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
With almost 900 square feet, this spacious, two double bedroom Victorian converted flat, is split over three levels and situated in an extremely popular residential pocket, on a particularly sought-after road nestled within the Josephine Avenue conservation area. This property is beautifully finished and makes the most of its large rooms and open spaces flooded with natural light.
The separate living space features high ceilings, wooden floorboards, a bay window and a period fireplace. This fantastic room is full of appealing character, creating a perfect atmosphere to entertain or relax and unwind. The eat-in kitchen diner is ideally located close to the entertaining space with room for a large dining table. The heart of the home has all you need in terms of mod cons with an abundance of storage and surface space. A central staircase meanders up through the property and the two double bedrooms are both comfortable double rooms on separate floors, making the property ideal for anyone looking to rent out a second room or share with friends. The second of the bedrooms is peacefully tucked away at the top of the building offering views across the surrounding neighbourhood with a lovely feature fireplace and access to substantial non demised loft space.
The location is highly desirable, within a couple of minutes walk from Brockwell Park - claimed by some as the finest in London. It boasts tennis courts, a walled garden, a gorgeous lido and extraordinary views over the capital. The pubs, bars and restaurants of Brixton Hill and Effra Road are a two-minute walk. While the property benefits from all that Brixton offers, from the open-air eateries of Brixton Village to the music venues and nightlife the area is famous for. Brixton tube and overground station is a ten-minute stroll down Brixton Hill – Brixton is the first stop on the Victoria Line and your seat is guaranteed. While all that Herne Hill has to offer, including its ten-minute trains into the city, are just a tranquil thirteen-minute walk through beautiful Brockwell Park.
The road itself is very quiet, with a car being quite an unusual sight, you can literally hear a pin drop. There’s also a great sense of community alongside the adjoining roads with pedestrianised street parties and art fairs on the annual calendar. All in all, there are not many split-level properties on the market of this size, packed full of characterful features in such a sought-after location.
