Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this beautiful one double bedroom garden flat, set within an appealing blue Victorian house. Nestled peacefully on an attractive residential road within the desirable Ruskin community, one of the area’s most sought-after pockets offering a village-esq, neighbourly feel.
Reconfigured and renovated entirely during the course of ownership, this charming home has been lovingly cared for by the current vendors, yet still has further potential with the opportunity to develop the side return into a larger open plan reception, converting the property into two double bedrooms, subject to necessary permissions.
The spacious separate reception room is located at the front of the building with ample room to relax and lovely light, further enhanced by the positioning on the street, and high ceilings, complete with a handy elevated storage nook. Along the beautifully tiled hallway, the dine-in kitchen sits to the rear, ideal for entertaining with pretty views over the garden. Boasting a county feel, wooden surfaces and shelving are complimented by crisp white tiling and shaker style cabinetry, integrating appliances and offering ample storage options. Dual aspect windows create a bright and inviting ambience, casting natural light over the large dining table.
Patio doors open to allow fresh air to breeze through the room, leading out to the private garden, making al-fresco dining an ease. South-facing the garden is decked creating a low-maintenance spot that can be dressed with potted greenery and light features to easily create an outdoor retreat to your tastes. There is the additional benefit of a rear gate and covered storage, advantageous for those with bikes or prams, with the potential to repurpose such as into a cosy covered seating area.
Nestled peacefully in the centre of this lovely home, the bedroom is a generous double with fitted wardrobes, high ceilings and cosy carpets creating a soothing space to unwind. Adjacent the stylish bathroom boasts a walk-in rain shower, featuring trendy black fittings and finished with vibrant chevron tiled flooring and undersink storage. A cupboard under the stairs offers additional storage solutions.
The flat is well-located, within the desirable Ruskin community, close to Herne Hill and minutes from the increasingly popular Loughborough Junction and a two-minute stroll to Ruskin Park. The Ruskin community is a close-knit village like pocket of residential streets with a welcoming and homely feel where there is a WhatsApp group and regular social activities including weekly tennis and yoga lessons. With multiple schools, Ruskin and Brockwell Parks, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants plus Brixton and Dulwich all on your doorstep, there is something to cater for all potential purchasers.
There are excellent transport links to the city within walking distance with access to Thameslink services (Loughborough Junction and Herne Hill), the East London Line (Denmark Hill) and the Underground (start of the Victoria Line at Brixton). An appealing home in a lovely area with local shops and the Whirled Cinema on the doorstep, close to Herne Hill and Brixton town centres but far enough away to retain a sleepy, neighbourhood feel.
