Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to the market this stunning two double bedroom flat with a private south-west facing garden, occupying the ground floor of a handsome Victorian terraced house on the peaceful and sought-after Hemberton Road, perfectly located within a few minutes' walk of Clapham, Brixton, and Stockwell.

The handsome Victorian façade immediately sets a welcoming tone, offering classic kerb appeal with its brickwork and decorative detailing. Behind this attractive exterior lies a thoughtfully designed home that seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary style.

Stepping inside, the quality of finish is instantly apparent, with newly fitted herringbone flooring flowing throughout the property, adding warmth and sophistication to every room.

Set to the front, a large reception room forms the heart of the home, brimming with period charm and character. High, corniced ceilings and an ornate ceiling rose showcase the property’s Victorian heritage, while a striking original fireplace serves as a beautiful focal point. Within the alcoves, bespoke built-in shelving provides practical storage and display space, perfect for books, ornaments, or personal touches. A bay window with timber double-glazed sash windows floods the room with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and openness. Styled with café-style shutters, the window retains the original aesthetic while offering modern comfort. Painted in a deep navy blue, this inviting space feels both cosy and elegant—the ideal spot for entertaining guests or unwinding after a long day.

The separate kitchen is styled with dark blue cabinetry, offset by a crisp white herringbone tile splashback to create a striking yet timeless aesthetic. Integrated appliances include a gas hob and oven, while an integrated wine cooler adds a touch of luxury. A sash window positioned above the sink allows for excellent ventilation and natural light, making this kitchen both practical and a pleasure to cook in.

The principal bedroom is an inviting and peaceful retreat, decorated in soothing neutral tones that enhance the sense of space and tranquillity. A ceiling rose adds a touch of traditional character, while French doors lead directly out to the garden, allowing natural light to pour in and creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living. This serene room offers plenty of space for storage and furniture, making it a true sanctuary within the home.

Currently arranged as a second reception room by the current owners, the second double bedroom is equally impressive. Painted in a calming green, this room exudes a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. A dual-aspect outlook ensures it remains bright throughout the day, and like the principal bedroom, it benefits from direct access to the garden via French doors. Whether used as a guest bedroom, home office, or cosy living area, this versatile space offers flexibility to suit any lifestyle.

Descending the stairs leads to the lower ground level, where you’ll find a well-planned utility room or pantry, a highly practical addition for storage, laundry, or supplementary space.

Finished in neutral tones, the bathroom features a classic white suite with a shower over the bath, complemented by cream tiling and a vanity unit with cupboard storage. The layout makes efficient use of space, providing a comfortable and calming environment.

Directly accessed via French doors from both bedrooms, the private south-west facing garden is a standout feature of the property. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, this beautifully landscaped space blends charm and functionality in perfect harmony. Enclosed by a mix of characterful brickwork, fencing, and mature greenery, the garden enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy and calm. The paved patio offers ample room for al fresco dining and outdoor seating, while raised flower beds provide colour and texture throughout the seasons. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or hosting summer gatherings, this outdoor haven offers an idyllic retreat from city life.

This well-maintained property is offered with a share of freehold, and all the flats within the building are owner-occupied, fostering a friendly and cooperative community spirit. The current owners describe their neighbours as quiet and welcoming, creating a peaceful and neighbourly atmosphere rarely found in London living. The internal communal hallway has recently been decorated including new carpets.

Hemberton Road is a quiet and peaceful residential road located moments from the amenities on the direct route between Clapham and Brixton, Landor Road, with Stockwell also a short stroll away. The new purchaser will be spoiled for choice when it comes to transport links; The Northern and Victoria lines plus the Overground are all within walking distance. In the one direction the vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street (five minute walk) offers great nightlife, the green open spaces of Clapham Common and Abbeville Village is also within walking distance. In the other direction there is all Brixton (central Brixton a fourteen-minute walk) has to offer with the extremely popular Brixton Village, large brand shops, Brockwell Park and cracking transport links.
