1 Bed Flat, Breakspears Road, SE4

A beautifully unique and newly decorated, one-bedroom apartment in Brockley's conservation area, available to rent as the owners are moving abroad.

The apartment occupies the top floor of a period building, with spectacular views over London. The entrance is from a share corridor on the floor below, and opens into an entrance hall with a wooden chair and under-stair storage and a staircase that leads up to the main living spaces, which doubles as a light well. Original wooden floors run throughout, and the apartment has a new kitchen, with a fridge, washing machine and dishwasher and hard-wood counter tops. The living room is extremely bright thanks to an unusual roof light, and features a built-in bookshelf. There is also a bookshelf in the upstairs hallway. 

It is currently furnished but many of the pieces can be removed if the tenant would prefer their own furniture. The living room currently has a day bed so it can be used occasionally as a guest room, as well as an antique gate-leg table, secretaire and two chairs. The bedroom has a large tallboy and a Habitat wooden bed with a mattress. Clothes rails can be provided on request.  

Residents have use of a large shared garden, which will be tended by a gardener once a month. Hilly Fields Park is also a short walk away. 

There is free parking outside the house.

The apartment was designed as a real home, not an "investment opportunity", and the owners are looking for the right tenants, who will appreciate the thought that has gone into creating it and the chance to live in one of London's nicest areas. Pets will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
