Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this exceptional two double bedroom, two bathroom, split-level flat with a tiered garden and terraces, backing onto Brockwell Park. Arranged over the ground floors of a period house on the desirable Brailsford Road, a leafy residential street with a quiet, cul-de-sac setting and a real sense of community, plus an entrance to the park at the top of the road.
With an abundance of selling points which must be viewed to be fully appreciated, this ideally located and beautifully finished property will tick boxes for a lot of purchasers. Over 1,000 square feet of internal space has been utilized tactfully, creating the spacious and characterful feel of a truly luxurious home.
Lovingly cared for by the current vendors, this fantastic apartment underwent an extensive, no-expenses spared refurbishment, spanning two years and only being completed in 2022, resulting in an immaculate home ready for the new purchaser to reap the benefits.
Sure to impress, a sprawling open-plan reception, kitchen and dining room sweep through the raised ground floor. Bright and spacious, the reception room at the front of the property is adorned by a grand bay window, true to the period character of this handsome property, embellished by wooden shutters. High, corniced ceilings enhance the airy feel, whilst a fully restored and functioning fireplace ensures a pleasant winter curled up in front of the fire. The bespoke kitchen features handmade oak cabinetry with a large 3.4m central island and sociable breakfast bar. The finish is impeccable, with natural quartzite stone worktops, feature lighting and top-of-the-range appliances, a wonderful place to cook and host. Drenched in natural light from a skylight above, the dining area boasts a wall of reclaimed brick slips, with a bespoke utility area keeping the laundry neatly tucked to one side. Dine in style with elevated views over the private landscaped garden beyond.
Sliding doors allow a seamless transition out to the glass terrace, leading to the tiered garden which has been designed to maximise sun exposure throughout the day. Backing onto Brockwell Park, the garden relishes additional privacy and leafy surroundings, feeling worlds away from the city. An evergreen, low-maintenance spot requiring minimal effort to maintain, inclusive of an irrigation system and feature lighting, plus a limestone seating terrace to the rear, perfect for al-fresco hosting or simply reading a book in the sunshine.
Back inside, stairs lead down to both of the spacious double bedrooms, with Crittal doors to its own patio, the principal enjoys a particularly tranquil setting, with copious fitted wardrobes and the luxury of an en-suite with free-standing bath and separate walk-in rain shower. Still a sizeable double, the second bedroom is nestled behind a pretty bay window, also benefitting from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The bedrooms are separated from one another for a desirable level of privacy whilst an additional WC completes this exceptional property.
As far as locations go, it doesn’t get much better. Brockwell Park runs behinds the home with the fantastic benefit of an entrance to Brockwell Park at the top of the road. The beautiful greenery of this award winning park will not disappoint, along with its iconic 1930s Lido, excellent sports facilities, popular café and more. Brailsford Road is a quiet and desirable leafy street located a ten minute walk to central Brixton with the excellent transport links on offer at the tube and overground station, in addition to the wide variety of hotspots and eateries which vibrant Brixton is famous for.
