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 appealing two double bedroom flat with a private garden, within a Victorian house in a popular residential pocket between Brixton and Clapham. Kingswood Road is a neighbourly street, with an annual street party, positioned close to the action of both Brixton and Clapham, yet far enough away to retain a sense of calm - enhanced by the recent Low Traffic Neighbourhood - with a community-run pub and shops at the top of the road.
A bright reception room at the front of the property offers substantial space in which to unwind. Bespoke shelving and a touch of charming character will endear any buyer through classic Victorian embellished ceilings, original sash windows and wooden floorboards, this wonderful room is sure to be used on a regular basis. The separate kitchen provides all you need in terms of storage within neutral modern cabinetry topped with wooden worktops and finished with a pretty sash window above the sink and a gas hob.
Ideal for sharers, both double bedrooms are set away from one another whilst still being peacefully tucked away from the street, enjoying a sense of calm with leafy views over the garden. The larger of the two is set to the rearmost of the home, with a sash window and ample room for the traditional bedroom furnishings, the second bedroom has characterful floorboards with space for a desk or dressing table if desired and boasts a French door to the garden, creating a dreamy setting for enjoying lazy mornings. Neutrally presented, the bathroom is equipped with a bathtub plus shower, set underneath a sash window creating a bright ambience.
The icing on the cake is the private wrap-around garden, enjoy entertaining on the deck or tending to plants around the borders of the lawn. Precedent has also been set on the road should the new owner wish to seek the necessary permissions to extend the property in the future. Of further benefit, the underlying lease has been renewed by the vendor and the property has been freshly painted throughout. In short, a superb flat with great potential and a light and airy mix of original features on a desirable street.
Kingswood Road is a popular street forming part of the Low Traffic Neighbourhood and prides itself on its real sense of community, with residents enjoying annual street parties and a welcoming, neighbourly atmosphere, with Richard Atkins School at the top of the road. On the doorstep there are two large-brand supermarkets, off-licences and a gym. The property is a twenty-minute walk or swift bus ride to both Brixton and Clapham and all that these two in-demand areas have to offer. Situated a similar distance from both locations, potential purchasers will take advantage of some of the best transport links for a speedy route into central London, with the options of first stop on the Victoria Line, the Northern Line, the Overground, trains and multiples buses that run up and down both Kings Avenue and Brixton Hill. Potential purchasers will benefit from fantastic local amenities, a few examples include the green open spaces of Brockwell Park with its 1930s Lido and Clapham Common, and all that Brixton Village, POP Brixton, Clapham High Street and Clapham Old Town have to offer in terms of food and festivities. Abbeville Village is a short stroll through the quiet residential streets, just the other side of Kings Avenue, and the Venn Street Market by Clapham Common tube is the perfect place to whittle down a few hours on a Saturday afternoon.
