Brixton is a melting pot of culture, cuisine and creativity. An explosion of inventive, new restaurants, pop-ups, fashion stores and art galleries sit alongside the many great pubs, music venues and nightclubs that have been around for years. Transport links are excellent, with London Underground (Victoria Line) trains reaching central London in 12 minutes. If you’re craving green space, Brockwell Park and its famed Art Deco lido are close by. Brixton brings together all the best things about London and is one of the most vibrant and diverse places to live south of the river.

Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present this exceptional one-bedroom garden flat, set within a beautiful double-fronted Victorian conversion, positioned on the desirable Leander Road, a quiet residential street in the heart of Brixton.
This stylish home has undergone a complete transformation, meticulously renovated to a high standard, with every detail thoughtfully considered by the current owners. The flat combines contemporary design with practical comfort, offering an enviable open-plan living space, a large private garden, and high-quality finishes throughout. This is a turnkey property, ready to be enjoyed from day one.
Arranged to maximise space and comfort, the sense of style and openness becomes immediately apparent as you enter the home.
Towards the rear of the property, the striking open-plan reception and kitchen form the heart of the home, an ideal setting for entertaining and everyday living. Full-width glass sliding doors open seamlessly onto the landscaped garden, blurring the lines between indoors and out, while a large skylight bathes the space in natural light throughout the day. The result is a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for both entertaining and relaxing.
The brand-new kitchen is a statement in modern style and functionality. Featuring sleek matt black cabinetry, generous worktop space, and premium AEG appliances, it’s designed to cater to all culinary needs. Additionally, there is a fantastic breakfast bar, a perfect spot to enjoy the garden view. The layout allows for easy movement and conversation, whether preparing dinner for friends or enjoying a quiet weekend brunch. Real wood flooring flows through the open-plan area, adding warmth and character, and complementing the contemporary finish. Underfloor heating ensures a comfortable environment year-round, controlled by a Google Nest system linked to the recently installed boiler.
The private garden is a true extension of the living space. Thoughtfully landscaped with real sandstone slabs and a well-maintained flower bed, it’s an oasis of calm with a genuinely private feel. Stunning fencing and large trees enclose the garden, while side access adds practicality, ideal for hosting or those with bikes. Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue, enjoying morning coffee, or tending to plants, this garden offers a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city.
The bedroom is positioned at the front of the flat, away from the main living area for added privacy. A large bay window, fitted with plantation shutters, allows natural light to flood the room. Brimming with period character, the space features beautiful ornate cornicing and a picture rail. Recently painted and fitted with new skirting boards, it also benefits from a luxurious real wool carpet underfoot. The neutral tones and clean finish create a calming atmosphere, ideal for unwinding at the end of the day.
The bathroom is a contemporary showpiece, designed as a wet room for maximum style and functionality. Finished with high-quality fixtures and fittings, it features a floating toilet, wall-mounted taps, and a large electric mirror with a built-in defogging function. Underfloor heating adds an extra touch of luxury, making early mornings far more pleasant. The design blends practicality with sleek aesthetics, resulting in a space that feels both indulgent and efficient.
Additional spaces add flexibility to the layout, including a study area that’s perfect for home working. A utility room keeps laundry appliances and household items neatly tucked away, preserving the uncluttered feel of the living areas.
An additional benefit of this apartment is the cellar, accessed from the utility room. Currently used for storage, it ensures that the main living spaces remain uncluttered and maximised for daily enjoyment.
For further peace of mind, all electrics have been updated to current regulations.
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.
