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 large, delightfully arranged flat occupying the whole ground floor of one of the lovely converted period townhouses on Fairmount Road. The property has a stunning, larger than average, south-west facing private garden which is perfect for entertaining and relaxing. At the front of the building there is a separate reception room, complete with high ceilings, a bay window and a feature fireplace. As you proceed through the property you pass a large double bedroom with double doors that lead onto the un-extended side return and through to the garden, a modern kitchen with ample storage, a fresh bathroom and another comfortable double bedroom tucked away quietly at the rear of the property. The bedroom also has direct access onto the garden, allowing the living space to flow seamlessly onto the patio. The flat is an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to move in hassle free and stamp their own mark over time. The property will appeal to a wide range of purchasers, from owner occupiers, first time buyers and buy-to-let investors alike.
Fairmount is situated a ten minute walk to the new culinary and nightlife mecca of South London, Brixton and a five minute stroll to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park. A fifteen minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes and restaurants of Herne Hill. Purchasers have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance and they include F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the White Horse Pub. This characterful garden flat is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action but would prefer to avoid the car horns, and noise of late night revellers. First stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is a short stroll down the hill and multiple buses run up and down Brixton Hill, whisking you down to the tube within a few minutes and through into central London. The buses offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations for commuters into the city centre. Fortunately this flat is a stone's throw from a local bus stop with buses coming and going every other minute. There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the style and the stunning outside space to the quiet neighbourhood feel and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer - we really like it. Share of freehold. Chain free.
