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 stamp your own mark on this appealing two double bedroom flat, arranged over the first floor of an attractive Victorian terrace on Horsford Road.
Open-plan living and minimal hallways help to maximise the square footage on offer. Occupying the front of the building and spanning it’s entire width is a bright and characterful open-plan reception. High ceilings, a large bay window and a feature fireplace all pay tribute to the charming period in which the original house was built. This flat is ideal for sharers because the communal space is sociable and the bedrooms are separated. There is enough space to dine as well as relax, unwind or host guests with the kitchen tucked to the side, opening out onto the entertaining space. A modern and contemporary finish, some appliances are integrated and there is plenty of storage.
Both bedrooms are fairly equal doubles in peaceful positions within the building, overlooking the neighbouring gardens at the rear. The bedrooms share a contemporary bathroom, neutrally decorated and the flat is in good condition throughout.
Horsford Road is situated an eight-minute stroll to central Brixton, and a five-minute stroll to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park. A fourteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes and the market in leafy Herne Hill. Purchasers will have the amenities on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the White Horse Pub. The location is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action, yet retain a sense of calm. First stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is a short stroll down the hill and multiple buses run up and down Brixton Hill, whisking you down to the tube within a few minutes and onwards into central London.
