From the colourful parade of shops that lines it pedestrianised centre, to its long-standing pubs, much-loved restaurants and renowned weekly market, Herne Hill is teeming with independent businesses and its devoted local community works hard to retain its unique charm. There are several outstanding schools and connections are great, with regular trains from Herne Hill station going to London Victoria, Blackfriars and Wimbledon. It’s crowning glory is Brockwell Park, one of the most beautiful parks in London, and its Art Deco lido and café, which are popular all year round.

Property details
A one double bedroom apartment securely nestled on the first floor of one of the converted Victorian townhouses, ideally located for easy access to both Herne Hill and Tulse Hill centres.
The bright reception room is located at the back of the building and perfectly formed with high ceilings and wooden sash windows which contribute to the characterful atmosphere throughout the flat. The modern kitchen is conveniently inset into the room and provides all you need in terms of storage. The double bedroom is bright and also tucked away quietly at the back of the building with a large window that overlooks the peaceful neighbouring gardens at the rear. Last but not least there is a contemporary bathroom off the central entrance hall. The apartment has the added advantage of substantial demised loft space above the reception room which offers fantastic storage options and could be altered to vault the ceilings or create a mezzanine area. The property is situated in a popular location and unlike a lot of similar conversions, the majority of the total square footage is useable living space with good room dimensions, as opposed to being distributed within larger hallways. A fantastic blank canvas, ready for a purchaser to move in hassle-free and add their own touch over time.
As far as locations go, it doesn’t get much better: equidistant from two sought-after areas, attracting purchasers contemplating moving to both Herne Hill and Tulse Hill. Romola Road is conveniently located a short walk from the green open spaces of Brockwell Park, lauded as London's best outdoor space by locals with its amazing lido among its myriad attractions. Tulse Hill train station is within a four-minute stroll with trains to London Bridge and central London via Southern Rail and the Thames Link. Herne Hill and West Dulwich are also within easy walking reach offering a village feel and a wide range of amenities. Brixton, first stop on the Victoria Line and the lauded Brixton Village is a five-minute bus journey or a twenty-four-minute walk across Brockwell Park.
This chain-free property will be an attractive proposition for a wide range of purchasers that include first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors or anyone looking for a fantastically located pied-a-terre. Early registration of interest is advised.
