Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this spacious and versatile three double bedroom, two bathroom, split-level flat with a private garden, thirty seconds from Brockwell Park. Split over the ground floors of an end-of-terrace Victorian house on Brixton Water Lane, nestled between the amenities of Herne Hill and Brixton.
With a private entrance accessed through the front garden and almost 1,000 square feet of internal space, the home has an abundance of selling points and a versatile layout, ready for the new purchaser to stamp their own mark, creating a home suited to your own individual desires.
The reception room and separate kitchen are currently positioned adjacent to one another, nestled peacefully to the rear of the lower floor, overlooking the first tier of the garden. The comfortable reception benefits from modern downlighting and the proportions to accommodate a dining table, with a patio door leading out to the private garden.
Set to two tiers, the garden is accessible not only from the reception but also from the conservatory on the floor above. Currently paved for ease of maintenance, this walled retreat requires minimal effort to maintain, ready to be used the moment the weather permits, perfect for al-fresco hosting, BBQs or simply reading a book in the sunshine. A handy side gate leads from the garden into Arlingford Road, ideal for those with bikes or prams.
All three bedrooms are generous doubles. The principal is set to the raised ground floor behind a large bay window bathing the space in natural light. True to the period character of this handsome home, high corniced ceilings enhance the airy ambience and the room is completed by the luxury of an en-suite shower room. Adjacent, another of the double bedrooms enjoys garden views, with a doorway through into a sun-room conservatory with steps out to the garden, ideal for repurposing into a home office, yoga room or indeed enjoying as an additional place to unwind.
Downstairs, the third bedroom is yet another spacious double, also residing behind a pretty bay window with views over the front garden. The main bathroom is conveniently located just down the hall, equipped with a bathtub with overhead shower, ideal for a soak in the bubbles after a stroll around Brockwell Park.
With so many well-proportioned rooms, it is possible to live in the home as it currently, or even to re-configure should you wish, perhaps even substituting one of the bedrooms to make an expansive open-plan kitchen reception if this is more suited. Overall a flexible space with tonnes of potential to suit many different needs. Early registration of interest is advised.
As far as locations go, it doesn’t get much better. Brixton Water Lane is nestled between the amenities of Brixton and Herne Hill with the fantastic benefit of an entrance to Brockwell Park moments away on the same 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. The apartment has a large supermarket, and various local heroes such as Brockwell Blend, The Hootenanny, Maremma and Naughty Piglets right on your doorstep. It is also 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. The amenities in leafy and village-esq Herne Hill are also a pleasant ten minute stroll through Brockwell Park, including the Thameslink train connections, and the property will appeal to purchasers considering moving to both of these in-demand areas.
