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 beautiful example of a four double bedroom, two bathroom Victorian terrace house, this property on Hargwyne Street Road is surrounded by similarly grand and elegant houses; either side and opposite. However, this one really is something special. With over 1600 square feet of internal living space on offer and an unrivalled location, perfectly sandwiched between amenities in Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell. This lovely period house will appeal to purchasers who are contemplating moving to all three of these sought-after locations; with a varied array of nightlife, restaurants, shops and transport links on the doorstep, purchasers will be spoiled for choice.
The property has been lovingly cared for and refurbished by the current owners and is a light and airy mix of contemporary styling and characterful features which include; period fireplaces, a wood burner, period tiling in the hallways and reclaimed Spanish tiles in the kitchen, to name a few.
The ground floor of the property comprises a double aspect lounge with a log burner and high ceilings that flows seamlessly from the dining room into the extended, stunning eat-in kitchen diner with triple glazed windows and two sets of French doors which open into the secluded South-West facing garden. This room is special; the focal piece is a central island with reclaimed Spanish tiles and light floods into the room through multiple skylights and the tinted roof window. The fittings and fixtures are of a particularly high standard and there is ample built-in storage. The mature garden is a fantastic low maintenance entertaining area with a patio, seating and raised flower beds, the ideal space to relax in the warmer months. Under stair storage and a convenient downstairs WC complete the rooms on the ground floor.
On the upper floors sit the four generous bedrooms and two family bathrooms. The two bedrooms at the front of the house are both particularly big, spanning the width of the building with feature fire places and multiple sash windows that allow natural light to flood into each room. The last two double bedrooms are comfortable double rooms with views over the neighbouring gardens at the rear and the bathrooms, like the rest of the property, are finished to a very high standard. The property has a London roof with an integral loft ladder that offers a fantastic boarded storage space and could be extended further (STPP). The house has been extended on the ground floor and set precedent on the road for the extension to add the second storey bathroom at the rear. This is an exquisite home, which could be moved into hassle-free, benefitting from the hard work that has been completed to extend and renovate, resulting in the perfect mix of period features and tasteful design.
With a comfortable square footage, four spacious double bedrooms which are similar in size and a secluded garden to match, it is hard to remind yourself that you are indeed still in the heart of Brixton, located on a sought-after, quiet, residential street. This characterful home is situated a short stroll from The Ritzy and the excellent array of shops and restaurants in Brixton Village. The location will be perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action, yet retain a sense of calm: this quiet street feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of Brixton town centre. As far as locations go, it doesn’t get much more central: Brixton station is just a five minute’s walk, first stop on the Victoria Line, arguably the best line on the London Underground for fast links into central London and beyond. The restaurants, nightlife and shopping that have made Brixton so popular are all on the doorstep, making this property an ideal purchase for anyone looking to be as close as possible to the amenities on offer. Clapham High Street and Stockwell are both within a ten-minute stroll with access to the Northern Line and the Overground, covering the wants and needs of the majority of purchasers. Freehold and registration of interest strongly advised.
