Property details

Bright, characterful and secure, this one double bedroom first floor flat will appeal to a wide range of purchasers. This charming conversion property is situated in the heart of the ever-popular Josephine Avenue Conservation area, a quiet and leafy network of similarly attractive, Victorian terraced roads. The centre of Brixton, South London's new culinary mecca, is a thirteen-minute walk, with all it has to offer in terms of restaurants, nightlife and transport links, first stop on the Victoria tube line. Arguably London’s finest open space, Brockwell Park, with its iconic 1930s Lido, is on the doorstep. Herne Hill is a pleasant fifteen-minute walk through the park, with its village charm and eclectic array of shops and pubs. With Brixton Village, Brockwell Park, and Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants all within easy walking distance, there is something to cater for all purchasers.

The flat itself comprises an impressive open-plan reception at the front of the building, spanning the width of the property with a bright and airy atmosphere. A large bay window and feature fireplace add to the endearing period character of this charming home. There is comfortable dimensions to lounge, entertain, dine and cook with a well-appointed, integrated kitchen complete with tasteful fixtures and fittings and plenty of storage options.

The bedroom is peacefully located towards the rear of the building, overlooking the neighbouring gardens below and a stylish, modern bathroom completes the property. The flat benefits from a sympathetic layout, maximising the square footage on offer rather than wasting space on hallways. The property is decorated in tasteful tones throughout with stylish finishes, ready to move into where the purchaser may stamp their own mark over time.

Attractive inside and out, within a well-maintained Victorian house, on one of Brixton’s most desirable streets. This chain-free flat comes with a share of the freehold and access to a shared loft, ideal for storing away all those items unused on a regular basis. Leander Road is located minutes from Brockwell Park, with the heart of Brixton and the Victoria line also in easy reach. A fantastic one bedroom property that would be perfect for a first-time-buyer, buy-to-let investor or anyone looking for a delightful pied-a-terre.

Brixton area highlights

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.
