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
An exciting opportunity to purchase a unique two double bedroom, split-level apartment, set within a highly sought-after Victorian school conversion on a leafy residential road, located in-between Clapham and Brixton High Streets.
This beautifully presented apartment is split over the third, fourth and fifth floors, offering over 1100 square feet of internal living space, meaning this apartment is larger than some freehold houses. Arranged over the initial floor of this home, a fantastic open-plan living space, packed with impactful features. Double-height sash windows flood the eat-in kitchen with natural light, a fantastic entertaining space with plenty of room to cook and dine in style, complete with a large breakfast bar and significant storage, as well as enough space for a large dining table if desired. The reception area is spacious yet cosy, making the most of the area nestled beneath the mezzanine level.
On the floor above, an open hallway that could double up as a second reception/ snug room or perhaps a home office, provides access to the second bedroom (mezzanine level) and provides access to the shared outside area (non-demised and shared with one other apartment), the perfect South-facing spot to soak up some sun during the warmer months and the double doors allow airflow into bright and airy apartment. The second bedroom is ready to use and is fully equipped with a modern en-suite bathroom, however it could easily be repurposed to suit the needs of a purchaser. On the fifth floor of the building, the striking principal bedroom shows off in style with vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork and a stunning freestanding bath tub. The property also comes with a private, allocated parking spot.
This property is a truly unique offering for anyone seeking their own private haven, away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to both Brixton and Clapham to enjoy all the benefits that these in demand areas have to offer. The cafes, bars and restaurants of Brixton are all within walking distance, with Brixton Village, POP Brixton, The Ritzy cinema and the legendary Brixton Academy all at your fingertips. A short walk in the other direction takes you to Clapham High Street offering vibrant nightlife and culinary delights and the charming Abbeville Village. The purchaser will benefit from the Northern Line (Clapham North and Clapham Common tube stations), the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station) and the buses of Brixton Hill which arrive every few minutes whisking you down to central Brixton and beyond.
