Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this exquisite two bedroom apartment with a huge roof garden for the residents, set within a prevalent period building nestled in the heart of Brixton.
The vendors have truly put their hearts and soul into the home, enhancing the space with thoughtful upgrades throughout. This fantastic apartment is perfect for anyone who wants to have the wide range of amenities on offer in Brixton within close proximity but would like to remain tucked away in this desirable Victorian mansion block.
An inviting reception room forms the heart of the home, boasting exposed brickwork and beautifully preserved wooden flooring. The owners have installed expansive new shelving and a stylish TV and book cabinet, seamlessly blending modern convenience with the property's period charm. Large double-glazed windows invite an abundance of natural light, accentuating the room’s airy and spacious feel. The layout is ideal for both relaxation and entertaining, with ample space for a comfortable seating area and a dedicated dining space, creating a sociable yet stylish environment.
The kitchen is a contemporary space, with sleek white cabinetry and contrasting countertops. The vendors have thoughtfully added open wooden shelving, enhancing both storage and style. The modern subway-tiled backsplash complements the design, and integrated appliances, including a newly installed dishwasher and washer/dryer, add practicality. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining area, making it the perfect setting for casual dining or hosting guests.
Both bedrooms are doubles, quietly nestled to the rear of the home whilst still being separated from one another, allowing a desirable level of privacy for each. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, a soothing retreat complete with a bay window and bespoke Japanese-inspired cupboards for stylish and efficient storage. The second double bedroom is currently a lovely second lounge, doubling as a guest room with a futon in the bed recess created by the generous wardrobe space, a truly versatile room.
Completing the interior of this stunning home, the bathroom is equipped with a bathtub plus overhead rainfall shower and stylised in neutral, marbled tones. The entire apartment was painted just a couple of years ago, and the vendors have also invested in double-glazed windows throughout, enhancing soundproofing and energy-efficiency.
Beyond the apartment itself, the vendors have gone the extra mile in maintaining the building, having contributed to recently refurbishing the roof and sorting the front elevation just five years ago. The lease has also been extended, adding further security and longevity.
The icing on the cake is the roof garden, a very special place, an amazing oasis in the middle of central Brixton, a great place to chill and meet with friends and neighbours. This expansive communal terrace offers 360 degree views across Brixton and to the City beyond. Recently refurbished, this exceptional outdoor haven is loved and cared for by the residents of Connaught Mansions bringing a wholesome sense of community to the building. A real sun trap, perfect for enjoying summer picnics, nurturing potted plants or watching the breathtaking sun sets.
As far as locations go, it doesn’t get much better: you can be in central London in twenty minutes whilst still being situated within touching distance of the restaurants, coffee houses and boutique shops in Brixton Village and Coldharbour Lane itself, such as Mamma Dough Pizza, Okan Ramen and the Shrub and Shutter, to name a few. Windrush Square, The Ritzy, live music at the Whisky Tumbler, Parissi cafe, Canova Hall, Hot yoga and gym studios are also close by whilst Brixton tube and train stations (first stop on the Victoria Line), offer superb transport links within a couple of minutes’ walk. Multiple day and night bus routes into central London offer a great alternative for commuters. Offering an alternative to the roof terrace, the green, open spaces of Brockwell Park are reachable in fifteen-minutes, with Ruskin Park not much further in the other direction.
A truly special place to live, this fantastic home is sure to tick boxes for a wide range of purchasers.
