Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market an exceptional four double bedroom, two bathroom Victorian house with a beautifully landscaped South-West facing garden, set on the highly sought-after Leander Road, a quiet residential street nestled between Brixton and Herne Hill, a short stroll to Brockwell Park.
This exquisite home has been meticulously renovated throughout to an impeccable standard, blending elegant modern design with a wealth of preserved original features, right down to the original internal doors. The property immediately impresses with outstanding kerb appeal; the restored exterior brickwork sets the tone for what awaits inside, whilst new wooden external doors and windows elevate the appeal. A classic tiled path leads to the entrance, where you’re welcomed by intricate cornicing and a lovingly retained Victorian mosaic-tiled floor.
The double reception room is a showpiece of character and refinement, flooded with natural light from the front bay sash window and rear French doors to the garden. The layout flows seamlessly, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Original shadow cornicing distinctive to this pocket of residential streets, graces the ceiling, while the restored fireplace and bespoke joinery lend a cosy yet grand atmosphere. Original floorboards flow underfoot, tying together the elegance of both reception spaces.
To the rear sits a charming country-style kitchen diner, a warm and inviting hub of the home. Cabinetry in a stylish shade which nods to deVOL’s Trinity Blue is adorned with brass hardware, beautifully complemented by crisp white worktops, butler sink and a generous range cooker. A bay window frames the dining area perfectly, accentuated by pendant lighting that offers an intimate mood come evening. At the far end, there’s space for a relaxed lounge, basking in sunlight through bifold doors that open directly onto the private garden – creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The South-West facing garden is a tranquil haven, thoughtfully landscaped to provide a serene escape from urban life. With lush palms, banana plants, flowering borders, and established trees offering dappled shade and privacy, the space feels almost Mediterranean. A raised brick bed and gravel path add charm and structure, while the patio area, paved in reclaimed York stone, offers ample space for al fresco dining in the sun.
Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms span the two upper floors. The principal bedroom occupies the full width of the house, with plush carpets underfoot, two large sash windows, and bespoke mirrored wardrobes. A period fireplace and high ceilings enhance the sense of grandeur. All three further double bedrooms enjoy peaceful garden views and are equally as tastefully presented as the rest of this wonderful home, each with cosy carpets these versatile rooms are all spacious doubles yet with the potential to repurpose to suit needs such as a home office and gym, or nursery as exemplified by the current owners.
Attention to detail runs throughout the home and the bathrooms are no exception. One boasts a luxurious double-ended bathtub with overhead shower, finished with marble tiling, subtle feature floor, a roll-top basin and ambient lighting flanking the mirror. The upper floor bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a striking walk-in rain shower with rich, dark tiling and sleek contemporary fittings. A cellar provides convenient storage, and with neighbouring homes having successfully extended into the loft, there is clear precedent for future development, should the purchaser wish to seek the necessary permissions to grow into the home and add further value.
Leander Road is a leafy residential street with a true sense of community, a neighbourly road locally famous for hosting their annual summer street party. This sought-after road enjoys a prime position between the vibrant offerings of Brixton and the village charm of Herne Hill, nestled just off Josephine Avenue. Moments away is a large supermarket and various cafes, pubs and restaurants, such as Naughty Piglets, Stir Coffee and the Elm Park Tavern.
A short walk brings you to the centre of Brixton, offering the culinary delights of Brixton Village and a wide array of cultural entertainment choices whilst also being the first stop on the Victoria line. The green, open spaces of Brockwell Park are also a stone’s throw away, along with its iconic 1930’s Lido and fantastic sports facilities. The amenities and transport links in Herne Hill are a pleasant ten-minute stroll through Brockwell Park, this immaculate home will appeal to purchasers considering moving to both areas.
A rare find, offering generous proportions, stunning period features, and a tranquil garden oasis in a desirable and neighbourly location.
