Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this unique and rarely available three bedroom Victorian half-house with a South-West facing garden. Set on a sleepy Victorian street with easy access to the amenities on offer within Brixton and Herne Hill, plus a local pub, café and bakery on the doorstep.
With just shy of 1,000 square feet utilised effectively, this characterful house is packed full of charm and is sure to appeal to a wide range of purchasers.
On entering the home you are greeted by a large open-plan room spanning the width and length of the ground floor, with high ceilings and original wooden floorboards creating a spacious yet homely feel. The double reception area offers a sociable environment to relax, unwind, dine and entertain, bathed in natural light from dual-aspect windows, a truly inviting heart of the home. Keeping the dishes neatly tucked away, an attractive kitchen leads off the rear, oozing countryside charm with in-frame cabinetry down two sides and a stable door to the garden, perfect for letting the fresh air breeze through the room.
South-West facing the private wrap-around garden is a tranquil suntrap benefitting from additional privacy due to the positioning of the surrounding buildings. Ideal for dining on the deck surrounded by planted boarders and even your very own palm tree! This low-maintenance spot is ready to be used the moment the weather permits, with the rolling greenery of Brockwell Park also nearby.
Back inside, a striking wooden staircase enhanced with architectural glass winds through the home whilst still allowing natural light to flood through the home. All three bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floor with each room separated from the others to allow a desirable level of privacy for all.
The principal suite is set peacefully atop the house. Bright and neutral this attractive space has the dimensions for the traditional bedroom furnishings plus a desk or dressing table if desired. It also boasts a Juliet balcony where beautiful sunset skies dance over the rooftops, in addition to the luxury of a contemporary en-suite with walk-in rain shower.
Arranged over the floor below are the further two bedrooms and the impressive family bathroom. The largest of these two bedrooms has a stunning feature brick wall, with generous proportions on offer this space was previously dressed as the main bedroom, yet is currently equipped with bunk beds to accommodate a quickly growing family. The third bedroom also has a lovely feature wall with charming fireplace, another versatile space currently a nursery yet with the potential to repurpose to suit needs, such as a guest room and home office or indeed a bedroom. Refurbished by the current vendors, the fantastic family bathroom is a beautiful and soothing space, equipped with a bathtub plus overhead shower and an expansive feature mirror.
If all this weren’t enough there is storage under the stairs and within the eaves and the boiler has recently been replaced with a new ten-year guarantee.
