Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market a wonderfully bright and spacious two double bedroom, two bathroom apartment, quietly positioned to the rear of an end of terrace Victorian property on Norwood Road in Herne Hill, moments from Brockwell Park.
Owing to large windows and an elevated position over the second floor, this is an extremely bright yet private home, with high ceilings further enhancing the airy ambience. This spacious apartment is peacefully positioned, set back and separated from the road entirely by another apartment. A tastefully finished home which benefits from excellent dimensions with the entire square footage being usable living space, as opposed to being distributed within internal hallways. A unique property which must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
Forming the heart of the home, the sizeable open-plan reception is packed full of character with ample room to relax, dine and entertain. Bathed in natural light through charming sash windows with wooden floorboards sweeping through the room, this welcoming space is sure to be well loved. The kitchen boasts capacious storage within contemporary cabinetry which wraps around into a sociable breakfast bar. A truly pleasant place to cook and host with generous worktops and views through a large window.
Leading off the kitchen a handy storage room is perfect for storing bikes, airing laundry and keeping the flat neat and tidy, a truly versatile space which has even been used as a study in the past.
A rarity for period conversions, the two double bedrooms are both a generous size, set to completely opposite ends of the apartment to offer each a level of privacy suited to sharers. The principal bedroom is equipped with an en-suite set behind a characterful curved partition wall, whilst the main bathroom is conveniently set next to the second bedroom, essentially meaning each bedroom has their own private bathroom.
Of further benefit, both bedrooms have been reinsulated so they are very cool in summer and warm in winter. Installed in the last two years the apartment also has a new boiler and radiators.
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.
Chain-free.
