Summary - STAFFORD MANSIONS, 138 FLAT 20 FERNDALE ROAD LONDON SW4 7SA
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Large private terrace, chain free and excellent transport links for city living.
Two double bedrooms with two bathrooms
A spacious split-level penthouse arranged over the second and third floors of a converted school, this two-double-bedroom apartment brings generous room sizes and a large private terrace to central Brixton living. The open-plan kitchen-reception benefits from high ceilings, abundant natural light and hardwood floors, creating an attractive main living space for entertaining or working from home. The property is offered chain free and sits on a very long lease (973 years), removing a common leasehold worry.
Practical running costs and location facts are important: the annual service charge is £5,500 (above average) and the property is in Council Tax Band G, so holding costs will be higher than typical flats. The building dates from the 1930s and is solid brick; there is no confirmed insulation in the walls and the double glazing install date is unknown, which may mean further works to improve energy efficiency.
Transport and lifestyle are strong positives. The flat is between Brixton (Victoria Line) and Clapham North (Northern Line) with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Clapham Common and a wide range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants are within walking distance. Note the local area records higher crime levels and the wider neighbourhood is relatively deprived, factors buyers should weigh alongside the excellent connectivity.
This property will suit buyers who prioritise space, a private outdoor terrace and chain-free purchase in a well-connected inner-city location. It also offers scope for targeted improvement works to reduce running costs and boost resale value. Buyers should budget for the elevated service charge and higher council tax when assessing affordability.
