Property details

Situated within a purpose-built property this lovely two bedroom apartment with a private balcony is well-located, quietly tucked away between Brixton and Streatham Hill. Set over the ground floor with views over open green space, the flat benefits from a South-facing aspect to the balcony and a variety of local amenities and transport links on the doorstep.

Forming the heart of the home, a spacious reception room is neutrally presented, a blank canvas with solid wood flooring, bathed in sunlight from large South-facing windows and a patio door leading out to the private balcony which overlooks the surrounding green spaces, complete with new playground. With ample room to lounge and dine this is the perfect space in which to unwind or entertain guests. Situated across the hall, a separate kitchen keeps the aromas of cooking away from the social spaces, and offers a multitude of storage options, as well as including amenities such as a fridge/freezer, oven and hob, and a washing machine.

Ideal for sharers or those wishing to rent out a room, both bedrooms are sizeable doubles, featuring built in wardrobes and warming wooden flooring with large double glazed windows, enjoying the same leafy views as the reception room. Completing the interior of this versatile apartment is a well-sized bathroom, fitted with both bath and shower, finished with trendy wooden under-sink cabinetry to offer neat storage, with a separate WC adjacent. Should the new purchaser prefer, given the location of the two rooms next to one another, there is the potential to combine into one family bathroom subject to the necessary permissions.

This flexible ground floor apartment complete with well-proportioned rooms and outside space will appeal to wide range of purchasers and would make a fantastic first home, buy-to-let or pied-à-terre, in a great location whilst being quietly secluded away from the hustle and bustle.
