Set on the top floor of a handsome Victorian terrace in the Brockley Conservation Area, this one-double-bedroom apartment offers bright, airy rooms and period character. At around 561 sq ft the layout includes a large front reception room, separate fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom — a straightforward, well-presented home for a first purchase or buy-to-let.
Practical benefits are strong: a 999-year lease, share of freehold and chain-free sale remove common ownership headaches. High ceilings, original sash windows and generous storage create a feeling of space, while Hilly Fields, shops and cafés are within easy walking distance. Brockley station is approximately 0.3 miles away for direct links into central London.
Buyers should note a couple of material points: the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher than modern standards, and the immediate neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average. Service charges are approximately £1,574.30 per year.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting period character with practical long-lease security, or an investor seeking a well-located one-bedroom near reliable transport. The home is largely move-in ready but offers scope to personalise heating efficiency and cosmetic details to add value.
