2 Bed Flat, Brockley, SE4

A bright and airy, 2 bedroom flat in the sought after Brockley Conservation Area. A gem of an area tucked away but still in Zone 2 and with great access to the centre of London. 

The flat is a conversion flat situated on the top (second) floor of a handsome Victorian property. There are 2 other flats in the building. The area of the flat is approximately 50sq m. There is an attractive communal hallway with traditional tiled floor.  

The door to the flat itself is actually on the first floor and opens onto a small but convenient cloakroom area. From the cloakroom, stairs lead up to an airy and spacious landing from which all of the other rooms can be accessed. The flat is basically unfurnished although there are a couple of items of furniture which are provided with the rental: a large, comfortable sofa in the lounge and a mirrored wardrobe tucked into an alcove in the second bedroom. There is also fitted shelving on the end wall of the lounge, in the main bedroom and also in the second bedroom. The fitted kitchen has oven, hob and a large fridge freezer. The bathroom has a large alcove where there is a washing machine and plenty of shelves for storage above it. 

Lounge: a delightful space with a lovely window looking out onto tree-lined St Margaret's Road, which is a cul de sac resulting in little traffic. The area is exceptionally quiet and peaceful

Kitchen: fully fitted; oven, hob, large fridge freezer. Attractive wooden worktop. 

Bedroom 1: comfortably large enough for a double-bed. Fitted shelving unit along one wall. Attractive views to the rear of the property. Considering there are other properties close by, the flat feels very private with little overlook from neighbouring homes. The view is dominated by trees.

Bedroom 2: also large enough for a double-bed or alternatively suitable for use as a home office. Also with views to the rear of the property. 

Bathroom: this is an attractive space with a charming arch shaped window. 

London flats always seem short of storage space but this flat also has an entire loft above. The loft has been recently insulated, boarded, lit and is accessed via a hatch with pull down ladder descending to the landing. It provides a surprisingly large area for those little used items (see photos).

St Margaret's Road and the neighbouring streets have free, unrestricted roadside parking. Within a couple of minutes walk of the flat there is a parade of shops including a pharmacy, barbers, hairdresser, award winning fish and chip shop Brockley Rock, a well-stocked Coop supermarket, a Reformer pilates studio plus various cafes, bars and convenience stores. 

We don't currently have an up to date EPC for this flat as the loft insulation has only just been completely redone and also because the windows are about to be refurbished to make them more thermally insulated and draught-proof. We're aiming to get a C certifcate awarded. 

The Brockley Conservation Area where this flat is situated is one of London's best kept secrets. It is a network of beautiful, tree-lined streets within easy walking distance of numerous stations. It is home to Hilly Fields which is a popular local park just 300m from the property. Hilly Fields is situated high on a hill affording it spectacular views across London in all directions. There is a café, children's adventure play area, tennis courts, playing fields and even a stone circle! Brockley Conservation Area also has a thriving artistic community (an annual open house weekend is held by local artists), a weekly farmers market and a wide range of places to eat. The famous Rivoli ballroom, an immaculately preserved heritage treasure and therefore often to be seen in period dramas and pop videos, is a short walk away in Crofton Park where the fringe theatre venue Brockley Jack can also be found.
