Property details

A grand three double bedroom split-level flat occupying the upper floors of a Victorian terraced house, located just moments from two of Brixton’s most popular primary schools and an eight-minute stroll from the fantastic transport links at Brixton station.

Measuring up at over 930 square feet of internal space, this beautiful home has been lovingly cared for and upgraded by the current owners and is a light and airy mix of contemporary design and characterful features, including a feature fireplace and sash windows.

An expansive open-plan reception room spans the width of the house, flooded with natural light from multiple sash windows, this versatile space enjoys stunning views over the central London skyline to be savoured from a relaxing spot on the sofa or over dinner with friends. The sociable vibe continues as the room wraps around into a well-equipped kitchen, fitted five years ago the space is designed with the modern chef in mind, integrated appliances, a wine fridge, a characterful butler sink and ample worktop and storage space are on offer, all whilst not interrupting the natural light which pours through the room.

Split across the upper floors are three generously proportioned double bedrooms, the master of which shares the city views whilst the others are nestled to the rear of the property and benefit from views over neighbouring gardens whilst still retaining privacy from those below. Two bathrooms complete this fantastic home, both of which have been tastefully and neutrally refurbished only a year ago. It’s easy to forget that you are indeed only a stone’s throw from the heart of Brixton and Brockwell Park.

Horsford Road is a sought-after leafy street that enjoys a neighbourly atmosphere and is situated an eight-minute walk to central Brixton and the Victoria Line, and a five-minute stroll to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park. A fourteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes and the market in sleepy Herne Hill. Both Sudbourne School and Corpus Christi primary schools (Ofsted rated Outstanding) are also within a few moments’ walk. Purchasers will have the amenities on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the White Horse Pub. The location is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action, yet retain a sense of calm. Excellent transport links are on offer with the first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station and multiple day and night buses running up and down Brixton Hill, whisking you down to the tube and onwards into central London.
