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
A wonderfully bright, four bedroom, Edwardian family freehold home. This charming home is has been beautifully presented by the current owners, whilst making the most of its charming characterful features and high ceilings throughout. Perfectly positioned on this in-demand residential road, Blenheim Gardens is an attractive and peaceful street, located just off vibrant and trendy Brixton Hill, a ten-minute walk to the centre of Brixton.
The ground floor comprises a generous entrance hall, leading into a bright and spacious reception room at the front of the property, complete with an attractive bay window, cornicing, and a delightful feature fireplace. Adjacent is a large dining room which flows seamlessly onto the eat-in bespoke kitchen diner to the rear – the space has been opened up to provide an ideal family hub, a fantastic area in which to dine and entertain. The stylish, modern kitchen is tasteful and complete with all the mod cons, and doors that open onto the well-manicured, south-east facing rear garden. The lovely decked terrace is the perfect spot for relaxing in throughout the summer months.
Upstairs on the first floor, sit the four bedrooms: the master bedroom at the front of the property is an airy double room, offering views over the attractive neighbouring terraces. Two further double bedrooms are tucked away to the rear, plus a fourth single room, ideal for use as a study, nursery or dressing room. A contemporary family bathroom completes the rooms on the first floor. The property has the additional benefit of a large loft which could be converted into a further bedroom as neighbouring houses on the road have done. The property could also be extended into the side return, increasing the total square footage, subject to the necessary permissions.
The 200-year-old, Grade II listed, iconic tourist attraction, Brixton Windmill, with its local park and playground is situated at the end of Blenheim Gardens.
The property is a 10-minute walk from what many local people claim as the best park in London, Brockwell Park. The cafés, restaurants and local pubs of Brixton Hill are on your doorstep, whilst two of Brixton’s most sought-after primary schools are also within a stone’s throw. The property benefits from all that Brixton offers, from the celebrated cuisine in Brixton Village to the music venues and nightlife the area is famous for and the first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station, a ten minute walk away.
There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the style, secluded road, generous room sizes, outside space, and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer – this house will tick a lot of boxes for a wide range of purchasers.
