Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this enchanting four-bedroom Victorian house, packed with period charm, on Leander Road in the heart of Brixton. Brimming with character, this delightful home features a private garden, original features throughout, and the potential to extend (STPP), offering a flexible and appealing space for families or couples alike.

The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone with original tiled flooring, corniced ceilings, a curved reception wall, and a graceful wooden staircase. The character continues into the separate reception and dining rooms, each boasting high ceilings with shadow cornicing, original floorboards, and feature fireplaces. These versatile spaces can be enjoyed independently or opened into a large, flowing room. The dining room’s French doors open onto the garden, while the reception enjoys a striking bay window.

Nestled to the rear is the dine-in kitchen, a large and airy room providing the ideal family hub, featuring a bay window nook perfect for informal meals by a charming fireplace. With garden views, the kitchen wraps around maximising storage whilst a French door provides further garden access, ideal for al-fresco dining.

The garden features a pond and outhouse, a low-maintenance spot with the potential to re-landscape to create your own pretty oasis. Precedent has also been set on the street should the purchaser wish to seek the necessary permissions to extend into the side return of the garden in the future, increasing the already sizeable kitchen.

Arranged over the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, spanning the entire width of the property with an attractive bay window and original floorboards. Two further double bedrooms with similar character are set to the rear overlooking the gardens, with a convenient WC separating them.

Peacefully atop the house, the fourth bedroom is another spacious double, bathed in natural light from multiple windows including a Velux. An attractive house bathroom completes this charming home, equipped with a bathtub plus a separate walk-in shower.

Leander Road is a leafy residential street with a true sense of community, a neighbourly road locally famous for hosting their annual summer street party. This sought-after road 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 amenities and transport links in Herne Hill are a pleasant ten-minute stroll through Brockwell Park, this lovely, versatile property will appeal to purchasers considering moving to both areas.
