Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this magnificently charming four bedroom, two bathroom Victorian family home nestled on Bythorn Street within a popular residential pocket, highly sought-after for its character and proximity to both Brixton and Clapham. Just a short walk to Brixton tube station and a variety of cafes, pubs and eateries.

Set down a charming cul-de-sac, the restored exterior boasts colourful Victorian style tiling and ironwork fencing to the front for a traditional welcome, yet inside this stunning home offers an exciting and eclectic mix of original period features and contemporary design with every room having its own individual sense of character.

The double reception room offers the charm and character of the era in which it was originally built, with exposed floorboards, high, corniced ceilings and a working fireplace, ideal for cosying up in winter whilst still being able to see the trees in the back garden. Transported into the modern day, the lounge is decorated with a forest wall whilst the dining area enjoys sumptuous orange feature tones offset with the soothing greys of a bespoke real slate wall. Bathing the rooms with natural light, a sash bay window is set to the front, framed with pretty plantation shutters whilst a skylight adds to the ambience in the second dining reception.

Painted in joyful yellow tones, the kitchen is set to the rear of the property boasting generous storage within sleek gloss cabinetry down both sides, complete with smart thermostat underfloor heating, a feature fireplace and breakfast bar for a more casual dining option. Adjacent a utility room keeps the laundry and more functional items neatly tucked away, complete with a handy downstairs WC, creating a practical kitchen ideal for cooking up a tasty treat using the fruits of the garden.

A French glass door from the kitchen flows into the private garden, offering the perfect transition to al-fresco entertaining and BBQs. Surrounded by trees, this outdoor haven is ideal for relaxing on the rear deck to the tranquil sounds of the waterfall feature pond, or tending to the mini orchard of apples, pears and raspberries. The astro lawn ensures low-maintenance greenery all year round, whilst the outdoor power supplies LED lighting in the deck and is perfect for extending use of the garden into the evenings and winter months, with further lighting features and the option of heaters should you desire. This wonderful garden benefits from no other houses or tall buildings behind, ensuring additional light and privacy.

Arranged over the first floor are two of the four bedrooms, both well-proportioned doubles with built in wardrobes and plush carpets. In keeping with the considered attention to detail, both rooms boast custom painted murals, the larger room which spans the width of the house has a hand-painted glow-in-the-dark celestial map to the ceiling, whilst the other double has been transformed into the perfect nursery or child’s room with a mural of trees and forest creatures. An expansive house bathroom also resides on this floor, a bright yet soothing space equipped with underfloor heating, a separate walk in shower and freestanding bathtub under the window, the perfect retreat for a soak in the bubbles with views of the trees beyond, a true home-spa feel.

Sitting peacefully atop the house, the principal bedroom is particularly appealing, spanning the full width of the top floor with two windows providing views across the rooftops. This spacious room flaunts a contemporary en suite shower room. The fourth and final bedroom sits adjacent, currently utilised as a generous home office, yet easily repurposed to suit needs. Completing this charming home, is access to a fully boarded loft space and strategic cupboards throughout the hallways perfect for hiding away those lesser used items, keeping the home neat and tidy.
