A bright one-bedroom top-floor flat in a handsome Victorian mid-terrace, offered chain-free and well presented throughout. The apartment benefits from large sash-style double-glazed windows that flood principal rooms with natural light and retain many period features, creating a welcoming, characterful interior. The separate modern kitchen has gloss fittings and integrated appliances, making it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or couple.
Practical points include a long lease (114 years), modest service charge (£250pcm) and ground rent (£300pa). The property is leasehold; buyers should factor these ongoing costs into affordability calculations. Some construction details note a timber frame “as built” with no insulation assumed — this may present future upgrading or energy-efficiency opportunities.
Outside, the flat sits in a peaceful residential street close to Brockwell Park’s extensive green space and local sports amenities. Tulse Hill and Streatham Hill stations are within easy walking distance, delivering strong transport links to central London. The area is described as inner-city cosmopolitan and affluent, popular with established tech workers and professionals.
Known positives: chain-free sale, attractive period exterior, generous natural light, and a modern fitted kitchen. Known considerations: leasehold tenure, ground rent and service charge, timber-frame walls with assumed no insulation, and council tax band not specified—buyers should verify exact floor area and running costs during due diligence.
