Brixton is a melting pot of culture, cuisine and creativity. An explosion of inventive, new restaurants, pop-ups, fashion stores and art galleries sit alongside the many great pubs, music venues and nightclubs that have been around for years. Transport links are excellent, with London Underground (Victoria Line) trains reaching central London in 12 minutes. If you’re craving green space, Brockwell Park and its famed Art Deco lido are close by. Brixton brings together all the best things about London and is one of the most vibrant and diverse places to live south of the river.

This highly sought after location is almost equidistant between Clapham and Brixton High Streets, plus the Northern and Victoria lines, with a fantastic choice of amenities in every direction.
In a location with so much on your doorstep this Victorian home is the ideal first-time buyer property, a versatile layout set over the first floor with a bright ambience, enhanced by high ceilings and the elevated position.
Set in the centre of the home is a charming dine-in kitchen with cabinetry wrapping around two walls, framing the dining area to create a sociable yet homely place to cook, host and dine. Adjacent is a bright, separate reception room at the front of the property, complete with a charming bay window framed by plantation shutters, a truly inviting space in which to unwind.
Both bedrooms are large enough to have a double bed plus storage and are set to opposing sides of the home making this lovely flat ideal for those looking for the potential to rent out a room. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, tucked away at the rear of the apartment with cosy carpets and leafy views over the neighbouring gardens. The second bedroom features space for a desk and wardrobe in addition to a bed, a versatile space which is easy to repurpose should a second bedroom not be required. Completing this attractive home, the well-presented bathroom is neatly designed, equipped with a bathtub with overhead shower and storage options for a tidy finish.
This quiet and neighbourly street is tucked away in a sought-after pocket with the restaurants, supermarkets and bars of Acre Lane on the doorstep. Within a seven-minute stroll is everything that Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the extremely popular Brixton Village to large brand shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria tube line. Vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street is a ten-minute walk in the other direction, offering great nightlife with the cafes and boutique shops within Abbeville Village, Venn Street and Clapham Old Town all close-by.
Potential purchasers will benefit from both the Northern Line (Clapham North, Clapham Common and Clapham South tube stations) and the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station). This property has the advantage of two wonderful green open spaces within walking distance; Clapham Common and Brockwell Park with its iconic 1930s Lido. All in all a beautiful home ideal for a stress-free move with many positive attributes from the style and proximity to all the action the area has to offer.
