Property details

A fine example of a one-bedroom, Victorian conversion garden flat, brimming with character and located on one of Brixton’s most popular residential streets. Lambert Road is located just off Brixton Hill, within close proximity to the amenities in both Brixton and Clapham. This ground floor property is located within a handsome, detached Victorian house and has multiple selling points, although the pièce de résistance has to be the spacious open-plan reception and kitchen. A fantastic room with characterful features including wooden flooring, a bay window and high ceilings with coving. The beautifully finished kitchen is sleek and modern, and there is also plenty of space for a dining table and a dedicated area to relax in the reception room. The conversion has been thought through and there are multiple built-in cupboards above the kitchen, providing the perfect storage solution for all those items which are not used on a daily basis.

Down the charmingly tiled hallway, the bathroom has been recently refurbished to a high standard, complete with stylish tiling and a roll-top bath. Tucked away quietly to the rear of the property, the bedroom is a comfortable double room, with plenty of space for storage. Double doors allow for an abundance of natural light as well as providing access onto the private South facing garden, the perfect spot in which to relax or entertain during the warmer months and a fantastic selling point. The flat is in great condition with a refreshing mix of period features and modern design throughout.

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.
