Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to the market a wonderful two bedroom, split-level Victorian conversion flat, located on a quiet and peaceful street between the amenities of Clapham and Brixton. Margate Road is a popular residential street nestled within a pocket of Victorian terraces, equidistant to both sought-after locations. This property will appeal to buyers considering a move to either area.
As you enter the flat from the ground floor, a private internal staircase leads you up to the first floor, where the sense of space becomes immediately apparent. The split-level design ensures a sense of privacy and separation between the principal bedroom and social spaces below, which is particularly appealing for families or those working from home or sharing with others.
Forming the heart of the home, a bright and airy reception room is located at the front of the property, with sash windows flooding the room with natural light and enhancing the sense of openness. Contributing to the sense of character this reception room benefits from a feature fireplace, high ceilings, and wooden flooring. The separate kitchen sits to the rear of the property, fitted with sleek wooden cabinetry finished in neutral tones. A lovely place to cook, enhanced further by the large sash window with leafy views.
The bedroom on this first floor benefits from a peaceful outlook and good levels of natural light. A decorative fireplace is the focal point of the room, with built in storage too. This is a versatile space which can be repurposed to a guest room, home office or nursery if both bedrooms are not required. A smart, neutral tiled family bathroom features a walk-in shower, wash basin with vanity storage, and WC. The space is well ventilated and attractively finished with modern fixtures and fittings including a towel rail.
Upstairs, the second floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom, offering excellent separation from the main living spaces, ideal for a peaceful night’s sleep. This expansive space spanning the entire top floor, is bright and airy whilst boasting the proportions for the traditional bedroom furnishings as well as a desk or dressing table if desired. Highlights include an exposed brick feature wall and dressing area with built-in wardrobes. This wonderful bedroom also boasts storage within the eaves, ideal for hiding away those lesser-used items.
Margate Road, a peaceful road which is highly sought after for its character, feel and proximity to both Brixton and Clapham. The bars and restaurants of Acre Lane are a short walk and within an eleven-minute stroll down the road is everything that Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the extremely popular Brixton Village to large brand shops and cracking transport links. The vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street is an eleven-minute walk in the other direction, offering great nightlife and culinary delights. 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). With the wonderful green spaces of Brockwell Park and Clapham Common within easy reach, plus the pretty eateries of Abbeville Village, the location cannot be overstated. There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the style, condition and outside space and the proximity to all of the action the area has to offer.
