Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this charming two bedroom first floor flat set within a beautiful double-fronted Victorian conversion, positioned on the desirable Leander Road, a quiet residential street in the heart of Brixton. Occupying the first floor, this spacious home is a wonderful blend of period charm and practical contemporary living which has been lovingly cared for by the current long-term owner.

As you approach the property, the double-fronted Victorian façade sets a welcoming tone, offering instant kerb appeal with its classic brickwork and decorative detailing.

Upon entering the property, the inviting hallway leads to the impressive reception room, spanning almost six meters in length. This expansive space benefits from three large sash windows, flooding the room with natural light and enhancing the sense of openness as well as being a great spot to enjoy an evening’s sunset. The room’s proportions allow for clearly defined lounge and dining areas, making it an ideal setting for both relaxing and entertaining. The generous ceiling height adds to the room’s elegance, while the neutral décor creates a calm and inviting atmosphere. Further features include original exposed floorboards which have been draught proofed as well as a decorative fireplace.

Boasting a fantastic combination of character and modern design, the separate kitchen is a practical and thoughtfully designed space, situated to the rear of the property. This stylish and functional room has been fitted with shaker style cabinetry with brass hardware, generous worktops and integrated appliances, including an oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer. The layout allows for efficient meal preparation, while the ceramic sink overlooks the neighbouring gardens through a charming sash-window which brings in excellent light and ventilation.

Both bedrooms are doubles and have been upgraded with double-glazed windows. The principal bedroom provides a tranquil retreat, boasting stylish sisal flooring and two large sash-windows which draw in plenty of natural light, framed by café style plantation shutters and neutral curtains. Neatly built-in wardrobes provide plentiful storage, as well as enough space for additional storage options, and the perfect spot for a quiet reading nook. Located at the far end of the hallway, is the second bedroom. With a window overlooking the rear, it benefits from a peaceful outlook and good levels of natural light. This room is highly versatile and could function as a guest bedroom, a child’s room, or a generous home office. For those who work remotely or require a creative space, this room provides a serene environment with minimal distractions. The bathroom is neatly positioned between the bedrooms, making it easily accessible for all within the home, including guests. It features a bathtub with overhead shower, all finished in a neutral scheme.

If all this weren’t enough, the boiler has also been recently replaced offering further peace of mind.

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. Neighbourhood favourite, the Elm Park Tavern is just up the road. Along with a parade of shops and cafes right on your doorstep. Also moments away in the other direction is a large supermarket and various cafes, pubs and restaurants, such as Naughty Piglets and Stir Coffee. The green, open spaces of Brockwell Park are also a five-minute stroll away, along with its iconic 1930’s 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 amenities and transport links in Herne Hill are a pleasant ten-minute stroll through Brockwell Park, this lovely, well-maintained home will appeal to purchasers considering moving to both of these in-demand areas.
