Property details

Keating Estates are delighted to present to market this appealing two double bedroom, two bathroom apartment, securely positioned on the second floor of a handsome Victorian mansion block, ideally situated just moments from the bustling centre of Brixton.

This beautifully arranged home offers generous proportions and an abundance of natural light throughout, creating an inviting and airy atmosphere. Set back from the road with an elevated outlook, the apartment offers a sense of privacy, whilst remaining a stone’s throw from all the vibrancy Brixton has to offer.

Steeped in character, the semi-open plan reception room offers a perfect balance of charm and practicality. A welcoming space for relaxing and entertaining, this room features a large bay window, cosy carpets underfoot and elegant double doors opening into the spacious hallway, enhancing the flow and natural light throughout. A decorative double chimney breast adds a focal point to the room, further defining it into distinct yet harmonious living and dining areas.

To the rear of the reception, the stylish kitchen is finished to a high standard with modern engineered wood flooring and sleek gloss cabinetry, thoughtfully wrapping around to maximise both storage and surface space. Wooden worktops add warmth and texture, beautifully complemented by a vibrant turquoise glass splashback for a contemporary touch. To the opposing side of the kitchen, beneath a large sash window, there is ample space to accommodate a dining table, making this an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

Both double bedrooms are positioned to the rear of the property, cushioned from the bustle of city life. Each room is neutrally decorated and fitted with plush carpets and built-in wardrobes, providing excellent storage solutions. The principal bedroom is further enhanced by a chic en-suite shower room, whilst the second bedroom is conveniently served by a modern family bathroom. With the bedrooms located on opposite sides of the apartment, the layout lends itself perfectly to sharers or those seeking a degree of separation and privacy.

Further benefits include two hallway cupboards for additional storage and access to a rear residents’ yard with secure bike storage —a valuable feature for urban living. The entire building was meticulously renovated 18 years ago with a focus on quality craftsmanship, including the installation of double glazing and sound insulation throughout—blending period charm with modern comfort.

This attractive apartment combines character, space and a prime location, just a short stroll from the buzz of Brixton’s restaurants, bars, and transport links.

Situated in the heart of Brixton, there really is something on offer for everyone, from a private members club to life’s simplest conveniences. Canterbury Crescent is a two-minute walk to Brixton’s popular hangouts; Pop Brixton, Market Row and Brixton Village where there are endless options of dining, bistro and street food. Purchasers will benefit from the wide variety of shops, nightlife, and vibrant Brixton culture, with the option of Clapham within walking distance if you ever fancy a change of scenery.

The transport links are second to none, with only a four-minute walk to Brixton underground station, the first stop of the Victoria Line with a short commute to the city, as well as four-minutes to the Overground and a 30-second walk from multiple bus stops taking you all across London.

The location is ideal with the green, open spaces of Wyck Gardens within a ten-minute walk, with 31 acres of beautiful park which hosts; horse stables and riding club, kids play area, urban cricket pitch, football pitches and a community garden. In the other direction, you are a stroll away from the award-winning Brockwell Park, one of South London’s most popular parks. Brixton Recreation Centre is also just a minute’s walk away with a gym, squash courts and indoor bowling to name a few.
