Merredene Street, SW2

Keating Estates are delighted to present this exceptional two double bedroom Victorian terraced house on Merredene Street, Brixton. Finished to an immaculate standard with a private courtyard garden, this charming home blends period character with modern convenience.

Extensively renovated in 2011 by the current owner, the property benefits from new plumbing and electrics, underfloor insulation on the ground level, and a replacement roof over the side return, improvements that make the house as efficient and comfortable as it is beautiful.

The welcoming hallway leads into a spacious double reception and dining room, where continuous flooring creates a seamless sense of flow. The front lounge is bathed in natural light from a traditional bay with sash window and centres around a striking feature fireplace, while the rear dining area offers a perfect space for entertaining with built-in shelving tucked into the alcoves.

At the heart of the home sits the kitchen and breakfast room, designed in a timeless palette of white gloss cabinetry and walnut-coloured worktops. Integrated appliances are thoughtfully arranged, and the sink enjoys a pleasant leafy view of the garden. A large skylight above the breakfast table floods the room with daylight, while a glazed door opens directly to the private courtyard, ideal for everyday living or sociable gatherings.

The South-West facing courtyard garden is a tranquil, low-maintenance retreat enclosed by characterful brick walls softened with climbing greenery. A paved patio provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or al fresco dining, while raised planters brim with mature shrubs and pots for added texture and colour.

Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the house, featuring twin sash windows, a decorative fireplace and soft carpet underfoot, a luxurious retreat with ample space for wardrobes and furnishings. The second bedroom, overlooking the garden, continues the period charm with its own decorative fireplace and neutral décor, making it a versatile guest room, nursery or home office if both bedrooms are not required.

The bathroom on the half landing is a standout feature, spacious and beautifully appointed with a roll-top bath on claw feet, a separate glazed shower cubicle and a decorative fireplace. A window with fitted shutters and an overhead skylight fill the space with natural light, creating an uplifting, elegant room designed for both indulgence and everyday use.

Completing this delightful period home is the loft space, ideal for storage but with the potential to extend into, adding further bedrooms and another bathroom if desired, subject to permissions, with precedent already set on the road.

The location on Merrdene Street is great, set back from Brixton Hill on a quiet street sandwiched between Brixton and Herne Hill. This neighbourly street is renowned for its friendly, long-standing community, complete with an annual summer street party and an active residents’ group.

Perfectly positioned within easy reach of the cultural and social hub of Brixton, with its array of restaurants, bars, independent cafés and the famous Brixton Market. For a slower pace, nearby Brockwell Park offers wide open green spaces, a lido and stunning views across London, ideal for weekend strolls or summer picnics. Transport links are excellent, with Brixton Underground Station (Victoria Line) providing swift access into central London, while multiple bus routes connect the area to neighbouring Clapham, Streatham and beyond. Herne Hill station is also within reach, offering direct rail connections to the City.
