Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present this spacious and characterful three bedroom flat, arranged over the first and second floors, set within a charming Victorian property on a quiet, tree-lined residential street. With the rolling greenery of the award-winning Brockwell Park a five-minute walk away, local pubs, cafés and shops on the doorstep, plus the enormous variety of nightlife and restaurants on offer ten minutes away in Brixton, the location cannot be overstated.

As you enter the flat from the ground floor, a private internal staircase leads you up to the first floor, where the sense of space becomes immediately apparent. The split-level design ensures a sense of privacy and separation between the bedrooms on the top floor and social spaces below, which is particularly appealing for families, those working from home, or sharers.

Forming the heart of the home, a bright and airy reception room is located at the front of the property, with sash windows flooding the room with natural light and enhancing the sense of openness. Contributing to the sense of character, this reception room features a decorative fireplace framed by built-in cabinetry and shelving in the alcoves. With ornate cornicing, the generous ceiling height adds to the room’s sense of grandeur, while the neutral décor creates a calm and inviting atmosphere. Striking the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, this reception room is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

The large dine-in kitchen sits to the rear of the property, fitted with shaker-style cabinetry and integrated appliances, wrapping around to maximise storage and worktop space. With the proportions on offer for a dining table, this is a lovely place to cook, enhanced further by the large sash windows with leafy views.

The bedroom on this first floor benefits from a peaceful outlook and good levels of natural light. A decorative fireplace is the focal point of the room, with built-in storage and cosy carpets, plus space for a desk or dressing table if desired. Adjacent, a neutrally tiled, well-ventilated family bathroom features a full-length bath with overhead shower.

Upstairs, the second floor is dedicated to two further bedrooms, offering excellent separation from the main living spaces—ideal for a peaceful night’s sleep. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, set at the rear with a tranquil atmosphere enhanced by a combination of Velux and sash windows. The serenely neutral décor makes it feel worlds away from the buzz of Brixton, making it the perfect spot in which to reside after a busy day. It boasts the proportions for traditional bedroom furnishings as well as a desk or dressing table if desired. Highlights include a feature fireplace and built-in wardrobes. The third bedroom is a versatile space which can be repurposed as a guest room, home office, or nursery if all three bedrooms are not required.

This lovely home further benefits from an abundance of storage space, including within the undemised loft which is ideal for hiding away those lesser-used items and accessed from the third bedroom.

The property is located in a quiet and leafy part of vibrant and thriving Brixton, on tree-lined Helix Road. Situated a ten-to-twelve-minute stroll from all that central Brixton has to offer, purchasers also have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton, and The White Horse pub. This exquisite flat is ideal for anyone who wants to be close to the action while maintaining a sense of calm. The new owner will have the best of both worlds, with everything on offer in the hustle and bustle of central Brixton, yet able to retire to the quieter, village-like community that has been developed around Brixton Hill.

First stop on the Victoria Line, Brixton tube station is a stroll down the hill, whisking you into central London and the City within a few minutes. The buses also offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations, with regular day and night buses on Brixton Hill. The location is ideal, with the green, open spaces of Brockwell Park within a five-minute walk.

A pleasant fifteen-minute saunter across the park brings you to Herne Hill station, with access to the Thameslink into the city and the many pubs, cafés, restaurants, and Sunday market of leafy Herne Hill. The village feel continues with easy access to Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, and trendy Peckham—catering to the wants and needs of the majority of potential purchasers. In the other direction, the popular establishments of Acre Lane are a fifteen-minute walk, leading on into vibrant Clapham.
