Deronda Road, London, SE24

Larger than average and arranged across two levels at the top of an elegant late-Victorian house, this bright one-bedroom apartment balances period charm with thoughtful recent upgrades. A generous landing makes an ideal home working spot and leads to a cosy semi open-plan sitting room with feature fireplace and fitted shelving. The adjacent kitchen was newly installed around two years ago and pairs wood worktops with a butler sink and ample storage.

Upstairs, a comfortable double bedroom sits beneath characterful eaves, served by a large bathroom with refreshed tiling. The owners also added underfloor insulation for improved sound comfort and warmth, plus new carpets. A large attic provides valuable additional storage, rarely available in properties of this type. Residents also enjoy shared front and rear gardens, perfect for easy outdoor time. Approx. 635 sq ft.

Deronda Road is a sought-after, tree-lined street moments from Brockwell Park.

Herne Hill’s independent cafés, pubs and much-loved Sunday farmers’ market are on the doorstep, with Dulwich Park and the Lido also within easy reach.
