Property details

A beautiful example of a two double bedroom Victorian garden flat, located on one of Brixton’s coveted residential streets, Fairmount Road.

This characterful flat has been lovingly extended by the current owner, resulting in a beautiful home with an appealing blend of contemporary design and period features. With fantastic living space, two double bedrooms and a secluded garden to match, it is hard to remind yourself that you are, indeed, in the heart of Brixton, with easy access in and out of Central London.

Situated on Fairmount Road, an attractive residential road just off Brixton Hill, this popular street benefits from a quiet setting as the road wraps around onto Beechdale Road, which results in no through traffic, only allowing access to these particular houses on these two desirable roads. The property is only a short walk away from some of Brixton’s most popular primary schools, the local amenities of vibrant Brixton Hill, the ever popular Brockwell Park and the fantastic variety of nightlife on offer in central Brixton. With access to the Victoria line at Brixton tube station also within a ten-minute stroll and Herne Hill a pleasant fifteen-minute walk through the park, the location cannot be overstated.

The property comprises a bright hallway complete with beautiful Victorian tiling and access to a spacious cellar, a large reception room packed full of character, including a charming bay window, a feature fireplace, high ceilings and exposed wooden flooring. The eat-in kitchen diner, tucked away at the back of the building, is the perfect family hub, benefitting from large skylights and bi-folding patio doors that allow natural light to flood the room, creating an airy atmosphere. The space flows effortlessly onto the quiet and serene private garden. This sunny space is larger than the majority of gardens in the Brixton area, lovely for entertaining during the spring and summer months. Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, sharing a spacious and inviting family bathroom.

There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the style, layout, outside space, and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer – a superb flat.
