Balcony accessed from reception and bedroom
Chain free sale with long lease (~137 years)

On-site caretaking and communal grounds maintained
A third-floor two-bedroom apartment in Ruskin Park House offers a clear renovation opportunity in a desirable Champion Hill location. The building adjoins Ruskin Park and sits close to Denmark Hill station, local shops, cafes and popular neighbouring hubs such as Herne Hill, East Dulwich and Brixton. The flat includes a balcony, off-street parking provision and a medium-sized footprint of about 615 sq ft suitable for a compact family or rental unit.
The accommodation will require full cosmetic and likely mechanical updating; expect decorating, flooring replacement and kitchen/bathroom modernisation to bring the flat to contemporary standards. The property is chain free with a long lease (approximately 137 years) and comes with a share in the management company. These factors simplify purchase and future resale after refurbishment.
Buyers should note the area records above-average crime statistics and the flat will need investment to realise its potential. That said, the block is characterful mid-20th-century red-brick architecture with on-site caretaking and communal grounds that add appeal. For investors or hands-on buyers, the combination of location, lease length and scope for value-add presents a straightforward refurbishment project with good commuter links and local demand.
Practical points: the apartment is on the third floor (no lift mentioned), benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and has affordable council tax. Buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home should allow budget and time for the listed works; those targeting a renovation project will find clear potential to increase value post-refurbishment.
