Brixton is a melting pot of culture, cuisine and creativity. An explosion of inventive, new restaurants, pop-ups, fashion stores and art galleries sit alongside the many great pubs, music venues and nightclubs that have been around for years. Transport links are excellent, with London Underground (Victoria Line) trains reaching central London in 12 minutes. If you’re craving green space, Brockwell Park and its famed Art Deco lido are close by. Brixton brings together all the best things about London and is one of the most vibrant and diverse places to live south of the river.

Property details
Keating Estates are delighted to present to market this unique and beautifully presented two double bedroom freehold coach house with a private entrance and charming suntrap garden, discreetly nestled at the end of an attractive Victorian terrace with a vast array of amenities on the doorstep.
Originally serving as a Victorian coach house for horses, this enchanting home offers a rare blend of character and contemporary comfort, thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners to create a stylish and welcoming haven.
Entering via its own front door, you are welcomed into an inviting reception room where bespoke fitted storage, a delightful window seat, and warm wooden floorboards sweep through the space, guiding the eye toward the heart of the home. This versatile room exudes a calm elegance, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A charming arched opening leads seamlessly into the beautifully appointed kitchen to the rear. Installed just three years ago, the bespoke shaker-style kitchen is finished in a soft pastel green with brass hardware, crisp white worktops, and matching tiling. Set beneath characterful lofty ceilings and benefitting from a skylight, the space is bathed in natural light, offering a serene spot for casual dining or culinary creativity.
From the kitchen, French doors open onto a delightful South-East facing courtyard garden, thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. Paved and bordered by green fencing and a characterful white-painted brick wall, the space features a bespoke banquette-style seating area—perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises two tastefully decorated double bedrooms, both enjoying cosy carpets and tranquil ambiance. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a charming nursery and home office, featuring bespoke shelving neatly tucked into an elegant arched alcove.
There is also potential to extend above the kitchen or create a roof terrace with impressive city skyline views, including the Shard, subject to the necessary permissions. Further benefits include a fully replaced flat roof (with warranty) completed just 12 months ago, understairs storage, and the warmth of a friendly, community-spirited street. A neutral and thoughtfully designed bathroom competes this unique home, with a bathtub and overhead shower.
This rare and characterful coach house presents a truly special opportunity to acquire a freehold home with charm, style, and future potential, all set within a desirable and well-connected neighbourhood.
The restaurants, supermarkets and bars of Acre Lane are moments from your doorstep, with neighbourhood favourites such as the Insta-famous Aries Bakehouse, Knife and the Blues Kitchen. Within a seven-minute stroll is everything that central Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the extremely popular Brixton Village to large brand shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria tube line. Vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street is a ten-minute walk in the other direction, offering great nightlife with the cafes and boutique shops within Abbeville Village, Venn Street and Clapham Old Town all close by. Potential purchasers will benefit from both the Northern Line (Clapham North, Clapham Common and Clapham South tube stations) and the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station). This property has the advantage of two wonderful green open spaces within walking distance; Clapham Common and Brockwell Park with its iconic 1930s Lido.
