Chaucer Road, SE24

Keating Estates are proud to present to market a charming one double bedroom Victorian garden flat with a private terrace and a large, mature shared garden, complete with its own shed. Occupying the ground floor of a handsome semi-detached Victorian house on Chaucer Road, this beautifully presented flat enjoys a prime position in Poets’ Corner, a peaceful and highly desirable residential pocket between Brixton and Herne Hill, moments from Brockwell Park.

Accessed via its own private entrance, this fantastic home blends elegant period character with stylish contemporary finishes throughout. To the rear of the home, the attractive reception room offers comfortable dimensions for both lounging and dining. This inviting heart of the home boasts a characterful fireplace flanked by fitted storage and shelving, complete with light features to create soft mood lighting suited to quiet evenings in. French doors allow the summer air to breeze through the room, leading to the terrace and garden beyond.

The private terrace provides a delightful spot for morning coffee or al fresco dining, a lovely retreat right outside the French doors, allowing an ease of transition between outside and in. Steps lead up to a beautifully mature shared garden, lovingly cared for and offering a tranquil setting with ample space for hosting barbecues, relaxing in the sun, or indulging a passion for gardening. The garden also benefits from a private shed belonging to the flat, offering useful outdoor storage.

Back inside, the reception flows effortlessly into a modern shaker-style kitchen. The kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances, ample cabinetry and generous worktop space, perfect for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining, with pretty garden views through the window.

The generous double bedroom is located at the front of the flat, benefiting from large fitted wardrobes and space for a dressing table if desired. This stunning bedroom also features a sash bay window and plush carpets resulting in a calm, inviting ambience. Adjacent sits a thoughtfully designed utility and study area – ideal for working from home or for additional storage – with a discreet laundry cupboard housing a washing machine and dryer, neatly and quietly tucked away from the social spaces. The sleek bathroom completes this charming home, boasting a bathtub with overhead shower, sophisticated tiling, quality fixtures and plenty of built-in storage.

Poets’ Corner is a highly desirable enclave of Herne Hill, known for its peaceful streets and picturesque period homes, where the residents gather together for an annual street party with each road taking turns to organise this wholesome event. Chaucer Road itself sits right in the heart of this neighbourly pocket with the green open spaces of Brockwell Park just a short stroll away at the end of the street, perfect for weekend picnics, scenic walks or a dip in the lido.

The village-esque Herne Hill centre is just a five-minute stroll away, home to an array of independent cafes, restaurants, artisan shops and a farmers market adding to its welcoming feel. Herne Hill station offers speedy access to London Victoria in 10 minutes and the Thameslink service to London Blackfriars in 12 minutes, whilst Brixton tube is also within easy walking distance for the start of the Victoria Line, running 24hrs at the weekend. Just a ten-minute walk from your front door, central Brixton offers a vast array of entertainment options from the famous Brixton Village serving culinary delights to the Ritzy Cinema and Upstairs private members club just to name a few of the spots on offer. With Brockwell Park, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants and Brixton all on your doorstep, there really is something to cater for all tastes. There is also a swift network of buses, running day and night to whisk you from the end of the street to other areas of London, through Dulwich into Peckham, or over to Clapham and even into the city.

A truly charming and unique home, this beautifully presented apartment offers the rare blend of character, outside space and a private entrance – a real gem in a prime location.
