Brixton is a melting pot of culture, cuisine and creativity. An explosion of inventive, new restaurants, pop-ups, fashion stores and art galleries sit alongside the many great pubs, music venues and nightclubs that have been around for years. Transport links are excellent, with London Underground (Victoria Line) trains reaching central London in 12 minutes. If you’re craving green space, Brockwell Park and its famed Art Deco lido are close by. Brixton brings together all the best things about London and is one of the most vibrant and diverse places to live south of the river.

Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this wonderful two double bedroom apartment with a communal garden and off-street parking, within an attractive Victorian property. Set on the unique Raleigh Gardens, a desirable and leafy residential road tucked away off Brixton Hill, the property benefits from a quiet setting as the entrance is a no-through road which only allows access to these particular houses.
This stunning top floor apartment is a fantastic example of what can be done when one of these majestic townhouses is refurbished with care and attention to detail. This lovely flat has been renovated to a high standard throughout and benefits from an abundance of natural light and privacy.
The current owners have really made the most of the charming rooms and the airy atmosphere within the property. The open-plan reception room at the front of the house is a beautiful room, with views over the leafy, well-maintained, front gardens. The contemporary kitchen is sleek and stylish, with trendy tiling and everything you might need in terms of appliances and storage, plus a convenient breakfast bar adding to the sociable vibe. Original wooden floorboards sweep through the room, which has comfortable space for a cosy lounge area and plenty of room for a dining table, ideal for those who like to host.
The two double bedrooms are separated from one other on differing levels of the home, providing a desirable level of privacy for both. Each bedroom enjoys leafy views over the neighbouring gardens and both are a good size, each benefitting from bespoke built-in wardrobes and warming wooden floorboards. Conveniently set between the bedrooms is a tasteful, modern bathroom, equipped with a bathtub with overhead rain shower and finished with trendy tiling plus integrated storage.
Just outside the front door is a communal lawned garden, surrounded by trees and shrubbery. There is also off-street parking, operated on a first come first served basis, however over time the residents generally tend to establish their own unofficial spots.
Raleigh Gardens is highly sought-after for its proximity to all that the area is known for, situated a ten-minute stroll to the heart of Brixton and a similar distance to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park. A pleasant fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes and restaurants of Herne Hill. The popular establishments on Brixton Hill are within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and The White Horse Pub. This beautifully presented, top floor flat is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action but would prefer to retain a sense of calm. The first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is just a fifteen-minute walk away. There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the finish to the quiet, neighbourhood feel and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer.
