Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market a characterful two double bedroom split-level flat with large shared garden for sale within a Victorian property in one of the most popular, quiet residential pockets 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 multiple shops a two-minute walk at the top of the road.

This appealing and charming home measures over 1,100 square feet of internal space, set to the upper floors with the best of both worlds, benefitting from an abundance of natural light yet still having direct access to the garden.

There are two reception rooms on offer, firstly an expansive reception to the front of the home spans the width of the house, bathed with natural light from multiple sash windows, creating a pleasant atmosphere. This versatile space enjoys characterful features inclusive of original floorboards and corniced ceilings, an inviting room to be savoured from a relaxing spot on the sofa with generous proportions for a desk or additional dining table if desired. The second reception is currently a homely, country-style dining room, finished with a table in front of the original sash windows, perfect for hosting friends and loved ones. The separate kitchen is well-equipped with generous storage space on offer within sleek yet vibrant cabinetry, topped with ample wooden worktop space down both sides.

Accessed from the kitchen for an ease of transition to al-fresco dining, the garden is spacious, laid to patio which is framed by planted borders, adding greenery. This is a low maintenance spot, ideal for relaxing with a good book or enjoying a BBQ with the downstairs neighbours, with whom this generous space is shared.

A rarity for period properties both bedrooms are generously proportioned double bedrooms, set to differing floors of the home to allow a desirable level of privacy for each, ideal for sharers or those looking to rent out a room. The bedroom on the first floor is equipped with an abundance of fitted wardrobe space, whilst the upstairs bedroom benefits from a capacious storage nook, leading to further storage within the eaves. Luxuriously roomy, the bathroom is opulent yet soothing, boasting a free-standing bath tub, ideal for a soak in the bubbles with leafy views through the sash window.

Not to be underestimated, on top of the copious storage in the eaves, there is a further cupboard in the upper landing, plus a loft for storing away those essential items not needed on a daily basis. This charming home also had a new Vaillant boiler installed in 2022.

The location is fantastic, 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 and the option to join a street WhatsApp group.

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 with it's upmarket independent shops, bars and cafes 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.
