Property details

This well-presented, two double bedroom Victorian maisonette is perfectly positioned on Glenelg Road, a sleepy residential street, perfectly located for the amenities and transport links in central Brixton, yet far enough away to retain a sense of calm. This beautifully airy ground floor maisonette offers fantastic living space, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, and truly feels like a home, as soon as you walk through the door.

The property is accessed through its own front door and into a bright hallway. To the front of the flat is a smart reception room, tastefully finished and packed full of character, including sash windows, a feature fireplace, high ceilings, and exposed wooden flooring. Adjacent is a spacious double bedroom with built-in storage, a charming feature fireplace and views onto the private rear patio. The eat-in kitchen is the perfect central hub of the flat. There is plenty of room for a large dining table, perfect for those who enjoy entertaining on a regular basis. The space flows effortlessly onto a low-maintenance private garden, the ideal spot in which to relax with a drink during the warmer months and feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle, in these quiet and leafy streets. To the rear of the flat, the master bedroom is tucked away quietly, along with the sleek, recently fitted bathroom with stylish tiling.

Glenelg Road is a quiet and peaceful residential street, located equidistant to amenities in both Brixton and Clapham, appealing to purchasers looking to buy in both of these sought-after neighbourhoods. The Northern and Victoria tube lines in Clapham and Brixton respectively are both within a ten to fifteen-minute walk, whilst the cafes, bars and restaurants of up-and-coming Acre Lane are easily accessible, with local heroes such as Boqueria Tapas, The Beast of Brixton, and Blank Coffee, to name a few, all on the doorstep. In one direction there is all Brixton has to offer with Brockwell Park and the extremely popular Brixton Village, to large brand shops and first-rate transport links. In the other direction is the vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street, offering great nightlife, and the green open spaces of Clapham Common. Well-heeled Abbeville Village is also within walking distance, with its multitude of boutiques, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants.

Brixton area highlights

Brixton is a melting pot of culture, cuisine and creativity. An explosion of inventive, new restaurants, pop-ups, fashion stores and art galleries sit alongside the many great pubs, music venues and nightclubs that have been around for years. Transport links are excellent, with London Underground (Victoria Line) trains reaching central London in 12 minutes. If you’re craving green space, Brockwell Park and its famed Art Deco lido are close by. Brixton brings together all the best things about London and is one of the most vibrant and diverse places to live south of the river.
