From the colourful parade of shops that lines it pedestrianised centre, to its long-standing pubs, much-loved restaurants and renowned weekly market, Herne Hill is teeming with independent businesses and its devoted local community works hard to retain its unique charm. There are several outstanding schools and connections are great, with regular trains from Herne Hill station going to London Victoria, Blackfriars and Wimbledon. It’s crowning glory is Brockwell Park, one of the most beautiful parks in London, and its Art Deco lido and café, which are popular all year round.

Property details
Located within the Brockwell Park conservation area, this wonderfully characterful and ideally located two double bedroom garden flat is peacefully set back from the road and is arranged over the ground floor of an attractive Victorian conversion, overlooking Brockwell Park. The location cannot be understated; moments from the heart of Herne Hill’s attractive amenities and train station, with London’s most cherished outside space on the doorstep.
The property measures up at over 830 square feet and comprises a stunning reception at the front of the building, brimming with character from the bay window and hardwood floors to the original feature fireplace and high ceilings, all adding to the warm and inviting ambience of the property. The kitchen is directly connected, perfect for entertaining, and offers a handy breakfast bar as well as garden access, allowing fresh air to breeze through into the flat.
At the rear of the home, two double bedrooms are tucked away peacefully overlooking the mature, east-facing garden. The larger of the two boasts double doors out to the private outside space and the second is complete with built-in storage. Whilst still a functional double bedroom, the smaller room could easily be repurposed to suit the needs of the purchaser. A family-sized contemporary bathroom completes the property, with both a bathtub and walk-in shower.
The property is located in one of South London’s new hotspots with the pubs and restaurants of Herne Hill, the Sunday market and popular pedestrianised area around the train station all on your doorstep. Thameslink train services to Blackfriars, St Pancras and beyond to Luton, and a 10 minute service to Victoria make Herne Hill a well-connected area (for Luton and Gatwick airports, as well as, other areas of London). In the other direction Tulse Hill and West Norwood provide further amenities and shops, whilst Brixton is in walking distance, or a 5 minute bus ride.
