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 stunning example of a one-bedroom split level apartment in excellent condition, nestled on the top floor flat of an attractive Victorian converted townhouse.
This property has recently been refurbished throughout with new carpets, blinds, tiling and has been newly painted.
Tucked away quietly at the back of the building is a comfortable double bedroom, fitted with brand new premium built-in wardrobes that come with a 10-year guarantee. Skylights and natural light are a running theme throughout this spacious apartment and the bedroom is no exception. The ceilings are vaulted which adds to the bright and airy atmosphere and the window seat looks out over the neighbouring gardens at the rear. Sitting adjacent is the contemporary bathroom which is beautifully finished and includes a heated towel rail.
Stairs lead to the wonderful open-plan living space which is elegantly styled with bamboo flooring and a stylish glass bannister. There are multiple skylights which have been fitted with solar-powered blinds and the icing on the cake is the Juliet balcony that overlooks the back of the building without being overlooked. The kitchen has been finished to a high standard with brand new tiling, high gloss cupboards and integrated appliances. A fantastic entertaining area with ample room to relax and dine.
This handsome Victorian terrace is nestled within a popular pocket of SW2, sandwiched between Brixton and Clapham. The cafes, bars and restaurants of up-and-coming Acre Lane are easily accessible, with local heroes such as Boqueria Tapas, The Beast of Brixton, and Blank Coffee, to name a few, all on the doorstep.

In the other direction, vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street offering cracking nightlife, culinary delights and the green open spaces of Clapham Common. A short 10-minute stroll brings you to Abbeville Village with an abundance of local shops including The Ginger Pig butchers, MacFarlanes Dairy and charming pub; The Abbeville. Potential purchasers will benefit from the Northern Line (Clapham North and Clapham Common tube stations) and the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station).
