Property details

A stunning split-level apartment arranged over the first and second floors of an attractive, purpose-built block, perfectly located a short walk to both Brixton and Clapham High Streets. This bright and airy property is minutes from the heart of Brixton with Brixton tube station, the extremely popular Brixton Village, POP Brixton, large brand-shops and the green open spaces of Brockwell Park with its iconic lido, all within a short stroll. Potential purchasers will benefit from fantastic transport links which include access to the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station), the Northern Line (Clapham North and Clapham Common tube stations), the over ground service at Clapham High Street Station and Brixton Station, plus multiple buses running into central London. The bars, restaurants and supermarkets on Acre Lane are also a short stroll away. The amenities of Clapham High Street are around a 10-minute walk, including cracking nightlife and culinary delights. The cafes and boutique stores in Clapham Old Town and Abbeville Village are within reach and the green open spaces of Clapham Common are also easily accessible.

On entering this charming property, you are met by the kitchen and eat-in reception room. The living room has a warm inviting feel, the ideal space to entertain or relax and unwind with wooden flooring, high ceilings and large sash windows that flood the space with sunlight and fresh air, overlooking the neighbouring treetops. The contemporary shaker-style kitchen sits adjacent to the living room and has a high-quality finish while efficiently utilising all of the space on offer.

Originally configured as two separate flats, this spacious apartment has nearly a thousand square feet of internal living space, with fantastic room dimensions throughout. The principal bedroom is a perfect example of this, being larger than a lot of the average reception rooms within other flats in this price bracket. Any purchasers looking to work from home or plan on sharing with friends will have more than enough space to meet their requirements and they can reconfigure the generous layout to suit their individual search requirements. The further two bedrooms are both well-proportioned doubles, one of which benefits from direct access to a pretty balcony, ideal for the warmer months and watching the world go by in the evening. The current owner has conveniently utilised this room as a home office. The bedrooms share a beautifully tiled contemporary bathroom, consisting of a stunning freestanding roll-top bath, a walk in shower, and attractive silver fixtures and fittings. Conveniently, there is a second WC also tucked away on this floor.

There is optional off-road parking, a bike shed, communal gardens, an outside gym and a community centre where residents can enjoy an annual carol concert as well as other appropriate festivities such as the firework display. The strong sense of community between residents doesn’t end here as people are also encouraged to get involved with flower-basket planting and the allotment. All in all a brilliant three bedroom flat offering convenience, character and quality within a lovely local community moments from the heart of Brixton and with easy access to Clapham High Street.
