Property details

A wonderfully bright and characterful two double bedroom apartment that feels like a home from the moment you walk through the door. Occupying the top two floors of this handsome Victorian townhouse, the flat benefits from a secure location within the building and brilliant proportions throughout.

A large reception room spans the width of the property and occupies the front of the building. The room is bright and airy thanks to multiple windows typical to the character of the period in which it was built. There is more than enough room to relax and unwind or entertain guests, as well as to dine if desired. The large windows display stunning views over the idyllic Brockwell Park which resides quite literally within a stone’s throw.

A modern kitchen occupies the adjacent room, plenty of storage options and surface space on offer, with French doors that flood the room with natural light and fresh air. On the upper floor, two well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which spans the entire width of the building and the other tucked peacefully at the rear, overlooking the leafy neighbouring gardens below. A fully equipped modern bathroom serves the bedrooms on this floor and completes this charming period conversion flat.

The property is conveniently located opposite the vast spaces of Brockwell Park and its 1930s Lido. The pubs and restaurants in Herne Hill, the Sunday market, and the train station are all on your doorstep. In the other direction, you have all the amenities on offer in Tulse Hill with fantastic transport links into central London. Herne Hill and Tulse Hill stations allow access to Victoria, Canary Wharf, London Bridge and The City, all within forty minutes door to door. Last but not least, the restaurants and shops within the lauded Brixton Village, Brixton High Street and Brixton Station are all within walking distance. Having an entrance to Brockwell Park within touching distance is really appealing, and early registration of interest is advised.
