Property details

An incredible three double bedroom apartment, split over two floors and set back from the road within an attractive Victorian end-of-terrace townhouse, minutes from the heart of Brixton. This beautifully finished property boasts enviable dimensions and a manicured, private rear garden, a five-minute walk from the first stop on the Victoria line.

The private rear garden spans over 70 feet in length, with a pretty patio at the back for BBQs, abundant mature plants, lighting throughout and a handy side gate.

The raised ground floor comprises a spacious reception, complete with a working log-burner high ceilings and a large bay window. Adjacent, the eat-in bespoke kitchen is truly stunning and has been recently fitted in the last 18 months. Fully integrated with abundant storage, surface space and complete with a Smeg range oven and a wine fridge. The dark, matte finish and wood splash-back are stylish and impactful, the room is complete with fashionable light fixtures and plenty of space for a large dining table. A handy WC is also tucked away off the hallway.

All three bedrooms are peacefully arranged over the floor below. The principal bedroom has a particularly appealing finish and a seamless transition onto the rear garden via bi-folding doors, allowing fresh air to breeze through whenever desired. The en-suite bathroom is beautifully finished, with underfloor heating and a free-standing roll-top bathtub. The second bedroom is also particularly spacious and offers considerable built-in storage, neighbouring a sleek bathroom. The third bedroom is a useful space, cleverly laid out by the current owners to offer both a guest bedroom and a home office, maximising on the square footage available. An impressive and beautifully presented property, from top to bottom.

Vibrant and bustling Brixton is just around the corner, but the property feels like a million miles away, set back from the road and tucked away peacefully. Minutes from the heart of Brixton, a stone’s throw from the restaurants, bars and cafés that make up the culinary Mecca of Atlantic Road and central Brixton. The property is within a five-minute walk of Brixton tube station and with Victoria thirteen minutes away door-to-door and The City only twenty-one minutes away, this is a great flat for a wide range of purchasers, as a pied-a-terre in London or as a rental investment.
