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.

Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market an enviable two double bedroom, split-level, garden flat, set within a beautiful period townhouse, ideally located within easy reach of both Brixton and Stockwell.
Set back quietly from the road behind shrubbery, the property is packed with original features and inviting character from the moment you enter, including the impressive entrance hallway complete with restored original wooden staircase.
Grand and expansive the open plan reception room spans the depth of this attractive home, generous proportions lead from a lounge area, into a dining space and wrap around to the kitchen creating a sociable ambience ideal for entertaining. Unwind in style in front of an impressive cast iron original fireplace, enjoy meals in the generous dining area, framed by paneled walls reflective of the shaker style kitchen, cleverly designed to draw the space together. Cook up a tasty treat in the stunning yet practical kitchen with attractive worktops, plentiful storage and an ergonomic layout. If all this weren’t enough, there is also a separate utility cupboard in the hallway, keeping the laundry quietly and neatly tucked away.
Upstairs, both bedrooms are good-sized doubles, boasting elegant arched windows, enhanced by fanned plantation shutters bringing a unique charm to these striking rooms. In keeping with the rest of the home, the bedrooms are beautifully presented and enjoy a peaceful setting atop the house where you are your own downstairs neighbours. The principal bedroom is currently being utilised as a home office, music room and guest space, yet is equipped with built-in wardrobes for an easy transition back into a bedroom if preferred. The bathroom is well-presented, equipped with a modern shower, under sink storage and heated towel rail.
The private garden has been completely revamped by the current vendors, to create a lovely yet easy to maintain spot ready to be enjoyed the moment the weather permits, ideal for hosting al-fresco or just soaking up the rays, there is a large shed or bike store, and plenty of space for multiple seating areas. This pretty outdoor retreat is set slightly back from the building in a favourable position for capturing more sunlight, ensuring longer days of enjoyment in the summer months.
Of further benefit the property also has future expansion potential, with conditional permission having been previously granted for the erection of a single storey rear extension.
Overall, a truly wonderful home with two double bedrooms, fantastic social spaces both indoors and out with the added benefit of additional light, quietness and privacy due to the elevated positioning over the top floor of this beautiful building.
