Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market a handsome one double-bedroom garden flat located on a popular residential street, in the heart of the Josephine Avenue conservation area. Leander Road is a popular neighbourly street, perfectly located for the amenities and transport links in central Brixton and Herne Hill, a short stroll from the rolling green spaces of Brockwell Park.

The property is accessed on the ground floor of a striking Victorian house. This beautiful flat has countless selling points, including the spacious reception room at the front of the property. An inviting room with an abundance of features, including high ceilings, original flooring, a working fireplace, and a stunning bay window with stylish shutters, plus a handy in-built desk. Tucked away just adjacent is the generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and French doors onto the un-extended side return and garden beyond, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the room. The new purchasers could look to extend into the side return (subject to the necessary permissions), increasing the overall size and adding value.

Down the hallway, the beautifully designed, dine-in kitchen has everything any keen cooks may require in terms of mod cons and storage. Finished with shaker-style cabinetry and wooden worktops with exposed brickwork framing the range cooker to create a homely country-style feel. A pretty bay window with fitted benched seating provides the perfect space for a large dining table, a fantastic opportunity for those who enjoy entertaining dinner guests. A luxurious, contemporary bathroom with both bath and rain head shower concludes the rooms within the property, whilst a handy cellar provides space for storing away those essential yet rarely used belongings.

To top it all off, the secluded, low-maintenance garden is accessed from both the kitchen and bedroom and has been recently landscaped. This wonderful garden feels incredibly peaceful: it is easy to forget you are indeed just a few minutes’ stroll from vibrant and buzzing Brixton Hill. A leafy and sunny space, the perfect spot in which to host garden parties, or simply relax with a book, whenever the weather permits.

Leander Road is a leafy residential street with a true sense of community, a neighbourly road locally famous for hosting their annual summer street party. This sought-after road is set within a low traffic neighborhood which makes the road very, very quiet. Located a short walk to the centre of Brixton offering the culinary delights of Brixton Village and a wide array of cultural entertainment choices whilst also being the first stop on the Victoria line. Moments away is a large supermarket and various cafes, pubs and restaurants, such as Naughty Piglets, Stir Coffee and the Elm Park Tavern. The green, open spaces of Brockwell Park are also a stone’s throw away, along with its iconic 1930’s Lido and fantastic sports facilities. The amenities and transport links in Herne Hill are a pleasant ten minute stroll through Brockwell Park, this lovely, versatile property will appeal to purchasers considering moving to both areas. There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the style, characterful features, outside space and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer.
