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
This fantastically located two double bedroom Victorian conversion flat is perfectly positioned on Glenelg Road, a sleepy residential street, within close proximity to the amenities and transport links in central Brixton, yet far enough away to retain a sense of calm. This beautifully airy first floor property offers fantastic living space, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, and truly feels like a home, as soon as you walk through the door.
The property comprises two double bedrooms, occupying the front of the house and overlooking the sleepy Victorian street below. A large reception room follows on, spanning the width of the property and overlooking the leafy gardens to the rear. The flat is characterful, true to the period in which it was built, benefitting from high ceilings, pretty sash windows and an attractive feature fireplace. The reception feeds into a well-equipped kitchen-diner with plenty of space to cook, entertain and dine comfortably. Completing the property, a sleek white contemporary bathroom and an attractive balcony, the ideal spot to soak up the sun in privacy during the warmer months. The flat further benefits from a demised loft, ideal for storage and provides the potential to extend providing an overall larger footprint and increasing the value of the property (STPP).
Glenelg Road is a quiet and peaceful residential street, located equidistant to amenities in both Brixton and Clapham, appealing to purchasers looking to buy in both of these sought-after neighbourhoods. The Northern and Victoria tube lines in Clapham and Brixton respectively are both within a ten to fifteen-minute walk, whilst the cafes, bars and restaurants of up-and-coming Acre Lane are easily accessible, with local heroes such as Boqueria Tapas, The Beast of Brixton, and Blank Coffee, to name a few, all on the doorstep. In one direction there is all Brixton has to offer with Brockwell Park and the extremely popular Brixton Village, to large brand shops and first-rate transport links. In the other direction is the vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street, offering great nightlife, and the green open spaces of Clapham Common. Well-heeled Abbeville Village is also within walking distance, with its multitude of boutiques, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants.
