Property details

Keating Estates are delighted to present this breathtaking five bedroom extended home with two bathrooms and a WC, plus a beautifully landscaped garden. This Victorian end-of-terrace house is set on sought-after Margate Road, a tree-lined street between the amenities of Clapham and Brixton. The location offers the best of both neighbourhoods, within a popular residential pocket with local shops and cafes on the doorstep and Outstanding and Good schools nearby.

This exceptional home has been thoughtfully extended and fully renovated to the highest standards in 2020, including a loft and side-return extension. A new Vaillant boiler with Megaflo hot water cylinder and Nest thermostats, a full roof replacement and re-felting (2023), and double-glazed wooden sash windows ensure modern comfort. Additional features include Victorian cast-iron radiators, a Ring alarm and doorbell system, and elegant Farrow & Ball and Little Greene finishes.

The home exudes kerb appeal, set behind a charming low-walled front garden with black railings, tiled path, and an inviting front door adorned with brass fittings, including a distinctive dragonfly knocker.

Step inside to a grand hallway boasting original period cornicing, ceiling roses, and monochrome tiled flooring. A runner carpet enhances the staircase, while a guest WC—styled in rich green hues with Burlington fittings—adds a touch of sophistication. Under-stair storage provides practical convenience.

The elegant double reception room sits the front of the home, flooded with natural light through sash windows framed with shutters. Oak chevron flooring flows underfoot, and a gas fireplace provides a focal point, ideal for curling up on winter evenings in front of a cosy fire. The formal dining area, complete with a bespoke bar featuring a marble worktop and glass shelving, offers a perfect setting for entertaining.

To the rear, the showstopping Valmora Italian kitchen is designed in striking shades of blue, complemented by quartz worktops and premium Neff and AEG appliances. A boiling-water tap, underfloor heating, and oak chevron flooring enhance both comfort and practicality, while aluminium bi-fold doors open seamlessly onto the garden. Floating wooden shelves below the skylights create warmth and texture, and a breakfast bar provides an ideal space for more relaxed dining, elevating the sociable vibe of this fantastic space.

The landscaped rear garden is a tranquil oasis, designed for low maintenance and ease of enjoyment. A paved seating area with built-in benches and an astro-turf lawn are framed by raised beds with tropical planting and elegant slatted fencing which contrasts beautifully with the year-round greenery —perfect for hosting barbecues or dining al fresco in style.

Upstairs, the spacious front room spans the full width of the home with bespoke joinery, shelving, and hardwood parquet flooring. Currently used as a second reception room, it offers flexibility as an additional bedroom. Two further bedrooms on this floor include a stylish home office and guest room, plus a charming child’s room, separated by a luxurious family bathroom with Crosswater fittings, marble surfaces, and a bathtub with overhead shower.

The loft has been converted to create a serene principal suite with engineered wood flooring, three skylights, and soothing neutral tones. The en-suite features a Crittall-style shower screen and Crosswater fittings, while the adjacent fifth bedroom —currently utilised as a dressing room—enhances the sense of indulgence. Additional eaves storage provides practicality without compromising style.

Margate Road is set within a tree-lined residential pocket sought after for its character, feel and proximity to both Brixton and Clapham. The bars and restaurants of Acre Lane, which has gained huge popularity in recent years is just a five-minute stroll where purchasers will enjoy having neighbourhood favourites such as Cayena Coffee Roasters, Knife and the Hope & Anchor close by, as well as the Instagram favourite bakery - Aries Bakehouse and large supermarkets including Tesco, Lidl and Sainsbury’s.
