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.

Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market an exceptional three double bedroom split-level apartment in a converted Victorian townhouse, on the highly sought-after Holmewood Road. The property is situated within a quiet residential pocket of Brixton Hill, on a no-through road adjacent to a beautiful garden square and has easy access to central Brixton, Streatham and Clapham.
This characterful home has been lovingly cared for resulting in a wonderful home with an appealing blend of contemporary design and charming period features. The renovations span from roofing works, upgrading windows to double glazed timber sashes, restoring the original hardwood floors and re-painting many of the rooms, adding coving and a new boiler.
Boasting over 1,100 square feet of space, three large bedrooms and two family bathrooms, the property is sure to tick boxes for a wide range of purchasers.
Packed full of character is the separate reception room boasting high ceilings, original floorboards, bespoke shelving, a feature fireplace, a bay window dressed with plantation shutters, and ample room for a large dining table, a truly inviting room. Tucked away at the back of the building is a great kitchen-diner with all you need in terms of mod cons, plenty of storage and an ergonomic yet sociable layout. Additional features are the exposed brickwork of the old fireplace, complete with nifty storage, and the lovely windows with views of the neighbouring gardens.
All three bedrooms are spacious doubles, set to opposing floors for a desirable level of privacy from each other. The principal bedroom is a fantastic loft-style room which is flooded with light through two large skylights and benefits from ample built-in storage in the eaves. The two further bedrooms are both set to the rear with leafy views, away from the already quiet street, soothing spaces with charming floorboards and original fireplaces, one of these rooms is currently a second reception, yet easily repurposed back into a bedroom if desired.
Two contemporary family bathrooms serve the home, one on the first floor is equipped with a bathtub with overhead shower ideal for a relaxing soak in the bubbles, whilst the upstairs has a walk-in shower with an inviting feel.
Situated on friendly and neighbourly road, the local residents are brought together by the green open spaces of Holmewood Gardens just a few doors down. This pretty garden square is essentially a large garden to which you do not have to tend, with a designated area for dog exercise, children’s playground and open grass for communal events. The Neighbourhood Association has planted an orchard, and is actively involved in ensuring care of the area, plus organising many social events including summer parties, winter festivals, Hallowe’en activities. The gardens have played host to free concerts from Brixton Chamber Orchestra and the 606 Jazz club. Very family friendly, there are two great schools on the street (Orchard Primary rated Outstanding by Ofsted and Christ Church Streatham was in top 2% of attainment nationally last year).
Nearby, there are both chain and independent shops, cafes, chemists, doctors and a gem of a pub, the Elm Park Tavern, just a five-minute walk away. Everything that Brixton has to offer, is a fifteen-minute walk away, from music venues and the culinary delights of Brixton Village to large brand shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria Line. Regular day and night buses run up and down Brixton Hill, with nine bus routes to whisk you to the tube within a few minutes, and on into the city. In the other direction, you have Streatham High Street just a nine-minute walk away, with its multitude of restaurants and bars. Brockwell Park is a ten-minute stroll, with Tooting and Balham Common and Clapham Common also within walking distance. Having the South Circular on your doorstep and the option for on-street permit parking the location is perfect for those with a vehicle.
