1 Bed Flat, Effra Court, SW2

Central Brixton 3rd Floor 1-bedroom apartment


The apartment is in a purpose-built 1930's block of flats a few minutes walk from Brixton centre and is comprised of: entrance hall, bedroom, bathroom, lounge, kitchen.

The flat is in good order (the bathroom being refitted in early 2021) and conveniently located within easy walking distance of central Brixton. The Ritzy cinema, Brixton markets, Brixton Underground, Railway Station, the Academy and Electric music venues and myriad bars and restaurants are all within the neighbourhood. Brockwell Park and the Lido are a short walk away.

It is ideally suited to people who enjoy the hustle and bustle of city life. It is well connected via tube, train and bus to the West End, the City and south out towards Streatham, Croydon or Wimbledon. There is a Santander Cycle Hire docking station a few metres away at Brixton Oval/Windrush Square.

The building is on Brixton Hill and the flat is at the front, so there can be some background road noise (although I lived there for many years without being bothered by it).

The building has a lift and a small garden to the rear. Satellite and TV services are provided centrally and Hyperoptic Fibre Broadband services are available (up to 1GB) for an additional charge.

A cleaner's services are included (once a fortnight) to assist you in keeping the flat clean.

Appliances include:

• Built-in electric combination fan/microwave oven
• Ceramic hob
• Automatic washing machine
• Fridge/freezer

Please note, a standard double bed with mattress is provided and this must be used with the (brand new) mattress protector provided.

Central heating and hot water is by gas combination boiler (new one fitted late 2020). Light fittings are either electronic or LED so that electricity usage is kept to a minimum. Gas and Electricity are provided by Co-Op Energy but you can change supplier as long as we agree it in advance.

In addition to the rent, you would be responsible for paying:

• Council Tax (Band C, Lambeth)
  
• Gas and Electricity (currently through Co-Op but you can change supplier if you wish)
• Water (through Thames Water)

There are on-street 'Residents Parking' bays either side of the property in Baytree Road and Sudbourne Road and parking permits and visitors' parking permits can be obtained online or from Lambeth Council's Civic Centre, which is a few metres down Brixton Hill.

All flats in the building are subject to the same lease condition to keep noise to a minimum between the hours of 2300 and 0700. It's an obvious rule but means that the flat is best suited to people who keep "regular" hours.
