A neatly presented two-bedroom Victorian conversion in central Brixton, freshly renovated and arranged for comfortable city living. The reception room retains period character with a bright bay window and fireplace, while the kitchen and bathroom were updated in 2023 to contemporary standards. Both bedrooms open out via French doors to a wider-than-average, south-facing garden — a rare suntrap for the area.
Practical benefits include a fully tanked cellar (refurbished 2022, standing height) for storage or potential utility use, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and a share of freehold. The flat sits a five-minute walk from Brixton tube (Victoria line) and ten minutes from Brockwell Park, putting transport and large green space within easy reach.
Buyers should note some trade-offs: solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, and the double glazing predates 2002, so further energy-efficiency work may be needed. The immediate area has above-average crime levels and higher deprivation indicators, which buyers should consider alongside the property’s positives. There is precedent on the street for a side-return extension, but any enlargement would require a new planning application (STNP).
Overall this is a practical, well-presented flat that will appeal to first-time buyers or buyers wanting a turn-key central Brixton home with outdoor space and future extension potential, provided they accept the local area issues and possible retrofit costs.
