Canterbury Crescent, SW9

A bright and beautifully characterful two double bedroom apartment, delightfully arranged over the second floor of a Victorian mansion block, which boasts a blue plaque and benefits from a shared garden, moments from the heart of Brixton. Canterbury Crescent is a five-minute walk from Brixton’s popular hangouts; Pop Brixton, Market Row and Brixton Village as well a first stop on the Victoria line.

Almost 800 square feet of internal space has been well-utilised to create two generous double bedrooms, a fantastic reception and a stylish separate eat-in kitchen. The property has access to a sunny, low-maintenance shared garden and lockable bike storage.

Period features throughout add to the endearing character of this stylish and well-located flat. High ceilings and large windows flood each room with natural light and add to the sense of space. The handsome reception room at the front of the building boasts a stunning feature fireplace and fantastic dimensions for lounging and entertaining. The separate kitchen is finished with subway back-splash tiling, modern integrated appliances and abundant storage options. The kitchen also offers plenty of space to dine and feeds through to a handy, separate utility room.

Both bedrooms are genuine doubles that are perfect for sharers as they are fairly equal in size. The bedrooms sit adjacent to a contemporary family-sized bathroom. The entire block was renovated with high-quality workmanship 15 years ago. There are very low energy costs and good sound insulation to the flats, so no fear of disturbing the neighbours if you want to have a dinner party.
