Perfectly placed between Streatham, Dulwich, Brixton and the up and coming West Norwood, this area is one of the hidden gems of London. It will soon find itself on the move with its proximity to Brockwell Park, its larger than average Victorian housing stock and its transport links to central London. Brockwell park being on the doorstep cannot be underestimated in terms of lifestyle value, from its amazing views over the city to its beautiful hills and grand trees to its tennis courts, the universally lauded Lido spa complex, regular events, great pubs that border it and community gardens (and spirit). The high streets of West Norwood and West Dulwich are just minutes away too.

Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this fantastic two double bedroom Victorian garden flat with a private entrance, secluded wrap-around garden, a versatile garden studio, and a bright study area. This characterful home is nestled within a handsome Victorian house within close proximity of the amenities in Tulse Hill and Herne Hill, plus the green open spaces of Brockwell Park.
This charming property welcomes with its own private entrance, leading through a smart hallway to an inviting open-plan reception, boasting a large bay window fitted with classic plantation shutters. Period cornicing graces the high ceilings, and the generous proportions offer space to both unwind and host, with a natural zone for a dining table beside the window. The kitchen is sleek and neutral, fitted with gloss cabinetry and wooden worktops that wrap around into a sociable breakfast bar, suited to informal dining and entertaining.
Contemporary flooring sweeps throughout the room and the remainder of this lovely property, giving a sense of cohesion and calm throughout. As you move down the hallway, you’re drawn into a tranquil study area in the centre of the home. Decorated in bold yellow tones this is a pleasant and inspiring space to work from home, with French doors open directly onto the private garden, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor feel and elevating the appeal.
The private wrap-around garden is a peaceful and well-considered retreat, with a gravelled seating area ideal for al fresco dining and a generous lawn beyond. Thanks to the unique positioning of the surrounding buildings, the garden enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion and benefits from excellent natural light. Nestled at the rear, a garden room provides versatile additional space—currently set up as an occasional guest room and laundry area, but equally suited for use as a home gym, yoga studio, office, or even a stylish outdoor bar. A separate store room adjacent to the studio adds further practicality.
Back inside, both bedrooms are positioned peacefully away from the street and enjoy complete privacy from one another. The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary, with further French doors opening onto the garden, ideal for welcoming in the summer breeze on a slow weekend morning. Notably quiet, this bedroom shares no adjoining walls—up, down, left, or right—and is wonderfully warm and well-insulated, perfect for light sleepers. The second bedroom, still a well-proportioned double, overlooks the side return of the garden through a large sash window. Alcove storage either side of the chimney breast offers the perfect opportunity for fitted wardrobes or shelving. Centrally located, the stylish bathroom is finished in crisp white tiling with a subtle feature floor and is complete with a bathtub and overhead rain shower.
Additional storage is found in a generous understairs cupboard beside the private entrance. Precedent has also been set on the surrounding roads should the purchaser wish to seek the necessary permissions to extend into the side return in the future.
Probyn Road is a leafy, residential street, perfectly positioned for access to the amenities of Tulse Hill and West Norwood, with Herne Hill, Brixton and Streatham all within ease of access. There are local shops, pubs, restaurants and even a pottery studio on your doorstep, with Tulse Hill train station just a three-minute walk away offering direct trains to London Bridge and central London via Southern Rail and the Thames Link.
The village-esq vibe of West Norwood high street is also just a six-minute stroll away, boasting a Picturehouse cinema, eateries and shopping facilities, whilst Streatham's vibrant high street and pretty Herne Hill are also within easy walking distance. Brockwell Park is a short meander down the road, lauded as London's best outdoor space by locals with its iconic 1930s Lido among its myriad attractions. Brixton is also a five-minute bus journey or a pleasant thirty-minute stroll through Brockwell Park.
This well-appointed flat is a delightful blend of character and functionality, offering a peaceful retreat within moments of vibrant urban living.
