Property details

A split-level, two double bedroom flat, on a sleepy road in one of Brixton’s most popular residential pockets. Medora Road is a quiet and peaceful street, perfectly positioned within close proximity to the vast greenery of Brockwell Park, and all that central Brixton has to offer.

This impressive home has been lovingly refurbished by the current owners, without distracting from the original period features, making the most of the abundance of natural light throughout. Measuring up at 800 square feet, the property offers generous proportions and is split over the first and second floors of a Victorian terraced house, amplifying the feeling of space and creating a light and airy atmosphere.

A substantial reception room spans the entire width of the building, boasting high ceilings, multiple sash windows and a feature fireplace. With comfortable lounging and dining dimensions creating a sense of grandeur, this room is ideal for hosting guests or relaxing with loved ones. A sizable kitchen sits separately at the rear of the property, well equipped with sleek modern units and all the new purchaser may need in storage and cooking space. Adjacent sits a recently updated bright and airy contemporary family bathroom, complete with both bath and shower. The bedroom on the upper floor is currently being used as a nursery and home office, yet could easily be repurposed back into a double bedroom, making the flat an ideal home for those looking to rent out a room or share with friends. Both bedrooms are generous doubles, positioned with leafy views to the rear of the property away from the street in front, which in itself is a sleepy and neighbourly residential road.

The current owners own the freehold to the entire building, so the new purchasers will benefit from owning the leasehold interest and the freehold to the whole building.

Medora Road is situated a fifteen-minute stroll to the culinary and nightlife mecca of South London, Brixton, and five minutes to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park. A fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes and restaurants of Herne Hill. Purchasers have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the ever-popular White Horse Pub, as well as neighbourhood favourite, the Elm Park Tavern, just up the road. This stylish flat is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action but wants to retain a sense of calm. The first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is a short stroll down the hill and multiple buses run up and down Brixton Hill, whisking you down to the tube within a few minutes and through into central London. The buses offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations for commuters into central London, with buses coming and going every other minute. Having access to a green space is now more important than ever for our wellbeing – luckily, the lush, open spaces of the award-winning Brockwell Park are literally opposite the flat, along with its iconic 1930’s Lido and unrivalled sports facilities. With Brockwell Park, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants and Brixton Village all on your doorstep, there really is something to cater for everyone.

Chain-free. Leasehold plus Freehold.
