Set across the top floors of a handsome Victorian conversion, this newly renovated two-double-bedroom split-level apartment offers over 800 sq ft of bright living space in sought-after Poets Corner. The full-width reception room at the front benefits from tall arched windows, high ceilings and built-in shelving, creating an airy social heart ideal for entertaining or a work-from-home layout. The principal bedroom sits privately on the upper level with built-in wardrobes and a Velux window.
Practical points suit first-time buyers: a separate kitchen, a bathroom plus a handy additional WC, and useful eaves storage. The flat is chain-free and has a long lease (circa 120 years), which simplifies purchase and offers security for mortgage considerations. Local amenities are excellent — Herne Hill village is a five-minute stroll, Brockwell Park is moments away and Brixton is within easy walking distance, with fast rail and tube links into central London.
Be aware of material factors: the property is leasehold (120 years remaining) and the building is of solid brick construction, which may mean limited wall insulation without further retrofit. The wider area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived; buyers should consider this alongside the location benefits and transport links. Council tax banding is low, and broadband and mobile connectivity are strong.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-upgraded apartment that marries period features with modern finishes — a practical, bright home for a purchaser seeking a well-located first home or a lettable central Herne Hill investment, provided the neighbourhood considerations match their needs.
