Summary - Flat 1, 20 Brighton Terrace SW9 8DG
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Warm, chain-free flat moments from Victoria Line and vibrant local amenities.
Third-floor Victorian flat with high ceilings and bay windows
A bright, characterful one-bedroom flat ideal for a first-time buyer seeking central Brixton living. Set on the third floor of a handsome red-brick Victorian block, the apartment benefits from high ceilings, a generous double bedroom and an open-plan kitchen–living–dining room with fitted storage and integrated appliances. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and streaming.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a long lease (116 years), share of freehold and chain-free sale reduce transaction friction. Running costs are reasonable with mains gas central heating and a low council tax band. The flat sits moments from Brixton’s cafes, shops and Victoria Line and Overground stations.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, double glazing appears to pre-date 2002, and the property is on the third floor (no lift specified). The local area records very high crime levels and higher deprivation than average, which may affect resale or rental premiums. Annual ground rent is £200.
Overall this property offers period character, good communal location and practical tenure for first-time purchasers willing to accept some retrofit and neighbourhood trade-offs to secure central Brixton living.
