Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present this two bedroom garden flat for sale on the well-located Strathleven Road, equidistant to Clapham and Brixton. Rarely available, this stunning flat is end of terrace with its own front door and triple aspect windows creating an incredibly light and bright atmosphere.

From the moment you step through the private entrance, this larger-than-average flat feels like a truly unique home. The spacious reception room is bathed in sunlight from a large South-facing bay window and features high ceilings decorated with cornicing and space to accommodate a dining table, the ideal room in which to unwind in front of the characterful fireplace. A separate kitchen sits adjacent, enjoying the same sunny aspect and equipped with generous storage options within shaker style cabinetry and finished with a stylish patterned floor. Keeping the laundry neatly tucked away, a designated utility room feeds off the kitchen, a rare and handy luxury adding to the appeal of this fantastic flat.

The principal bedroom is a particularly large double with built-in wardrobes and shelving tastefully recessed into the chimney breast, this lovely room has a calming atmosphere created by characterful features including an original wooden door, high corniced ceilings and sash windows set within a large square bay. Still a genuine double, the second bedroom resides at the opposing end of the property, ideal for sharers or those requiring a guest room and a peaceful home office overlooking the garden, akin to how this versatile room is currently configured. Completing the interior, the bathroom is set in a central position for best serving all rooms and is equipped with both a shower and bath. Planning permission has been approved to reconfigure the layout at a later date, should the new purchaser desire a more open setup.

The garden is a generously proportioned sun trap with the configuration of the surrounding buildings ensuring a particularly private outside space, ideal for soaking up the sun’s rays and relishing in the warmer months of the year. Side access to the garden is the cherry on the cake for those with pushchairs or bikes.

Strathleven Road is a quiet and neighbourly street, ideally located an equidistant walk in under fifteen minutes to the amenities in both Brixton and Clapham, appealing to purchasers looking to buy in both of these sought-after neighbourhoods. The overground, Northern and Victoria tube lines in Clapham and Brixton respectively are nearby, whilst the cafes, bars and restaurants of up-and-coming Acre Lane are easily accessible, with local heroes such as Madelina, Blank Coffee and Stir Coffee on Brixton Hill as well as large supermarkets, all on the doorstep. In one direction there is all Brixton has to offer from the extremely popular Brixton Village to large brand shops and first-rate transport links with Brockwell Park a short amble down Lambert Road. In the other direction is the vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street, offering great nightlife, and the green open spaces of Clapham Common. Abbeville Village is also a fifteen-minute stroll away with its multitude of boutiques, bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants.

An explosion of inventive, new restaurants, pop-ups, fashion stores and art galleries sit alongside the many great pubs, music venues and nightclubs that have been around for years. Transport links are excellent, with London Underground (Victoria Line) trains reaching central London in 12 minutes. If you’re craving green space, Brockwell Park and its famed Art Deco lido are close by. Brixton brings together all the best things about London and is one of the most vibrant and diverse places to live south of the river.
