Property details

This exceptional, split-level, three double bedroom, three bathroom apartment occupies the first and second floors of one of the pretty terraced houses on Helix Road. The property has a lovely Victorian facade is situated in the heart of the ever-popular Josephine Avenue Conservation area, a quiet and leafy network of similarly attractive, Victorian terraced roads. The centre of Brixton, South London's new culinary mecca, is a ten-twelve minute walk, with all it has to offer in terms of restaurants, nightlife and transport links, whilst arguably London’s finest open space, Brockwell Park, with its iconic 1930s Lido, is close by.

This property is packed full of character with fantastic dimensions and really makes the most of its large rooms and open spaces. Split over four levels and with over 1240 square feet of internal space, there is a light and airy atmosphere throughout. The double aspect reception and eat-in kitchen diner is a stunning room with high ceilings, wooden floorboards, bespoke shelving and a feature fireplace. An amazing entertaining area which spans the width of the building with views out of the square bay window over the neighbouring terrace row. The contemporary kitchen has all you need in terms of mod cons and ample room for a large dining table. The three double bedrooms are on separate floors and like the reception room, all have great dimensions. The master bedroom suite is tucked away quietly at the top of the building and has been converted in style with plentiful built-in storage and access to a beautifully finished bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower. There are two further modern bathrooms, leaving the new purchasers spoilt for choice.

This bright apartment is nestled in a leafy part of vibrant and thriving Brixton, cushioned amongst the attractive Victorian houses of beautiful, tree-lined Helix Road. Situated a ten-twelve minute stroll to all that central Brixton has to offer, purchasers also have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the White Horse Pub. This exquisite flat is ideal for anyone who wants to be close to the action while maintaining a sense of calm. The new owner will have the best of both worlds with everything on offer in the hustle and bustle of central Brixton, yet able to retire to the quieter village-like community that has been developed around Brixton Hill. First stop on the Victoria Line, Brixton tube station is a stroll down the hill, whisking you into central London and the City within a few minutes. The buses also offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations, with a bus stop at the end of the road, a stone’s throw from the development. The location is ideal with the green, open spaces of Brockwell Park within a five-minute walk. A pleasant fifteen-minute saunter across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes, restaurants and Sunday market of leafy Herne Hill. The village-feel continues with easy access to Dulwich Village, East Dulwich and trendy Peckham, catering for the wants and needs of the majority of potential purchasers. The staircases meandering up through the property, a substantial square footage and plenty of characterful features make this charming split level apartment feel like a home.
