Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this large two double bedroom flat with a private section of garden for sale on Dulwich Road, set within an attractive semi-detached Victorian conversion set back from the road overlooking Brockwell Park in Herne Hill with ease of access to the amenities of Brixton.
This appealing home measures over 800 square feet of internal living space, presented as a blank canvas with the potential to add your own mark over time. Set to the upper floors this property has the best of both worlds, benefitting from an abundance of natural light and privacy, yet still having access to a private section of the garden.
To the front of the property, a sizeable reception room offers generous space in which to lounge and dine. Large sash windows flood the room with light to create a bright and airy ambience, further enhanced by high corniced ceilings. This heart of the home is the ideal space to unwind or entertain, whilst enjoying views over the surrounding rooftops with the Shard in central London beyond.
The separate kitchen is styled in a contemporary fashion with wooden work surfaces spanning black gloss cabinets which provide ample storage, white metro wall tiles offer a simple yet striking contrast. Cook up your favorite treat whilst enjoying views over Brockwell Park behind.
With the same leafy views, the principal bedroom is a particularly large double, with hanging rails and shelving already in place. A quietly peaceful space in which to relax to the sound of the birds in the gardens and park below. Rare for period conversions, the second bedroom is also a well-proportioned double, set to the opposing side of the home to allow a desirable level of privacy for both bedrooms.
Ideal for a soak in the bubbles after a jog around the park, the bathroom is equipped with a bath plus overhead rain shower, plus a heated towel rail and undersink storage. Completing the interior of this lovely home is the large and impactful entrance hall offering a bright welcome with plenty of space for further storage of daily items, or indeed a desk or dining table. For those lesser used belongings, a huge loft sits above which is owned under the freehold, providing the potential to extend subject to the necessary permissions.
If all this weren’t enough, the cherry on the cake is your own private section of the large South-facing garden, which remains unfenced as one beautifully open space, ideal for hosting BBQs or enjoying a spot of gardening in the warmer months.
The location is fantastic, with the award winning Brockwell Park behind, along with its iconic 1930’s Lido and sports facilities, it’s easy to see what makes this such a desirable residential pocket: Herne Hill station is an eight-minute walk and Central Brixton a nine-minute stroll. Victoria is accessible within sixteen minutes, Blackfriars is twenty minutes, London Bridge is twenty-four minutes and Canary Wharf is within thirty-seven minutes, door to door. The celebrated Herne Hill establishments are close-by and the restaurants and shops within the lauded Brixton Village, the amenities of the high street and first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube are within easy reach.
