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
A spacious and well-presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat, in a Victorian mansion block close to the action in thriving Brixton. Canterbury Crescent is a five-minute walk from Brixton’s popular hangouts; Pop Brixton, Market Row and Brixton Village where you will have endless options of fine dining, bistro and street food as well as a rich nightlife to choose from.
The apartment comprises a spacious reception room, with large bay sash windows flooding the room with natural light, perfect for relaxing and entertaining guests, adjacent is a stylish eat-in kitchen with integrated appliances and space for a large dining table. There is a natural flow from the living area through to the kitchen, creating a sociable space with a distinct separation between kitchen and lounge. The two bedrooms are tucked away at the back of the building, the principal bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite bathroom, and the second room is a comfortable double room with built-in storage, currently configured as a home office but would work perfectly for anyone looking to rent out a second bedroom or share with friends. The bedrooms are separated by the attractive family bathroom, creating a desirable level of privacy. Furthermore, the flat has a dedicated utility space off the hallway.
The entire block was renovated with high-quality workmanship in 2003/4, installing new double glazing and sound insulation in all of the apartments, meaning low energy costs and no disturbing neighbours if you want to have a dinner party. The flat has close to 800 square feet of internal living space, plus the use of a shared private courtyard at the rear, with bike storage, and will appeal to a wide range of potential purchasers.
The transport links are second to none, with only a five-minute walk to Brixton underground station, the first stop of the Victoria Line with a short commute to the city. The property is a 30-second walk from multiple bus stops taking you all across London. The location is ideal with the green, open spaces of the award-winning Brockwell Park, one of South London’s most popular parks, within walking distance, and Wyck gardens just a short stroll away. Brixton Recreation Centre is a minute walk away with a gym, swimming pool and squash courts to name a few, there is something for everyone.
