Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market a lofty one double bedroom split-level flat set within a Victorian terraced house on a quiet road in one of Brixton’s most popular residential pockets. Craster Road is a peaceful street with a local pub and shops around the corner, within close proximity to Brockwell Park and the amenities of Brixton.

This unique property offers a generous 630 square feet of internal space, split over the first and second floors to create a homely feel that is sunny and not overlooked. A bright and airy open plan reception room is nestled over the upper floor, boasting characterful lofty ceilings to create a cavernous feel - which must be seen to be appreciated - with cosy nooks, ideal for curling up on the sofa. The kitchen is stylish with fluted wooden cabinetry offering ample storage, with black tiles and surfaces to finish, reflected in the floor tiles which are tastefully dispersed between the floorboards. Completing the upper floor is a versatile study, which can be repurposed to suit the needs of the purchaser, including as a meditation space, dressing room, games room or reading corner.

Downstairs the double bedroom boasts generous built-in storage space, a peaceful and neutrally decorated room which enjoys leafy views over the neighbouring gardens below. Adjacent, the bathroom is styled in natural tones and offers storage, a heated towel rail and an inviting double-ended bath with rain shower overhead, ideal for a soak in the bubbles after a walk around the nearby Brockwell Park or Holmewood Gardens.

With a versatile layout, homely and private feel, large square footage over two floors and characterful features this appealing flat will make an excellent first time purchase or pied a terre.

Craster Road is situated an eighteen -minute stroll to the culinary and nightlife mecca of Brixton, and eight minutes to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park with its iconic 1930’s Lido and unrivalled sports facilities. A fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes and restaurants of Herne Hill. Purchasers have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the ever-popular White Horse Pub, as well as neighbourhood favourite, the Elm Park Tavern, just up the road and incredible chocolate-almond croissants served at Le Dailycorner Cafe. This location is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action yet wants to retain a sense of calm. The first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is a short stroll down the hill and multiple buses run up and down Brixton Hill, whisking you down to the tube within a few minutes and through into central London. The buses offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations for commuters into central London, with buses coming and going every other minute. With Brockwell Park, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants and Brixton Village all nearby, there really is something to cater for everyone.

Chain-free. Share of Freehold.
