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 purchase a nicely proportioned two double bedroom apartment, overlooking one of London’s most popular parks. This top floor Victorian conversion is secure and located on a highly sought-after residential road that runs parallel to Brockwell Park. Brailsford Road is a quiet, Victorian terraced street which is a ten-minute walk to Brixton tube station and has an entrance to Brockwell Park actually on the road itself.
As locations go, it is fantastic. A short walk to the centre of Brixton, Brockwell Park (lauded as London's best outdoor space by locals with its amazing lido among its myriad attractions) on your doorstep and a large Sainsbury’s within a minute’s walk. Various cafes, pubs and restaurants, such as Maremma, the Sympathetic Ear, The Hootenanny and Naughty Piglets are also all a short walk away. Herne Hill is a lovely fifteen-minute walk through the park, with its village charm, farmers market and eclectic array of shops and pubs. With Brixton Village, Brockwell Park, and Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants all on your doorstep, there is something to cater for all purchasers and the property will appeal to purchasers considering moving to both these in-demand areas.
The living space is fantastic, a bright and appealing open-plan room that provides comfortable dimensions for dining and relaxing, the country style kitchen with exposed wooden shelving is characterful, with plenty of storage and worktop space. The master bedroom is generous and the second is also a comfortable double and they both share lovely views overlooking the green open spaces of Brockwell Park. A contemporary bathroom with pretty tiling completes this lovely flat. The square footage is utilized thoughtfully, without wasting any space on dull and lifeless hallways, the property would be ideal for a first-time buyer, someone looking to share with friends or as a buy-to-let investment.
The property further comes with a share of the freehold, exclusive access to large loft space and a share of the basement, ideal for storage.
