Keating Estates are proud to present to market this charming and spacious two double bedroom Victorian School Conversion with its own private entrance, set within the gated grounds of College Green Court with off-street parking and resident’s lawns including a fish pond.

Originally built in the 1850s, this imposing property is steeped in local history, first opened as Brixton Girls’ Orphanage in the late 1800s before being acquired by the Brixton School of Building, and was finally converted into luxury apartments in 1997. This characterful development has been re-renovated externally in recent years and has a lovely period façade.

Once inside the gates there are beautifully manicured shared gardens with a fish pond, the communal areas are well maintained and there is secure bike storage. This particular maisonette also benefits from an allocated off-street gated parking space.

This characterful split-level apartment boasts over 1,050 square feet of internal living space, with the luxury of multiple floors, the property feels like a home from the moment you step through the private entrance. This spacious maisonette is split over two upper floors and large sash windows and skylights allow an abundance of natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout with additional privacy owing to the elevated setting.

A true heart of the home, the open plan reception is set below lofty ceilings providing a cavernous space nearly ten meters long which must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Contemporary wooden flooring sweeps through the space creating a wonderful flow ideal for entertaining, leading from the expansive lounge, through the dining area and on into the kitchen. Plentiful storage is on offer within wrap-around shaker-style cabinetry, topped with wooden worktops and finished with a central cooking island, adding to the sociable vibe whilst also providing a more casual dining option at the adjoining breakfast bar. Feature lighting dangles alluringly above the dining table setting the mood for cherished dinners with loved ones.

An attractive staircase winds down to the floor below where the two bedrooms are positioned. A rarity for period conversions, both bedrooms are large doubles of similar size, suited to those wishing to rent out or re-purpose one of the rooms. Both bedrooms have characterful sash windows with secondary gazing to promote a peaceful sleep and plenty of room for the traditional bedroom furnishings plus a desk or dressing table if desired. The house bathroom is equipped with a bathtub plus overhead shower, complete with leafy views and a storage for a neat finish.
