Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market a charming split-level one bedroom flat with London skyline views, arranged over the top two floors of a handsome Victorian conversion, in a lovely pocket equidistant between Brixton and Herne Hill centres.
Lovingly owned for over 16 years, this is an exciting opportunity to purchase this rarely-available fantastic top floor property which spans over 600 square feet.
Full of character and warmth, the flat boasts an impressive reception room, finished with a beautiful working fireplace—perfect for cosy winter evenings. The space enjoys a bright and airy atmosphere, with comfortable proportions for both lounging and dining, making it an ideal spot for entertaining. The kitchen has been freshly repainted within the last year in soft green tones, creating a pleasant place to cook. There is generous storage with countertops down both sides whilst the sink sits below the window for enjoyable views. The neutral bathroom features a bathtub with overhead shower, ideal for a soak in the bubbles after a stroll around nearby Brockwell Park.
Upstairs, the peaceful double bedroom is elevated above the street, ensuring tranquillity and privacy, with far-reaching views across the London skyline. There is also significant eaves storage, ideal for hiding away all those items that aren’t used on a daily basis.
If all this weren’t enough, the recently replaced roof (completed in December 2022) offers additional peace of mind. With friendly neighbours, a strong sense of community, and a blend of period charm and modern updates, this characterful top-floor flat is a fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking a well-located, peaceful, and beautifully maintained home.
Railton Road is a quiet street, thanks to the Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) scheme, which has introduced street seating and a fantastic new coffee shop and ice cream parlour just a few doors down.
Railton Road has the huge benefit of Brixton at one end of the street and Herne Hill at the other. Brixton centre is a mere five-minute walk away, and has major supermarkets plus a famous vibrant market, Ritzy Cinema and the Upstairs private members club. There is a wide choice of culinary delights within Brixton Village, POP Brixton and throughout Central Brixton. Herne Hill is infamous for the exquisite Brockwell Park, just a six-minute stroll away, which also offers a gym, lido and two cafes. Within central Herne Hill there are two express supermarkets plus an array of independent boutique shops and cafes. A popular Farmers' Market runs every Sunday giving the area a real village feel. There is also a wide array of gastropubs, bakeries and eateries. The area also offers a great nightlife such as bars, clubs and live music venues including Hootananny and Electric Brixton and the property will appeal to purchasers contemplating moving to these two in-demand areas.
The transport links are excellent and you will be spoiled for choice, being half way between Herne Hill and Brixton stations provides the best of both worlds as you have the choice of both rail stations plus the start of the speedy Victoria Line, where securing a seat in the morning is rarely an issue, ensuring a stress-free commute, with the added bonus of an interchange to the Northern Line just one stop in.
