Brixton is a melting pot of culture, cuisine and creativity. An explosion of inventive, new restaurants, pop-ups, fashion stores and art galleries sit alongside the many great pubs, music venues and nightclubs that have been around for years. Transport links are excellent, with London Underground (Victoria Line) trains reaching central London in 12 minutes. If you’re craving green space, Brockwell Park and its famed Art Deco lido are close by. Brixton brings together all the best things about London and is one of the most vibrant and diverse places to live south of the river.

Property details
This is a delightfully arranged chain-free flat occupying the whole ground floor of one of the lovely Victorian terraces on Josephine Avenue, quietly set back from the road behind leafy neighbouring front gardens.
At the front of the property is a charming separate reception room, packed full of period features such as cornicing, high ceilings, a bay window and a feature fireplace. Along the bright hallway is the spacious master bedroom, with double doors that lead onto the un-extended side return and through to the private garden, a contemporary eat-in kitchen, a sleek bathroom and another comfortable double bedroom tucked away quietly at the rear of the property. There is further access onto the secluded garden, allowing the living space to flow seamlessly onto this lovely patio area. With nearly 900 square feet of internal living space, this well-presented home is a neutral blank canvas and ready for a new purchaser to move into hassle-free. The flat also has the fantastic benefit of a large cellar, ideal for hiding away larger items.
Josephine Avenue is a highly sought-after road, in a leafy part of vibrant and thriving Brixton. Situated a ten-minute stroll to all that central Brixton has to offer, purchasers also have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the White Horse Pub. This elegant garden flat is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action while maintaining a sense of calm. The new owner will have the best of both worlds with everything on offer in the hustle and bustle of central Brixton, yet able to retire to the quieter village-like community that has been developed around Brixton Hill. First stop on the Victoria Line, Brixton tube station is a ten-minute stroll away, whisking you into central London and the City within a few minutes. The buses also offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations. The location is ideal with one of the best primary schools in Brixton, Corpus Christi, highly rated by Ofsted, at the end of the road. Sudbourne School is also a five-minute stroll and it is a similar distance to the green, open spaces of Brockwell Park and its iconic Lido. A pleasant fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes, restaurants and Sunday market of leafy Herne Hill. All in all, a real gem of a flat in a perfect location.
