Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this charming five double bedroom Victorian house with a beautifully landscaped wrap-around garden, peacefully positioned on Rattray Road, a sought-after residential street forming part of the Low Traffic Neighbourhood. Lovingly extended and maintained over a long period of ownership, the home is ideally situated close to Brixton Tube, the Overground stations of both Brixton and Herne Hill, and the green open spaces of Brockwell Park.

Upon entering, the ground floor is introduced by a welcoming hallway with original cornicing, leading into a characterful double reception room. Set behind an attractive sash bay window, this inviting space retains a wealth of period features, including original floorboards, ornate ceiling mouldings, and two fully functional cast iron fireplaces—perfect for creating cosy winter evenings. A particularly charming touch is the traditional coal chute which feeds down to a coal store in the cellar below, a nod to the home's heritage. A versatile layout allows for distinct sitting and dining areas or an open-plan living experience.

To the rear, the generous kitchen is brimming with charm and practicality in equal measure. It offers ample storage and preparation space, with stylish blue cabinetry, open shelving, and a range cooker. There is space for a family dining table and chairs, making it a perfect hub for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

The private garden is an absolute delight – a verdant, low-maintenance oasis that wraps around the rear and side of the house. Designed for both beauty and function, it features a mature Acer tree that bursts into vivid colour, raised brick beds overflowing with planting, and a built-in BBQ, perfect for summer entertaining. Secluded and tranquil, it provides the ideal setting for al fresco dining or peaceful moments with a book. There’s also scope to further extend the home into the side return, subject to the necessary permissions.

Upstairs, all five bedrooms are comfortable doubles. The principal suite is peacefully set atop the house, benefitting from an abundance of natural light via skylights and a Juliet balcony overlooking the leafy garden. A stylish monochrome-tiled en-suite bathroom complements the suite, complete with bathtub, overhead shower and additional skylight.

The second largest bedroom spans the width of the first floor, showcasing a wall of fitted wardrobes and shelving, as well as two striking arched sash windows which enhance the light and elegance of the room. The remaining three bedrooms are positioned to the rear of the property, each enjoying garden views and well-proportioned dimensions—ideal for children, guests, or working from home. A modern family bathroom and a separate third WC serve these rooms.

Storage is exceptionally well catered for, with a practical cellar, a tool room and adjacent cupboard beside the kitchen, a back loft, attic room eaves, attic landing, built-in cupboards in both the front and middle bedrooms, and a lean-to garden shed.

Rattray Road is a quiet, tree-lined residential street forming part of a Low Traffic Neighbourhood, contributing to its peaceful, community-minded feel. The location is ideal for transport and local amenities—just a ten-minute walk to Brixton Underground (Victoria Line), with Brixton and Herne Hill Overground stations also nearby, ensuring swift access across London. The popular Brockwell Park, with its lido, gym, and rolling lawns, is a short stroll away, offering a welcome retreat from urban life. Central Brixton’s vibrant mix of cultural venues, independent boutiques, and eateries—including Brixton Village and POP Brixton—are within easy reach, whilst Herne Hill provides further charming cafes, delis, and weekend markets.

A handsome and generous family home with scope for further potential, in one of South London’s most desirable locations.
