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 beautiful example of a three double bedroom period house, this property on Elm Park has an attractive, double-fronted façade and is nestled on a desirable road set quietly off Brixton Hill, perfectly situated for anyone wanting to be close to the action yet far enough away to retain a sense of calm. Brixton town centre and Brixton Village are a short stroll down Brixton Hill or a three-minute bus ride. Brockwell Park is a seven-minute walk, which many local residents champion as one of London's best parks, across which is Herne Hill station within a fifteen-minute walk. Elm Park conveniently has a range of amenities further down the road with a recently renovated neighbourhood pub serving great food with a diverse range of beers. At the end of the road is vibrant Brixton Hill and its brilliant array of cafes, pubs and restaurants, such as F Mondays, Pizza Brixton, and the White Horse pub, to name a few.
The property has over 1300 square feet of internal living space and the ground floor comprises two impressive dual-aspect rooms. On one side an airy and spacious reception room, running the length of the house and providing access to the low-maintenance patio-garden. On the other side, an impressive kitchen diner, offering ample room to dine and entertain, a kitchen equipped for a passionate home cook and a stream of skylights that flood the room with sunlight. There is also a handy utility room, and a basement, ideal for storage. Arranged over the upper floors, three considerably well-proportioned double bedrooms, all offering built-in storage and two contemporary family bathrooms.
All in all, an unusually spacious and attractive family home in a friendly street, which is crying out for someone to move in hassle-free and stamp their own mark over time. The new purchasers will benefit from all that both Brixton and Herne Hill have to offer. Early registration is recommended. Freehold.
