Property details
Characterful, bright and airy, this well-proportioned, split-level, two double bedroom garden flat is ideally tucked away on a residential road, within a popular pocket of Brixton. Brixton High Street is minutes away and Brockwell Park is available close by in the other direction.
The property boasts charming character throughout with high ceilings and neutral décor that adds to the appealing ambience within each room. A handsome reception occupying the front of the building benefits from a large bay window and whilst the space is perfect for lounging, the room would make a fantastic third bedroom, should the purchaser require. The heart of the home is at the rear of the building, a fantastic modern kitchen with plenty of storage, surface space and access out onto the low-maintenance, private rear garden. The kitchen feeds through to a second reception, perfect for dining but could also be used as a lounge if desired, with French doors providing a seamless feel to the outdoors.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, one adjacent to the kitchen and the second neatly arranged over the first floor. Being split over separate levels provides a desirable level of privacy, and both spaces are peacefully arranged at the rear of the building with views over the rear garden. The property is completed by a family sized bathroom also has access to a basement, ideal for storing away all those items unused on a regular basis.
Rattray Road is a highly sought-after, attractive and quiet street, in an extremely popular pocket of roads between Brixton and Herne Hill. The centre of Brixton is a five-minute walk, with all it has to offer in terms of nightlife, restaurants and shopping. Leafy Herne Hill is a ten-minute stroll in the opposite direction, with what many local residents regard as London's best green space, Brockwell Park, located within a stone’s throw. With Brixton Village, Brockwell Park, and Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants all on your doorstep, there is something to cater for all tastes. In short, an exceptional property on a desirable street, close to the action but far enough away to offer a tranquil feel.
