Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this beautifully renovated two double bedroom garden flat, occupying the ground floor of an attractive Victorian conversion on the sought-after Leander Road. Ideally positioned on a low traffic street within close proximity to a local parade of shops and cafes, the vast greenery of Brockwell Park, and all that central Brixton has to offer.

Having undergone extensive upgrades during the current ownership, this exceptional home seamlessly blends period character with contemporary design, creating a stylish and versatile living environment ready to be enjoyed from day one.

At the heart of the property is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room, extended in 2023 to create an impressive entertaining space bathed in natural light from overhead skylights and glazed French doors to the garden. Designed by passionate home cooks, the high-quality kitchen is both beautiful and practical, featuring integrated appliances, elegant Artemistone worktops, ample storage and a sociable breakfast island. Engineered hardwood flooring flows throughout, enhancing the sense of space and quality. With plenty of space for both casual and formal dining, in addition to a lounge area overlooking the garden, this impressive hub of the home is sure to be cherished.

Double doors open onto a private rear garden, a wonderfully low-maintenance sun trap that offers the perfect setting for outdoor dining, summer entertaining or quiet relaxation. The front garden also belongs to the property and benefits from a convenient bike loop.

To the front of the home, a generously proportioned room is currently arranged as a second lounge, demonstrating the flexibility of the layout. Equally suited as a principal bedroom, guest room or home office, this elegant space enjoys a large bay window fitted with bespoke hardwood double glazing and plantation shutters, alongside an original fireplace and beautiful period proportions. The second double bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook over the courtyard and is also rich in Victorian charm, boasting high corniced ceilings, original floorboards, fitted wardrobes and a characterful feature fireplace framed by a marble surround. Completing the accommodation, the stylish bathroom has been thoughtfully redesigned with Fired Earth monochrome tiling and a contemporary shower, featuring striking black-framed glazing and coordinating black fixtures.

Further benefits include brand-new electrics, hardwood double-glazed windows throughout, bespoke plantation shutters and the careful preservation of original Victorian features, including fireplaces and decorative cornicing. There is also a spacious cellar, helping to keep the home neat and tidy. Combining timeless character with high-specification modern upgrades, this outstanding home offers flexible living and effortless entertaining in one of Brixton’s most desirable residential pockets.

Leander Road is a leafy residential street with a true sense of community, a neighbourly road locally famous for hosting their annual summer street party.
