From the colourful parade of shops that lines it pedestrianised centre, to its long-standing pubs, much-loved restaurants and renowned weekly market, Herne Hill is teeming with independent businesses and its devoted local community works hard to retain its unique charm. There are several outstanding schools and connections are great, with regular trains from Herne Hill station going to London Victoria, Blackfriars and Wimbledon. It’s crowning glory is Brockwell Park, one of the most beautiful parks in London, and its Art Deco lido and café, which are popular all year round.

Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market an exceptional two double bedroom apartment with a large private garden, arranged over the ground floor of a semi-detached period property. Romola Road is a desirable street with a strong neighbourly community, within close proximity to Brockwell Park.
Tastefully decorated throughout this stunning home balances period charm with contemporary design, with over 1,000 square feet of internal space ensuing all rooms are well-proportioned.
Perfect for hosting, the dine-in kitchen is an expansive space, flooded with natural light through multiple characterful windows, these beautiful sash windows are dressed with plantation shutters with the bay providing a cosy nook in which to unwind. Original wooden flooring strikes an appealing contrast with the contemporary blue kitchen cabinetry, wrapping around to maximise worktop and storage space whilst enhancing the sociable vibe. Cook in style before dining around the table with family or friends. Bright and welcoming, the separate reception room sits adjacent, the ideal space in which to unwind, featuring high, corniced ceilings and attractive French doors leading out to the private garden.
South-West facing the private garden enjoys the best of both worlds with a low-maintenance patio area to the front, leading up to a pretty raised bed area to the rear, perfect for whiling away the summer months. Feeling worlds away from city life, this wrap-around garden is bathed in sunlight throughout the day, benefitting from additional privacy due to the leafy borders and positioning of the surrounding properties.
Both double bedrooms are nestled peacefully to the rear of the property, away from the already sleepy street, equipped with built in wardrobes and attractive wooden flooring. Conveniently set in the centre of the home, the family-sized bathroom is modern and well-equipped, with a separate shower cubicle and bathtub, plus attractive arched window.
Last yet not least, the tanked cellar offers plenty of storage, coupled with a handy utility space, keeping the laundry quietly tucked away. Of further benefit the home has been decorated throughout in Farrow & Ball, and the flat roof replaced in 2023.
Romola Road is a desirable leafy street within the Deronda Triangle, with a strong community, annual summer street party and the option to join an email group with the surrounding neighbours.
