Property details

Keating Estates are delighted to present to market a charming one bedroom apartment with a private South-facing garden, set within a handsome double-fronted, end-of-terrace Victorian property on the ever-popular Lambert Road. Brimming with period character, generous proportions and contemporary touches, this appealing home offers both comfort and style, with the benefit of outdoor space and excellent storage.

This fantastic apartment makes a striking first impression with the kerb appeal of its grand Victorian façade, complete with blue front door framed by a stone archway. Set to the front of the home, the inviting reception room exudes period charm, with a large bay window adorned with plantation shutters, high ceilings with ornate cornicing, and original wooden floorboards underfoot. A wonderfully bright and airy space, this elegant room offers ample room for both a comfortable lounge and a dining table, making it an ideal setting for entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day.

A couple of steps lead down to the separate kitchen, smartly finished with gloss white cabinetry wrapping around to maximise storage. Black worktops with under-lighting complement the sleek design and echo the neutral tones of the grey tiled floor. A sink beneath the window enjoys leafy views over the side passage, creating a pleasant and practical place to cook.

Peacefully tucked away to the rear, the spacious bedroom is a tranquil retreat. Generous fitted wardrobes enhance the practicality, with plenty of room remaining for a desk or dressing table if desired. Dual-aspect windows and French doors provide an abundance of natural light, opening directly onto the garden.

This property’s South-facing garden is a true highlight, a sunny haven offering private outdoor space with secure side access, ideal for bikes or hosting guests for BBQs. An initial patio leads up to a raised lawn, bordered by planting beds, before culminating in a decked seating area to the very rear, perfect for alfresco dining or entertaining friends.

Back inside, the bathroom is sleek and contemporary, styled in luxuriously large grey tiles to create a spa-like atmosphere. A bathtub with overhead rain shower provides the perfect spot to indulge in a relaxing soak after a day at nearby Brockwell Park. Additional benefits include a spacious hallway and access to a large cellar, providing ample storage and ensuring this home remains clutter-free.

If all this weren't enough, there is also the potential to extend subject to necessary permissions, growing into the property in the future and adding further value. Planning permission has previously been approved to extend the property, turning the home into a two bedroom apartment, proposed plans available upon request.
