Canterbury Crescent, SW9

Keating Estates are delighted to present this superb two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with a private terrace, securely nestled on the first floor of an elegant Victorian mansion block, ideally located moments from the vibrant heart of Brixton. This charming home effortlessly blends period character with contemporary comfort, offering an inviting sanctuary flooded with natural light and benefitting from its own outdoor space.

Boasting generous proportions, this elegantly finished apartment is bathed in natural light, offering a sense of privacy and leafy views across the surrounding rooftops.

Rich in period charm, the semi-open plan reception and kitchen are thoughtfully divided by a central chimney breast, creating defined yet sociable spaces ideal for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. The reception room is a standout, featuring a striking bay framed with traditional sash windows that flood the space with daylight and provide a perfect ledge for a cozy window seating nook. Its generous proportions comfortably accommodate both lounging and dining areas, making it versatile for modern living.

The kitchen complements the space with cream cabinetry, contrasting dark worktops, and a tiled splashback for a classic, timeless finish. Equipped with an oven and gas hob, it ensures practicality for home cooking, while a sash window provides excellent ventilation. The property has beautiful reclaimed oak flooring in the reception, kitchen and hallways.

Tucked away at the rear of the property, both bedrooms are neutrally decorated, fitted with soft carpet, and include built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom is a serene retreat, featuring French doors that open directly onto the private terrace, a rare slice of calm in the heart of vibrant London. This decked outdoor space is perfect for al fresco dining, a peaceful morning coffee, or nurturing a collection of potted plants, extending the living space and enhancing the home’s overall appeal. The bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room, complete with a shower cubicle and a sash window for natural ventilation.

The second bedroom is positioned on the opposite side of the apartment for privacy and flexibility. Perfect for sharers or those seeking solitude, it sits adjacent to the main bathroom, fitted with a classic white suite including a bath with an overhead shower.

A key advantage of this apartment is the abundance of natural light throughout, thanks to the numerous sash windows and favourable first-floor positioning. The flat benefits from excellent soundproofing, ensuring minimal noise from neighbouring flats. Additionally, a new boiler installed in 2024 provides added peace of mind.
