors looking for a ready-to-move-in home in a well-connected area.
Notable costs and local factors are set out plainly: this is a leasehold home with an above-average service charge (£4,012 pa) and an average ground rent (£489 pa). The surrounding neighbourhood scores high for crime and is in a very deprived area, which may affect long-term resale and rental demand. Local schools are mixed in performance, with some rated Good and others needing improvement.
Overall, the apartment offers immediate comfort and strong connectivity close to Brixton’s amenities and transport links, but buyers should factor ongoing service charges, local social challenges and crime levels into their decision. For those seeking a well-appointed, low-maintenance home or an investment near central London, this property represents clear short-term appeal with some location-related caveats.
