Raleigh Gardens, SW2

A wonderfully spacious one double bedroom garden flat nestled within one of Brixton’s most sought-after residential pockets. With over 800 square feet of internal space, and packed full of development potential, this is an exceptionally large one bedroom flat and a rare find. Set within the unique Raleigh Gardens, a desirable and leafy residential road tucked away off Brixton Hill, this property benefits from a quiet setting as the entrance is a no-through road, allowing access to these particular houses only.

The property is accessed on the ground floor of a handsome and imposing Victorian house and into a hallway complete with exquisite original Victorian tiling. At the front of the property is a wonderfully spacious reception room, a fantastic room with an abundance of natural light and original features, including high ceilings, original flooring, a feature fireplace, and a stunning bay window. Adjacent is the large double bedroom, a spacious room with direct access onto the private rear garden. Down the tiled hallway there is access to a spacious cellar – a fantastic option for storage. To the rear of the property is the eat-in kitchen with great dimensions, allowing for space for a dining table, providing the ideal hub in which to dine and entertain. A functional bathroom completes the rooms within the property, benefitting from a lovely sash window. Last but not least, the secluded, south-east facing private garden has plenty of potential and feels incredibly peaceful: it is easy to forget you are indeed in central Brixton, just a couple of minutes’ stroll from vibrant and buzzing Brixton Hill.

With 830 square feet of internal living space, the property is on par with two bedroom garden flats within the area and subject to the necessary permissions, the layout could be altered and extended to create a spacious two bed with an impressive living space. The flat is a complete blank canvas, ready for a purchaser to completely renovate over time, resulting in a home that is exactly to their own personal taste.

Raleigh Gardens is highly sought-after for its proximity to all that the area is known for, situated a ten-minute stroll to the heart of Brixton and a five-minute stroll 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 and restaurants of Herne Hill. The popular establishments on Brixton Hill are within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and The White Horse Pub. This characterful garden flat is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action but would prefer to retain a sense of calm. The first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is just a ten-minute walk away. There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the size and development potential, to the quiet, neighbourhood feel and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer.
