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 superb two bedroom, two bathroom apartment, located within Brixton’s most cherished conservation area, is a rare find: nestled within this perfectly designed, modern development, yet with all the charm and character of a Victorian property. The development, set back from Josephine Avenue was built around five years ago with tremendous attention to detail, mock-Victorian elegance and luxury, whilst being engineered to meet all the requirements of modern living. With the rolling greenery of the award-winning Brockwell Park a three minute walk away, the enormous variety of night-life and restaurants on offer ten minutes away in Brixton, the location cannot be overstated.
At the front of the property, the open plan kitchen/reception room is a bright and stylish space with ample room for dining, relaxing and entertaining. The space benefits from an abundance of natural light thanks to multiple floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors that open out to the courtyard. This direct outside space has access from both bedrooms as well as the reception, meaning a light and breezy atmosphere can flow through the flat. The shaker-style kitchen oozes charm whilst offering a high standard of practicality, with plenty of storage and top of the range appliances, finished with a desirable island; perfect for a casual breakfast or entertaining.
The bedrooms are located at opposite ends of the property, almost identical in size, with plenty of light and floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to the outside. One with an en-suite bathroom and the other neighbouring a family sized bathroom, the layout of this property could not be more ideal for a buy-to-let or anyone looking to share with a sibling or friend. The entire flat has been finished to a high and tasteful standard, the bathrooms are no exception to this.
Further benefits include a large, well-maintained, shared rear garden, secure bike storage and off-street parking (operating on a first-come, first-served basis). Nestled amongst Victorian terraces on the ever popular, tree-lined Josephine Avenue, the property can only be recognised as a modern build by the higher level of detailing and crispness of its features within, with the shapes, lines, light and feel only available from the very best of contemporary building design.
Situated a ten-minute stroll to all that central Brixton has to offer, the popular establishments on Brixton Hill are also easily reached at the end of the road, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the White Horse Pub. This elegant apartment is ideal for anyone who wants to be close to the action while maintaining a sense of calm. The new owner will have the best of both worlds, with everything on offer in the hustle and bustle of central Brixton, yet will be able to retire to the quieter, village-like community that has been developed around Brixton Hill. First stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is only a ten-minute stroll away, whisking you into central London and the City within a few minutes.
