Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this grand two double bedroom flat with a private garden including a garden office and side access. Set within a semi-detached Victorian house on Appach Road a quiet and friendly no through road, looping around off the leafy Josephine Avenue, close to both Brixton and Herne Hill with a supermarket moments away.

Split over the upper floors for maximum light and privacy, this beautiful home has been lovingly cared for and upgraded by the current owners to create an appealing balance of contemporary design with characterful features, including wooden floorboards, sash windows and a Sheila maid.

An expansive open-plan reception room spans the width of the house, flooded with natural light from multiple sash windows, this versatile space provides a welcoming hub in which to savour a relaxing spot on the sofa or entertain friends around the dinner table. The sociable vibe continues as the room wraps around into a well-equipped kitchen, recently fitted, the space is designed with the modern chef in mind with integrated appliances including induction hob, a characterful butler sink, modern chevron flooring plus ample worktop and storage space are on offer, all whilst not interrupting the natural light which pours through the room. A second, more relaxed dining area is nestled under the kitchen window, ideal for enjoying a lazy brunch with garden views.

Set on differing floors to the rear of the property, peacefully tucked away from the already quiet street, are two generously sized double bedrooms of similar proportions, a rarity for period conversions. Both bedrooms benefit from garden views, and are equipped with plush carpets and fitted wardrobes, each with a bathroom conveniently adjacent. Vibrant and stylish, one of the bathrooms offers a walk-in shower whilst the other, more traditional bathroom is neutral with a bathtub for those moments a soak in the bubbles is desired. It’s easy to forget that you are indeed only a stone’s throw from the heart of Brixton and Brockwell Park.

The garden is particularly private, set away from the surrounding properties and benefitting from additional natural light in this sunny South-West facing spot. Dine al-fresco on the patio area surrounded by lawn and shrubs, or work from home in the tranquil garden office. A real cherry on the cake, this versatile room is equipped with electricity, easily repurposed to suit needs such as a home gym if remote working isn’t required.

Of further benefit within this exceptional apartment, there is access to a large loft space, ideal for storage with precedent set on the road should the new owner wish to seek the necessary permissions to extend. The property had new windows installed in 2018 and a new boiler in 2019.

Appach Road is a leafy residential road with a friendly feel due to the nature of the horseshoe shape of the street there is little traffic flow and the residents generally get to know one another. Moments away is a large brand supermarket and various cafes, delis, bars and restaurants, such as Naughty Piglets and Maremma, plus to the other end of Josephine Avenue the amenities of Brixton Hill such as Stir Coffee and the White Horse Pub. The green, open spaces of Brockwell Park are also a stone’s throw away, less than four minutes’ walk, along with its iconic 1930s Lido and fantastic sports facilities. This sought-after road is 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. The independent eateries and pretty market plus the Thameslink trains in village-esq Herne Hill are a pleasant twelve-minute stroll through Brockwell Park.

Early registration of interest is advised. Share of freehold.
