Property details

Keating Estates are delighted to present to market this exquisite four double bedroom, two bathroom Victorian house, nestled on the desirable Solon Road in Brixton. Brimming with character, this elegant home boasts an impressive double reception, a stunning dine-in kitchen, and a charming, low-maintenance garden, all set within a thriving residential pocket with easy access to local amenities and transport links.

Upon entry, the double reception room immediately captivates with its ornately corniced ceilings, original floorboards, and marble mantelpieces, exuding period charm. The space is beautifully versatile, with grand dividing doors allowing the two areas to be separated as desired. A bay window bathes the front in natural light, while beautiful stained glass French doors at the rear provide a seamless transition into the garden.

The dine-in kitchen, set at the rear of the home, strikes a stunning balance of contemporary design with a nod to traditional elegance. Modern pastel-toned cabinetry is complemented by brass hardware, and an American fridge freezer offers convenience for family life. A central island is positioned within the bay window, creating a sociable hub, while integrated speakers enhance the ambience. A contemporary herringbone floor extends through to the dining area, where ample space accommodates a large table, positioned before bi-fold doors opening onto the garden, ideal for entertaining.

The walled garden is a tranquil retreat, designed for ease of maintenance with faux turf ensuring year-round greenery. Planted borders, including a striking palm tree and feature lighting, add to the serene environment. A decked patio extends down the side return, perfect for al fresco dining.

The upper floors are home to four double bedrooms, each thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and style. The principal bedroom spans the width of the home, a haven of light with three elegant windows, contemporary flooring, and an iron radiator adding to the charm. The three further double bedrooms are all equally as tastefully presented, peacefully set to the rear of the home, and each conveniently positioned adjacent to a bathroom. The smallest of the four is still a genuine double, currently styled as a dressing room come guest room, featuring fitted wardrobes and a sofa bed, though it can be easily repurposed back into a dedicated double bedroom if desired.

Two bathrooms service the home, ensuring practicality for modern family life. The first-floor bathroom features a luxurious double-ended bathtub with stylish green highlights, while a separate WC sits adjacent, offering the potential to combine into one larger space if preferred, or keep separate to alleviate busy morning routines. The second bathroom, positioned on the top floor, is neutrally styled and fitted with a shower, complemented by a charming porthole window.

There is plenty of storage on offer with access to a loft plus a handy cellar providing additional storage. For those looking to grow into a property over time, precedent has been set on the street for extensions into the side return and loft, subject to the necessary permissions, offering the potential to increase the footprint of this already impressive home.

Solon Road is a sought-after, tree-lined street ideally positioned between Brixton and Clapham, offering the best of both vibrant areas, with the restaurants, supermarkets and bars of Acre Lane on the doorstep. 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.

A beautifully balanced blend of character, style, and practicality.
