Property details

We are pleased to offer to market this four double bedroom Victorian family home. The property has an attractive period facade and is nestled on Rattray Road, a popular residential road, a short stroll from central Brixton and Brockwell Park.

The ground floor of this period property comprises a bright double aspect reception and dining room at the front of the building with a lovely bay window, high ceilings and views through the un-extended side return and into the garden. The layout is versatile and these two rooms could be opened further or separated, depending on the purchaser's requirements. To the rear of the property is a country-style kitchen with a convenient utility room and direct access onto the quiet and sunny rear garden. The outside space is beautifully maintained with raised flowerbeds, the perfect entertaining area to enjoy the warmer months.

The first floor comprises three comfortable double bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom and a separate WC. The master bedroom runs the width of the building, providing views out over the pretty terraces opposite. Stairs lead to the second floor and the fourth spacious double bedroom.

This home is a blank canvas, making it an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to stamp their own mark on a property over time. A brilliant selling point for this characterful Victorian home is the versatility the house offers; with over 1500 square feet of internal living space, the layout can be altered to suit the purchaser's living requirements. The property benefits from considerable loft space and a cellar offers storage options for the most experienced of hoarders. There is also potential to extend, subject to the necessary permissions, into the side return or up into the loft allowing the new owner to further maximise the abundance of living space available.

As far as locations go, it’s ideal: the property is situated in an extremely popular residential pocket, within a short walk from the amenities in both Brixton and Herne Hill. From Brixton Village to Brockwell Park on your doorstep, this property will appeal to a vast range of purchasers. The centre of Brixton is a five-minute walk, with all it has to offer in terms of nightlife, restaurants and shopping. Leafy Herne Hill is a ten-minute stroll in the opposite direction, with what many local residents regard as London's best green space, Brockwell Park, located at the end of the road. With Brixton Village, Brockwell Park, and Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants all on your doorstep, there is something to cater for all tastes. In short, a property with potential on a desirable street, close to the action but far enough away to offer a tranquil feel.
