Josephine Avenue, SW2

A impressive example of a five/six double bedroom, Victorian end of terrace house, located on one of Brixton’s coveted residential streets, Josephine Avenue. Set within a charming conservation area, the property offers generous proportions, with nearly 2500 square feet of internal living space, just a stone’s throw from the heart of vibrant Brixton. With one of London’s best parks three minutes’ walk away, the enormous quantity and variety of night-life on offer a short walk away in Brixton, and three train stations on different lines each within easy reach as well as the tube, the location cannot be overstated.

The ground floor comprises a wide hallway with access to a spacious cellar, a bright front reception room packed full of character, including a lovely bay window, high ceilings and exquisite cornicing, and a secondary reception room adjacent – the space could be opened up to create a larger, dual-aspect living room should purchasers wish to do so. Double doors open into the un-extended side return and through to the garden. The eat-in kitchen diner tucked away at the back of the building is the perfect family hub, with space for a large dining table. Doors open onto the quiet and sunny private decked garden, a lovely space for entertaining during the spring and summer months. To the rear of the garden is a fantastic studio, flooded with natural light thanks to double skylights. With its own entrance and WC the studio is the perfect guest house or home office.

On the first floor are two of the five bedrooms, both of which are spacious doubles. The master bedroom runs the entire width of the front of the house with a bay window and views of the leafy driveway to the front of the house. Adjacent is a second modern kitchen which could be converted back into a further bedroom with ease, should purchasers require it. There is a contemporary family bathroom which serves the bedrooms on this floor, and stairs lead up to a further three double bedrooms and modern bathroom on the second floor of the property. There is also the additional benefit of a large loft space, providing extensive storage options.

Situated a ten-minute stroll to all that central Brixton has to offer, purchasers also have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the White Horse Pub. This exquisite house is ideal for anyone who wants to be close to the action while maintaining a sense of calm. The new owner will have the best of both worlds with everything on offer in the hustle and bustle of central Brixton, yet able to retire to the quieter, village-like community of Josephine Avenue and the surrounding pocket of roads. First stop on the Victoria Line, Brixton tube station is less than a ten-minute stroll away, whisking you into central London and the City within a few minutes.

The location is ideal for families, with two of the best primary schools in Brixton, Corpus Christi and Sudbourne School, highly rated by Ofsted, within a five-minute stroll and it is a similar distance to the green, open spaces of Brockwell Park. A pleasant fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes, restaurants and Sunday market of leafy Herne Hill. The village-feel continues with easy access to Dulwich Village, East Dulwich and trendy Peckham.

There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the vast square footage of the house to the quiet, neighbourhood feel and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer – a real gem of a home.
