Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this attractive and versatile three bedroom apartment with allocated off-street parking. Arranged over the first floor of a semi-detached Victorian house, set back from the street on Norwood Road in Herne Hill, moments from Brockwell Park.
This wonderful property has been a cherished home for many years, lovingly tended to over the time of ownership including most recently, a new boiler in 2024, a new kitchen in 2023 and a lease extension in 2021. Owing to large windows and an elevated position over the first floor, this is an extremely bright home, with high ceilings further enhancing the airy ambience.
The heart of the home is the expansive reception room, with a sprawling bay window providing the ideal setting for a pleasant dining area. Host in style as you watch the world go by from above, or cosy up on the sofa in front of the attractive working fireplace. Newly fitted in October 2023, the kitchen boasts capacious storage within contemporary cabinetry which reaches double-height providing almost floor-to-ceiling storage options. A truly pleasant place to cook, the kitchen wraps around with generous worktops, lit with modern lighting features and views through a large window.
With high ceilings creating a roomy yet cosy ambience, all three bedrooms are set away from the social spaces at the rear of the home overlooking the nearby gardens. Two of the bedrooms are particularly generous doubles whilst the third is a smaller bedroom, currently utilised as a large home office perfect for those who work from home, yet easily repurposed to suit needs, including back into a bedroom. Fresh and neutral, the bathroom is conveniently set in the centre of the home with a bathtub plus overhead shower, ideal for a relaxing soak in the bubbles after a stroll around nearby Brockwell Park.
Of further benefit, there is the rarity of an allocated off-street parking space, plus a small loft space above the bathroom, ideal for storing those lesser used items.
The location is fantastic, less than a five-minute stroll from the green open spaces of Brockwell Park, lauded as London's best outdoor space by locals with its amazing lido among its myriad attractions. Tulse Hill train station is within a six-minute stroll with trains to London Bridge and central London via Southern Rail and the Thames Link. Offering a village feel and a wide range of independent amenities, bars, bakeries and cafes is Herne Hill, just an eleven-minute walk with further trains, including to Victoria twenty minutes door to door. Brixton, first stop on the Victoria Line, the lauded Brixton Village and a cracking nightlife is a nine-minute bus journey from your front door via frequent day and night buses, or a twenty-four minute walk across Brockwell Park, covering the wants and needs of the majority of purchasers. For those with a car, the top of Norwood Road joins with the South Circular, ready to whisk you around London and beyond.
