Property details

Spanning over 1740 square feet, split over three floors and set within a stunning Victorian school conversion, this South-facing loft-style apartment with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus off-street allocated parking and demised outside space, has unique characteristics that allow it to stand out from other properties in this price range. Park Lofts is set on a leafy residential road, nestled between Clapham and Brixton High Streets and benefitting from all that both of these sought-after areas have to offer.

Beautifully presented throughout, this exceptional home is flooded with light, thanks to the South-facing double-height sash windows. The property will appeal to a wide range of purchasers due to the considerable overall square footage and versatility of the space on offer, which is beautifully combined with endearing period character and appealing modern finishes.

The property has a demised garden area directly outside, ideal for dining al-fresco and savouring the British summer. Nestled within the manicured grounds, the new owner will benefit from the secure, community feel within the development, an off street allocated parking space and the peace of mind that the area is gated with CCTV.

The initial reception room on the ground floor is a beautiful, spacious room, ideal for entertaining and spanning twenty feet in either direction. Wooden floor boards, an open staircase and a glass floor are all appealing characteristics and it will be difficult to find rival properties that are able to compete in terms of dimensions. Having access to direct outside space is more important than ever, so being able to open the doors and spill out from the reception room into the grounds, is a nice feature.

Stairs lead to two double bedrooms on the floor above. The principle bedroom is a fantastic size with ample built in storage and the two bedrooms both have luxurious en-suite bathrooms.

The final floor of the property comprises an impressive open-plan kitchen and a large dining/ reception room. This level provides further garden access, which also adds to the pleasant atmosphere as fresh air can breeze into the property through two sets of French doors. The industrial style kitchen is on trend and offers tons of storage, surface space, high-en and comfortable dimensions for large appliances, such as the dual-fuel range cooker, all the appliances are of a high quality. Further appliances can be tucked away out of sight, in the hidden utility area. The reception space that the kitchen opens onto is perfect for a casual lounge area, whilst still providing great dimensions for a large dining table. The space is cool in the summer and warm in the winter as it boasts underfloor heating and an electric fireplace for added cosiness.

Split over three floors and with a private entrance, this property feels like a home and with nearly 1750 square feet of internal living space on offer, this maisonette will have a larger total square footage than a lot of the freehold houses within close proximity that have considerably higher asking prices.

This property is a truly unique offering for anyone seeking their own private haven, away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to both Brixton and Clapham to enjoy all the benefits that these two in demand areas have to offer. The cafes, bars and restaurants of Brixton are all within walking distance, with Brixton Village, POP Brixton, The Ritzy cinema and the legendary Brixton Academy all at your fingertips. A short walk in the other direction takes you to Clapham High Street offering vibrant nightlife and culinary delights and the charming Abbeville Village. The purchaser will benefit from the Northern Line (Clapham North and Clapham Common tube stations), the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station) and the buses of Brixton Hill which arrive every few minutes whisking you down to central Brixton and beyond.
