Arodene Road, SW2

A handsome example of a five double bedroom, Victorian terraced freehold house, this property on Arodene Road is chain-free and surrounded by attractive homes on either side and opposite. However, this one really is something special.

The property has been lovingly designed and refurbished by the current owners and is a light and airy mix of contemporary design and characterful features. With nearly 2000 square feet of living space on offer, five large bedrooms and a secluded garden to match, it is hard to remind yourself that you are, indeed, in the heart of Brixton. The total square footage is large and allows potential purchasers to alter the layout to best suit their own requirements. The property comprises a large, double-aspect reception room complete with a bright bay window, high ceilings and feature fireplaces. The space has been opened up to allow a seamless flow into the sleek, modern kitchen: the perfect family hub which will be used on a regular basis, and includes all your mod cons, a fantastic breakfast bar and exposed brickwork adding further to the sense of character.

Subject to the necessary permissions, there is the opportunity to increase the footprint by extending into the side return. Doors open onto the quiet and serene private garden, perfect for enjoying some downtime during the spring and summer months. The ground floor of the house also boasts a convenient shower room and separate WC.

On the first floor are three of the five bedrooms, all of which are extremely comfortable doubles. The master bedroom runs the entire width of the front of the house and boasts some excellent built-in storage. There is a large, modern family bathroom which serves the bedrooms on this floor, and stairs lead up to another good double bedroom, a third shower room, and the loft conversion, which has been brilliantly executed to provide a fifth large bedroom, complete with skylights.

Arodene Road is nestled in the Josephine Avenue Conservation Area, a leafy residential street with a true sense of community, a neighbourly road forming part of the low-traffic neighbourhood. This sought-after street is located a short walk to the centre of Brixton offering the culinary delights of Brixton Village and a wide array of cultural entertainment choices whilst also being the first stop on the Victoria line. Moments away is a large supermarket and various cafes, pubs and restaurants, such as Naughty Piglets, Stir Coffee and the Elm Park Tavern.

The green, open spaces of Brockwell Park are also a stone’s throw away, along with its iconic 1930’s Lido and fantastic sports facilities. The independent eateries and pretty market plus the Thameslink trains in village-esq Herne Hill are a pleasant ten-minute stroll through Brockwell Park and the property will appeal to purchasers considering moving to both of these in-demand areas. With the road also being within the catchment area for two of Brixton’s highly sought-after primary schools, Sudbourne and Corpus Christi Schools, it is easy to see why Arodene Road is so popular.
