Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market a charming one double bedroom split-level apartment with a private roof terrace, set atop a handsome end-of-terrace Victorian house on Craster Road, positioned within close proximity to a local parade of shops and cafes, the vast greenery of Brockwell Park, and all that central Brixton has to offer.

Arranged over the uppermost floor, this delightful home offers a bright and private aspect with an airy open-plan reception. Spanning over eight meters in length, this inviting room boasts charming vaulted ceilings which enhance the generous sense of space. Thoughtfully designed, this fantastic heart of the home is flooded with natural light from multiple skylights and a large rear window, enhancing the warm tones of the contemporary flooring underfoot. Characterful alcoves add architectural interest and provide a cosy yet bright feel throughout.

The reception flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen, nestled below a large window, with ample storage within cabinetry which wraps around to maximise space and add to the sociable vibe. There is also plenty of space for a dining area, set below two feature pendant lights, perfectly suited to entertaining or relaxed dinners at home.

A particular highlight of this beautiful home is the private roof terrace, directly accessed from the upper landing, leading off the reception. This outdoor space is ideal for al-fresco dining, relaxing with a book, or enjoying a drink in the sunshine. Paved for ease of maintenance, with the potential to add your own pot plants and lighting features to create your own outdoor haven.

The double bedroom is peacefully positioned down a small flight of stairs, enjoying a leafy outlook at the rear of the property. This tranquil spot is fitted with mirrored wardrobes that maximise storage while amplifying the sense of space. A smart, neutral bathroom with a bathtub and overhead shower completes this lovely home.

Craster Road enjoys a quiet setting where purchasers have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the ever-popular White Horse Pub, as well as neighbourhood favourite, the Elm Park Tavern, just up the road and incredible chocolate-almond croissants served at Le Dailycorner Café just around the corner. This location is great for anyone who wants to be close to the action yet wants to retain a sense of calm with cafes and local shops. Situated a twenty-minute stroll to the culinary and nightlife mecca of Brixton, and five-minutes to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park with its iconic 1930’s Lido and unrivalled sports facilities. A fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes and restaurants of Herne Hill.

The first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is a short stroll down the hill and multiple day and night buses run up and down Brixton Hill, whisking you down to the tube within a few minutes and through into central London. Tulse Hill and Streatham Hill stations are also a twenty-minute walk, or swift ride on regular buses, with trains into Clapham Junction, Victoria and London Bridge. The buses offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations for commuters into central London, with buses coming and going every other minute. With Brockwell Park, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants and Brixton Village all nearby, there really is something to cater for everyone.

Chain-free.
