Property details

An exceptional chain-free family home offering four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms and the ability to extend further, all arranged over two floors of this well-presented, end-of-terrace Victorian house. The property boasts nearly 1800 square feet of internal space and is located on an extremely popular road moments from central Brixton, Herne Hill and Brockwell Park.

On entering the house, the balanced marriage of modern living and true period character is apparent, from the period fireplaces and ceiling cornicing to the extended bright and airy kitchen diner at the rear. One of the big selling points of this beautiful home is the ability to increase the footprint of the house by extending into the substantial loft space like many of the neighbours have done in the past.

Tucked away at the back of the building is a stylish eat-in kitchen, complete with a contemporary central island and flooded with natural light through the large skylight and concertina doors that allow the living space to flow seamlessly into the private South-facing garden. The garden is a good size and low maintenance, where you will feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Located at the front of the building is a double-aspect reception and dining room with a bay window, high ceilings and direct access through to the eat-in kitchen. A convenient W.C. and a door leading to the cellar, an ideal storage space to keep all those items not used on a daily basis, complete the ground floor.

Arranged over the first floor, three of the four double bedrooms, are well-proportioned rooms benefitting from an abundance of natural light and an airy atmosphere throughout. These comfortable double rooms are decorated with neutral tones and benefit from built-in storage and/or views of the gardens at the rear. The principal bedroom spans the entire width of the building and has views of the attractive terrace row opposite. There is a family bathroom on the first floor serving the second and third bedrooms. A final staircase leads to the fourth bedroom and an additional bathroom on the second floor. The house is chain-free, ready to move into hassle-free, and the new owner can stamp their own mark over time.

Mervan Road is a highly sought-after, attractive and quiet street, in an extremely popular pocket of roads between Brixton and Herne Hill. The centre of Brixton is a five-minute walk, with all it has to offer in terms of nightlife, restaurants and shopping. Leafy Herne Hill is a ten-minute stroll in the opposite direction, with what many local residents regard as London's best green space, Brockwell Park, located within a stone’s throw. With Brixton Village, Brockwell Park, and Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants all on your doorstep, there is something to cater for all tastes. In short, an exceptional property on a desirable street, close to the action but far enough away to offer a tranquil feel.
