Barrington Road, SW9

A generous and characterful two double bedroom apartment, arranged over the ground and first floors of a handsome Victorian school conversion, close to the heart of Brixton. Originally built in the 1850s, this imposing property is steeped in local history, first opened as Brixton Girls’ Orphanage in the late 1800s before being acquired by the Brixton School of Building, and was finally converted into luxury apartments in 1997. This characterful development has been recently renovated externally and has a lovely period façade. Once inside there are beautifully manicured shared gardens with a fish pond, the communal areas are well maintained, plus an allocated off street gated parking space and secure bike storage.

Over 1000 square feet and split over two levels, this lovely apartment truly feels like a home from the moment you walk through the door. The bedrooms are well-appointed doubles and equal in size, one with convenient built-in storage. A fully equipped and contemporary bathroom serves these two rooms that neighbour an impressive reception room, with double height ceilings, opening onto the mezzanine level above where the kitchen and dining area appealingly overlook the entertaining space below. Grand sash windows reach all the way to the upper floor, flooding the entire space with light and creating a lovely, airy atmosphere within.

The kitchen itself is a fantastic cooking area, complete with a range cooker and plenty of storage, plus enough space for a large dining table as well as a breakfast bar. The mezzanine creates a lovely unison between the two living areas, whilst still benefitting from a degree of separation. Due to the secure and beautiful surroundings, the period features and the unique characteristics of this unusually large two-bed, this property will tick boxes for a wide range of purchasers. The property benefits from an unrivalled location: just a stone’s throw from Brixton tube station (Victoria Line), as well as the restaurants, bars and cafes that make up the culinary Mecca of vibrant Atlantic Road and Coldharbour Lane. With both Brixton Village and Pop Brixton also on the doorstep, purchasers will be able to sample a different cuisine every night of the week. The beautiful greenery of Brockwell Park and its 1930s Lido are also within walking distance.
