Keating Estates are proud to present this characterful three-bedroom apartment with a private garden, set within an attractive semi-detached Victorian conversion on Spenser Road in the sought-after Poet’s Corner, moments from Brockwell Park in Herne Hill, with easy access to the amenities of Brixton.
The Victorian façade sets a welcoming tone, offering instant kerb appeal with its classic brickwork and decorative detailing.
Entering via the private entrance, you are greeted by a porch that leads into the expansive open-plan reception and kitchen area. The bright, inviting space combines lounge, dining, and kitchen areas, creating the perfect hub for modern living. The lounge features fitted shelving in the alcoves and chimney breast, providing both style and practical storage. A central dining space connects seamlessly to the contemporary kitchen, which offers sleek cabinetry and ample worktop space. The room balances functionality with character, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Tiled flooring in the kitchen complements the warm flooring throughout the rest of the space, which is enhanced by excellent natural light from the glazed conservatory extension and French doors leading to the garden.
Directly accessed via the conservatory, the private garden blends charm and functionality. A generous paved terrace provides the perfect space for al fresco dining or entertaining, framed by raised planters for greenery and seasonal colour. Steps lead up to an expansive lawn bordered by mature trees and planting, offering a peaceful retreat with plenty of room for children to play or guests to relax. At the far end of the garden sits a substantial timber outbuilding with large windows and power, ideal as a home office, studio, gym, or workshop. Adjacent is a sheltered seating area beneath a pergola-style roof, creating another inviting spot to enjoy the outdoors.
