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.

Lovingly cared for by long-term owners, this charming yet practical home offers an exquisite balance of period character and modern enhancements. The property welcomes you into a stunning double reception room, brimming with characterful features including a large bay window, original cornicing, two feature fireplaces, and a charming curved feature wall. Original floorboards sweep through the space, enhancing the warmth and elegance. This beautifully open space has dividing doors which allow the option to separate the two reception areas, creating a cosier retreat when desired.
Flowing seamlessly to the rear, the heart of the home lies within the impressive extended kitchen, a true hub for family life and entertaining. The parquet flooring, complete with underfloor heating, adds a touch of luxury design, while wrap-around cabinetry provides generous storage, complemented by sleek, high-gloss finishes that reflect the natural light streaming through skylights above. A large dining area and secondary lounge space, anchored by a charming wood-burning stove, create the perfect setting for hosting friends and family.
Bi-fold doors open onto the landscaped garden, where a paved seating area transitions to steps leading up to a lush lawn, framed by planted borders. A second raised seating area at the rear ensures the perfect spot to unwind in the afternoon sun.
The upper floors house four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each thoughtfully arranged for comfort and style. The largest bedroom is a haven of light which spans the width of the property, boasting an elegant bay window, painted original floorboards, and a feature fireplace. Sitting peacefully atop the home, the principal suite is also bathed in light from three skylights, plush carpeting, and a contemporary en-suite with a luxurious walk-in shower. To the rear, two further double bedrooms enjoy leafy garden views; one particularly generous room currently doubles as a home office and cinema space, while the fourth double bedroom is still a genuine double, currently a charming children’s room featuring fitted wardrobes and bunk beds.
The stylish main bathroom is complete with a roll-top bath positioned below the window, a separate walk-in shower, and underfloor heating ensuring toasty toes all year round. A separate WC also services the home, suited to busy morning routines whilst an upstairs utility area provides practicality, keeping the laundry neatly and quietly tucked away, allowing the sociable spaces downstairs to be fully enjoyed.
