Bright, recently renovated two-bedroom apartment arranged around a peaceful communal courtyard. The reception room and separate modern kitchen give practical living space for everyday use, while two double bedrooms suit couples or sharers. At about 626 sq ft the layout feels roomy for central London standards.
Practical details are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining, an average annual service charge of around £1,500 and a nominal ground rent. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; the block dates from the 1950s–60s and external walls are solid brick (no additional insulation assumed).
Location is a strong selling point for commuters — around a ten-minute walk to Stockwell station with easy bus and rail links to Vauxhall, central London and the City. Communal landscaped gardens provide outdoor space uncommon at this price level.
Considerations: the lease length is below the 90–100 year threshold some buyers prefer, and the service charge is a meaningful ongoing cost. The surrounding ward is classified as deprived, and local amenities and schools vary in performance. Overall, this is a move-in-ready central London flat that offers value for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers prepared to manage lease and service-charge implications.
