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 beautifully presented two double bedroom apartment with a private balcony and a distinctive loft feel. The apartment benefits from a top floor position within a popular art deco residential block on the centrally-located Effra Road.
The reception room is exceptionally spacious and boasts a huge Crittal-style window, which floods the room with daylight. The modern kitchen is tasteful, provides plenty of storage and has the added luxury of integrated appliances.
The master bedroom displays the same Crittal-style windows and matching doors that open out onto the private balcony, which offers far reaching views across the city. The second bedroom is of a fair size and both come with built-in storage. The apartment is completed by a three-piece bathroom, including a characterful free standing roll-top bath.
This fantastic flat has been stylishly renovated by its art-loving owner, who has injected a thoroughly contemporary aesthetic whilst accentuating the characterful and well-maintained original features like the exposed floorboards and the original doors and handles. It offers multiple advantages such as the privacy attributed to being at the top floor, use of a brand new lift, a readily available care-taker and a close-knit neighbourhood community feel.
