Property details

A fantastic opportunity to renovate this classic example of a two/three double bedroom, Victorian terraced house on a highly sought-after road, perfectly located in this hugely popular residential pocket between Brixton and Herne Hill.

This charming house is a complete blank canvas, providing the perfect chance for a purchaser to use their own inspiration and refurbish throughout, resulting in a home that completely reflects their personal taste. There is huge development potential, subject to the necessary permissions, that would increase the overall square footage and value of the property. A loft and rear kitchen extension combined has the potential to create a truly spectacular space. The ground floor comprises a dual-aspect reception room occupying the front of a property, followed by a rear dining area and kitchen that opens out onto the generous peaceful garden. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, the master bedroom spanning the entire width of the house. The layout is incredibly versatile and the space can be altered to suit each individual purchaser's requirements, to create their ideal home over time.

Barnwell Road is an attractive and quiet street, a five-minute stroll from central Brixton with all it has to offer in terms of nightlife, restaurants and shopping. Leafy Herne Hill is a ten-minute walk in the opposite direction, with what many local residents regard as London's best public space, Brockwell Park, located within a stone’s throw. With Brixton Village, Brockwell Park, and Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants all on your doorstep, there is something to cater for all tastes. In short, an exceptional property packed full of potential, close to the action but far enough away to offer a calm and sleepy feel. Early registration is recommended.
