Property details

Keating Estates are delighted to present to the market this impressive five-bedroom, two-bathroom Victorian house with a landscaped garden and additional outside space. This stunning home has been meticulously extended and architecturally designed to the highest standard. Set on the desirable Raeburn Street, this elegant home seamlessly blends period charm with modern convenience, offering an expansive living space with a thoughtfully designed layout and high-end finishes throughout.

Stepping inside, the attention to detail is immediately apparent. The owners have undertaken a comprehensive refurbishment, restoring the original Victorian wooden flooring and the stunning mahogany handrail and nosings on the staircase. New radiators have been installed throughout, complementing the home’s modern comfort while retaining its period character. The property also benefits from new ground-floor windows, café shutters, a new front door, and newly installed fencing and gate, ensuring a striking first impression.

The home’s distinctive layout places the kitchen and dining room at the front of the house, an intelligent design choice which maximises space and flow. A brand new kitchen was installed in 2025, offering contemporary styling and high-quality fittings. The 2021 extension introduced a new ceiling and sound insulation, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere for the children’s bedroom situated above.

The garden is an oasis of tranquillity, lovingly landscaped and designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A hardwood deck at the rear comfortably accommodates a table for ten, ideal for alfresco dining. The flower bed, complete with an irrigation system, is home to mature roses, ensuring continuous blooms from May to September, while jasmine and clematis adorn the back fence, creating a fragrant wall of white flowers throughout the summer. A discreet table storage system is located in the side return, maximising garden space.

The stylish living room is bright and inviting, featuring bi-fold doors that open fully to merge the indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for hosting gatherings. For those considering future expansion, an RSJ has already been installed in the wall between the side return and living room, allowing for an extension without significant structural work, subject to permissions yet with precedent already set on the street.

A convenient cloakroom WC sits adjacent to the reception room, whilst a handy utility space occupies the cellar which provides a washing machine, freezer, radiators, and custom shelving for a large amount of storage

The principal bedroom suite is a luxurious retreat, occupying the entire top floor. Skylights on both sides offer a pleasant through-breeze, with electric blinds for ease of use. Custom full-length wardrobes open to reveal additional storage within the eaves, each with automatic lighting. The en-suite bathroom boasts a huge walk-in shower with maximised ceiling height, a bespoke vanity unit, and built-in cupboards with automatic lighting. A striking staircase with a large window floods the space with natural light, while built-in bookshelves add character, leading to the study bedroom.

Bedroom five, currently utilised as a study, has been thoughtfully designed with a bespoke desk and cupboards that can be reconfigured to accommodate a double bed. High ceilings enhance the airy ambience, and large double doors open onto a stunning green roof, creating a delightful workspace or relaxing retreat during the summer months. The green roof itself features hardwood decking, custom handrails, an irrigation system, power, and lighting—ideal for enjoying the sun or stargazing at night.

The remaining bedrooms are equally well-appointed. Bedroom two, spanning the width of the home, was previously the principal bedroom and is now a dedicated playroom with restored Victorian flooring and newly built-in cupboards with hanging space included, making it simple to turn back into a bedroom. Bedroom three, currently a children’s room, is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a double bed and bedside tables, with additional shelving and cupboards already installed. The fourth bedroom, overlooking the garden, has been designed as a large guest or nanny’s room, with a raised ceiling for an enhanced sense of space.

The stylish family bathroom is designed for both comfort and functionality, featuring a full-size bath, a large walk-in shower, and extensive storage, including cleverly hidden compartments behind four mirrors. A generous heated towel rail completes the space.

This quiet and neighbourly street is tucked away in a sought-after pocket with the restaurants, supermarkets and bars of Acre Lane a short walk away. The local Low Traffic Neighbourhood has hugely reduced traffic on streets at each end and there are also multiple Ofsted outstanding schools within walking distance.

Within a ten-minute stroll is everything that Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the extremely popular Brixton Village to large brand shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria tube line. Vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street is a similar distance in the other direction, offering great nightlife with the cafes and boutique shops within Abbeville Village, Venn Street and Clapham Old Town all close by. Potential purchasers will benefit from both the Northern Line (Clapham North, Clapham Common and Clapham South tube stations) and the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station). This property has the advantage of two wonderful green open spaces within walking distance; Clapham Common and Brockwell Park with its iconic 1930s Lido.

This outstanding five-bedroom home on Raeburn Street offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully extended and meticulously designed Victorian house in a prime Brixton location, blending period elegance with contemporary comfort to create a truly exceptional family home, with yet further potential for development if desired.

Early registration of interest is advised.
