Property details

An exceptional example of a one bedroom garden flat, nestled on the ground floor of a handsome Victorian terraced house, located on a peaceful and sleepy street, with easy access to Brixton, Streatham Hill, Clapham, Balham and Tulse Hill. Cotherstone Road is a quiet neighbourly terrace situated in the extremely popular residential pocket of Holmewood Gardens, surrounding a pretty garden square with a children’s playground. Purchasers benefit from being tucked away in this calm pocket whilst being a short stroll from Sainsbury’s on Brixton Hill, where buses run every couple of minutes to Brixton centre and beyond.

The property has been beautifully presented by the current owners, with a mix of characterful features and contemporary design. To the front is a separate reception room boasting high, shadow-corniced ceilings, wooden flooring, a wide bay window with shutters and a feature fireplace. Following on is a bright and spacious kitchen, the sleek modern finish compliments charming period features and offers ample storage, complete with sociable breakfast bar. The kitchen opens out to the side return of the garden, allowing fresh air and light to breeze through the room creating a lovely atmosphere throughout.

The bedroom resides peacefully at the rear of the property, offering built in wardrobes, additional storage and space for a desk or dressing table. A truly tranquil and appealing space to relax and unwind, the bedroom opens out into your own secluded, South East facing garden, a lovely space for entertaining or relaxing during the warmer months. The bathroom is tastefully finished, with a roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower. Subject to the necessary permissions, there is the opportunity to convert this charming home into a two bedroom property by extending into the side-return for which the current owners have planning consent. More information available upon request.

The area is highly sought after for its neighbourly charm, created by the green spaces of Holmewood Gardens and proximity to Brixton, Streatham Hill and Clapham. Streatham Hill station is a twelve-minute walk with direct trains into Clapham Junction, Victoria and London Bridge. Within an eighteen minute walk, you reach the centre of Brixton and Clapham Common is twenty-one minutes away.

On one hand you have everything that Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the culinary delights of Brixton Village to large brand-shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria Line. On the other hand, you have Streatham High Street and its multitude of restaurants and bars. Brockwell Park, Tooting and Balham Common, and Clapham Common are all within walking distance. Having the South Circular on your doorstep and the option for on-street permit parking the location is perfect for those with a vehicle.

Overall a fantastic first time purchase for anyone looking to benefit from a tranquil home, close to green spaces with the ability to grow into the property and plenty of storage throughout, added to by the inclusion of a useful cellar.
