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 fantastic two double bedroom, purpose built flat, tucked away securely on the first floor, set within a quiet mews off Acre Lane. This charming property was built with modern living in mind and offers a large open-plan living space and two well-proportioned bedrooms.
The master bedroom is considerably large, offering built-in storage and stunning glass bi-folding doors that open out to a private south-facing balcony, the ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee and watch the world go by all the way through to evening drink, as in the summer this spot benefits from a full 8 hours of sun. The second bedroom is also a decent double, offering built-in storage and a large floor to ceiling window, providing the room with an abundance of natural light. The living area is a brilliant spot to relax and unwind or entertain guests. The open-plan layout makes the most of the square footage on offer, rather than wasting extra space on unnecessary hallways. A modern kitchen, with integrated appliances and a sleek white gloss finish occupies one side of the room, whilst the other side is a cosy living area, with enough room to dine. The room is completed by a charming Juliet balcony, allowing fresh air and light to flood the room. The flat is completed by a smart, modern bathroom. The property comes with an allocated, off-road parking space.
The property is a short five-minute stroll down Acre Lane to the centre of Brixton, and first stop on the Victoria Line (arguably London’s favourite Underground Line, being an 11 minute journey to Oxford Circus). Close by, vibrant Brixton Hill and its brilliant array of cafes, pubs and restaurants, such as The Naughty Piglets, Maremma, F Mondays, Pizza Brixton, and the White Horse pub, to name a few. The extremely popular Brixton Village and POP Brixton also offer countless options for cuisine and the lush, green open spaces of the award-winning Brockwell Park are just a short stroll away, along with its iconic 1930’s Lido and unrivalled sports facilities. A pleasant walk through the park will bring you to leafy Herne Hill and all that this village-like neighbourhood has to offer. In the other direction, purchasers will also benefit from everything that Clapham has to offer within a fifteen-minute walk: there are a multitude of restaurants, boutique shops and coffee shops on the High Street, Abbeville Village and Venn Street. There are excellent transport links with access to the Overground at Clapham High Street station and two Northern Line underground stations; Clapham Common and Clapham North tube stations.
