Compact chain-free one-bedroom with balcony, communal garden and permit parking in central Brixton..
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat with private balcony
Bright, compact and chain-free, this one-bedroom first-floor flat in Dalbury House offers a practical London entry-point for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout separates a modern fitted kitchen from a large living area that opens onto a private balcony, creating usable living space and outdoor access. Residents also benefit from a communal garden and off-street permit parking — rare for this price band in SW9. Transport links are strong, with Stockwell, Brixton and Clapham North stations within easy reach for Northern, Victoria and Overground lines.
The building dates from the early 20th century and has period character, while interior updates include double glazing and a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances. At about 377 sq ft the flat is small but efficiently arranged; the living area feels bright and adaptable for a home office or lounge. Council tax is very cheap and the property is offered chain-free, simplifying a quick move or letting process. EPC rating D and mains gas boiler heating are in place.
Buyers should note key practical considerations: the property is leasehold with a nominal ground rent (listed as £10, details unclear), and external walls are solid brick with assumed limited insulation — potential buyers may want to check energy-improvement options. The wider area faces very high crime and local deprivation indicators, which can affect long-term resale values and rental demand; viewings should include an assessment of security and neighbourhood suitability. Overall, this flat suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable Brixton base or an investor targeting rental income, provided they accept the compact size and local area issues.
