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 charming one-bedroom flat with a private garden, set within an attractive Victorian conversion on the sought-after Brading Road.
The home occupies the ground floor of a handsome Victorian building, benefiting from high ceilings, large windows, and a thoughtfully arranged layout that maximises both space and natural light. This appealing home is a complete blank canvas, ready to move into straight away, yet with the potential to add your own decorative touches over time.
Forming the heart of the home, at the front of the property lies a generously sized reception room. Large bay windows with bespoke shutters flood the space with natural light while offering excellent privacy when needed. Exposed wooden floorboards run throughout, complementing the elegant high ceilings and ornate cornicing. A striking decorative fireplace forms a stunning focal point, with built-in shelving and storage cupboards on either side of the alcoves, ideal for books or display. Period charm is retained while the neutral décor allows the next owner to add their own personal stamp. This is a versatile living area, easily accommodating a comfortable lounge set-up while leaving ample room for a dining table.
Set to the rear, the separate dine-in kitchen is neutrally finished and an impressive size. Designed to be both functional and sociable, the space easily accommodates additional dining or a breakfast area. Large windows and a door leading directly onto the garden ensure the room is bathed in natural light, further enhancing its appeal. Fitted with cream cabinetry and terracotta tiles, the kitchen provides a fantastic canvas for culinary creativity, with scope for the new owner to modernise or tailor the fittings to their taste.
A patio door leads from the kitchen to the wrap-around private garden. Easily maintained, this pretty garden is perfect for enjoying the British summertime and hosting al-fresco, with a paved seating area framed by raised beds and surrounded by leafy trees.
Quietly nestled overlooking the side return of the garden, the bedroom is a comfortable double with beautifully corniced ceilings and exposed wooden floorboards, providing a soothing retreat. The bathroom overlooks the garden and is equipped with a bathtub and overhead shower, with space for storage.
In addition to the main living areas, the property benefits from a useful cellar. This provides invaluable storage space for bulky items such as bicycles, suitcases, or seasonal belongings, helping to keep the rest of the flat free of clutter.
Of further benefit, precedent has been set on the road should the new purchaser wish to expand the property in the future by seeking permission to extend into the side return and convert the property into a two-bedroom apartment.
Brading Road enjoys a lovely community feel, with an active WhatsApp group where neighbours come together to help one another. Purchasers have popular establishments on Brixton Hill within easy reach, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton, and the ever-popular White Horse Pub, as well as neighbourhood favourite the Elm Park Tavern just up the road, and incredible chocolate-almond croissants at Le Dailycorner Café at the top of the street. This location is great for anyone who wants to be close to the action yet retain a sense of calm. It is a twenty-minute stroll to the culinary and nightlife mecca of Brixton, and ten minutes to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park with its iconic 1930s Lido and unrivalled sports facilities. A fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes, and restaurants of Herne Hill.
The first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is a short walk down the hill, and multiple day and night buses run up and down Brixton Hill, taking you to the tube within a few minutes and into central London. Tulse Hill and Streatham Hill stations are also a twenty-minute walk or a swift bus ride, with trains into Clapham Junction, Victoria, and London Bridge. The buses offer a convenient alternative to the tube and train stations for commuters, with buses running frequently. With Brockwell Park, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants, and Brixton Village all nearby, there is something to cater to everyone.
