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 this beautifully presented two bedroom Victorian apartment, offering a harmonious blend of charming period features and tasteful modern updates. Set on Helix Road, a highly sought-after residential street, a ten-twelve minute walk from the amenities and transport links in central Brixton.
Lovingly maintained, the home has benefited from thoughtful enhancements, including double glazing in the lounge, a refurbished bathroom, stylish redecoration throughout, and a modernised kitchen. A true testament to its character, the property retains many original features, such as elegant wooden flooring and a charming fireplace, with original floorboards lying beneath all carpets.
Bathed in natural light, the apartment enjoys a wonderful dual-aspect flow. Morning sunlight streams into bedroom, particularly picturesque in spring when the garden’s blossom tree is in bloom, whilst you get to see the sunsets from the reception, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The reception itself is the heart of the home, exuding charm and character—a truly welcoming space, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. Adjacent, the separate kitchen has been tastefully updated, boasting chic blue cabinetry, offering ample storage and a delightful setting for culinary pursuits.
The split-level layout ensures a sense of privacy between the social spaces and the bedrooms, with both bedrooms quietly positioned at the rear of the home. The principal is a tranquil retreat, elegantly decorated in soft tones, complete with fitted wardrobes and plush carpeting. The second bedroom has been rented out as a double room in the past and is currently arranged as a generous home office, offering flexibility to suit the needs of its future owners. In keeping with the overall aesthetic, the bathroom has been stylishly refurbished, featuring a bathtub with an overhead rain shower.
Practicality is also a key feature of this home, with abundant storage thoughtfully integrated throughout, including fitted wardrobes, overhead cupboards in the kitchen, a hallway cupboard near the bathroom, and additional shelving in both bedrooms, as well as fitted cupboards in the lounge.
This charming apartment is ideally situated within easy reach of green spaces, and local amenities, offering an enviable blend of period elegance and modern convenience.
The property is located in a quiet and leafy part of vibrant and thriving Brixton, on tree-lined Helix Road, a no-through road ensuring traffic is kept to a minimum enhancing the sleepy setting. Situated a ten-twelve minute stroll to all that central Brixton has to offer, purchasers also have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the White Horse Pub. This exquisite flat is ideal for anyone who wants to be close to the action while maintaining a sense of calm. The new owner will have the best of both worlds with everything on offer in the hustle and bustle of central Brixton, yet able to retire to the quieter village-like community that has been developed around Brixton Hill and Elm Park, with a local pub, bakeries and cafes on hand.
First stop on the Victoria Line, Brixton tube station is a stroll down the hill, whisking you into central London and the City within a few minutes. The buses also offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations, with regular day and night buses on Brixton Hill. The location is ideal with the green, open spaces of Brockwell Park within a five-minute walk. A pleasant fifteen-minute saunter across the park brings you to Herne Hill station with access to the Thameslink into the city and the many pubs, cafes, restaurants and Sunday market of leafy Herne Hill.
