College Green Court, Barrington Road, SW9

A fantastic split level, two double bedroom apartment within this historic Victorian school conversion, located in the heart of Brixton.

Originally built in the 1850s, this imposing property is steeped in local history, first opened as Brixton Girls’ Orphanage in the late 1800s before being acquired by the Brixton School of Building, and was finally converted into luxury apartments in 1997. This characterful development has been recently renovated externally and has a lovely period facade. Once inside there are beautifully manicured shared gardens with a fish pond, the communal areas are well maintained and there is secure bike storage. This particular apartment also benefits from an allocated off-street gated parking space, as well as an unrivaled location: just a stone’s throw from Brixton tube station (Victoria Line), as well as the restaurants, bars and cafes that make up the culinary Mecca of vibrant Atlantic Road and Coldharbour Lane. With both Brixton Village and Pop Brixton also on the doorstep, purchasers will be able to sample a different cuisine every night of the week. The beautiful greenery of Brockwell Park and its 1930s Lido are also within walking distance.

This spacious apartment is split over the first and second floors and offers generous proportions throughout. Large sash windows, which have all been refurbished recently, allow an abundance of natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. The flat is a blank canvas, neutrally finished and perfect for anyone who wants to move in hassle-free and stamp their own mark on a property over time. On the first floor, the separate reception room provides ample space in which to relax, dine and entertain, whilst the contemporary kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need in terms of mod cons and storage space. Adjacent is the first of the two bedrooms, a comfortable double room, tucked away quietly to the rear of the property and overlooking the grounds. Up a flight of stairs is the modern bathroom, and further generous double bedroom benefitting from some large fitted wardrobes. The bedrooms are on separate levels which provides a sense of privacy, making the property an attractive proposition for anyone looking to rent out a bedroom or share with friends.

The property boasts nearly 900 square feet of internal living space and with the living space and master bedroom on separate floors, the property feels like a home. Early registration of interest is highly advised.

All in all, an exceptional property and a rare find, the flat is likely to appeal to a wide range of purchasers, from first-time buyers to buy-to-let investors alike.
