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 bright and charming two bedroom apartment boasting a central location whilst still enjoying a private aspect, ideal for those looking for a convenient location in the heart of Brixton. Set on the sweeping and characterful Electric Avenue, a street steeped in history which gets its name by being the first market street to be lit by electric lights and to this day is a core asset of the Brixton community, hosting Brixton market which closes by seven pm. Enjoy the exciting buzz of the area by day, whilst enjoying a quieter setting of an evening.
Tucked away behind secure gates and set back, this bright and contemporary flat has been considerately designed to maximise the square footage on offer, with high ceilings adding to the ambience.
Measuring almost six meters in length, the heart of the home is the open-plan reception room, bathed in natural light from a pretty South-facing arched sash window. There is comfortable space in which to lounge, with engineered timber flooring in warming tones sweeping through the room. Neatly integrated within white gloss cabinetry the kitchen wraps around in an ergonomic horseshoe shape, enhancing the sociable vibe of the room and culminating in a breakfast bar to offer a convenient dining space.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles with built-in wardrobes and large sash windows, finished with carpets for a cosy finish. The bedrooms are set to opposing sides of the home from one another, offering each a level of privacy. One of the bedrooms is nestled away from the street at the rear of the property and each are versatile neutral rooms with the potential to re-purpose one of the rooms, such as a generous separate lounge and kitchen-diner should the purchaser wish to live in the property as a large one bedroom home. Conveniently set in the centre of the home, a contemporary bathroom separates the two bedrooms, providing a desirable level of privacy for each bedroom, making it ideal for those who would prefer to rent out a room. A truly versatile home! There is also additional storage in the entrance hallway.
As far as locations go, it doesn’t get much better: situated within touching distance of the restaurants, cafes and boutique shops in Brixton Village and on Coldharbour Lane, such as Mamma Dough Pizza, Okan Ramen and Caya coffee shop, to name a few. Windrush Square, The Ritzy and POP Brixton are also just around the corner whilst Brixton tube and train stations (first stop on the Victoria Line), offer superb transport links within a couple of minutes’ walk, running 24hrs at the weekend. Multiple day and night bus routes into central London and surrounding areas offer a great alternative.
This lovely chain-free home will appeal to a wide range of potential purchasers, from first-time buyers to buy-to-let investors or anyone looking for a perfectly-located pied-à-terre. All in all, a great property with a versatile layout, must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
Chain-free.
