Property details

A stunning split level, two double bedroom characterful purpose-built Victorian maisonette on an aesthetically pleasing residential street, tucked away quietly off Brixton Hill. The location is key, attracting purchasers contemplating moving to Brixton and Clapham. Brixton is situated within a ten to twelve-minute walk, with super-fast links to Central London, the lauded Brixton Village and the wide-open spaces of Brockwell Park. Within a twelve to fourteen-minute walk you have all that Clapham has to offer with transport links that include Clapham High Street station and Clapham North tube station.

With nearly 1100 square feet of internal living space, the property offers generous proportions throughout, which is exceptionally rare to find. This gorgeous apartment is in fantastic condition and has been completely refurbished throughout over time, featuring in property magazines for the tasteful décor.

This sociable property has its own entrance with stairs that lead to the first-floor landing. Tucked away at the back of the building is a contemporary eat-in kitchen diner which is a fantastic size with all you need in terms of mod cons and space for a dining table that can fit 10. A spacious reception room spans the entire width of the building with a feature fireplace, square bay window with window seat, and high ceilings which all contribute to confirm that this room will be used on a regular basis. Sitting adjacent is a double bedroom with bespoke shelving and a beautifully finished family bathroom.

Stairs lead to the second floor and a comfortable loft-style bedroom with ample built-in storage and a wonderfully private South facing decked roof terrace, perfect for the warmer months. Last but not least there is the possibility to add value by installing a rear mansard roof extension, which has had planning permission approved, should the new purchasers choose to (details can be provided on request). The staircases meandering up through the property, a large square footage and your own front door make this charming maisonette feel like a home.

The property will appeal to a wide range of potential purchasers, who will benefit from all that Brixton offers, from the celebrated cuisine of Brixton Village to the music venues and nightlife the area is famous for. There are local amenities within a two-minute walk, as well as a selection of pubs, bars, restaurants and supermarkets on Brixton Hill and Effra Road. It is also a ten-minute stroll to Brockwell Park, claimed by some as the finest park in London. Brixton tube station is a ten-twelve minute walk down the hill, and there is a bus stop within a stone’s throw, with numerous buses that run all day and night, taking no more than a couple of minutes down Brixton Hill. Clapham High Street and Abbeville Village are also a similar distance, offering excellent transport links with three Northern Line underground stations, Clapham High Street station on the Overground and numerous bus routes to other areas of London. Venn Street and its multitude of restaurants and bars, the green open spaces of Clapham Common are all within walking distance. Abbeville Village boasts the quaint, boutique shops, cafes and restaurants the area is known for.
