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 an exciting opportunity to purchase this charming four double bedroom Victorian terraced house with a private East-facing garden, packed with period features yet presenting a blank canvas. This appealing home is set on the ever-popular Solon Road, ideally positioned between Clapham and Brixton, with a vast array of amenities in every direction.
The house is light and airy throughout, showcasing an array of period features balanced by a calm, neutral palette, providing an excellent blank canvas for the next owner, benefitting from the features without having to pay a premium for the tastes of another. With 1,450 square feet of internal space, the layout offers impressive versatility, further enhanced by substantial loft space and a cellar providing excellent storage. Precedent has also been set on the street to extend into the side return and/or loft, subject to the necessary permissions, allowing the property to evolve with changing needs.
Recent improvements include new wiring, a new boiler, new windows to two bedrooms, new carpeting to selected rooms, refreshed décor throughout, updated garden fencing and paving, alongside fire doors for HMO compliance.
This handsome home immediately impresses with a welcoming double reception room, rich in period charm. Original wooden flooring runs underfoot, complemented by high ceilings and ornate cornicing to the rear dining area. Feature fireplaces add character to both reception spaces, with bespoke shelving enhancing practicality. The front lounge enjoys a large bay window and a working fireplace, creating a cosy yet elegant setting, while French doors from the dining area open directly onto the garden, allowing light and fresh air to flow through the space—perfect for family living and entertaining.
To the rear sits a modern kitchen diner, thoughtfully arranged in a sociable wrap-around layout. Shaker-style cabinetry provides generous storage, topped with warm wooden worktops, while a peninsula offers additional preparation space and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining. A bay window creates a natural nook for a second dining area, complemented by attractive slate tiled flooring, neutral tones and direct access out to the garden.
The East-facing rear garden is a sunny spot, low-maintenance yet offering scope to landscape further if desired. A paved patio leads to a raised deck at the rear, creating distinct zones ideal for summer dining, relaxing in the sun or hosting barbecues.
Across the first and second floors are four well-proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the property, flooded with natural light from multiple sash windows and retaining original wooden flooring and a feature fireplace, with alcoves either side well suited to fitted wardrobes. Two further generous doubles are positioned to the rear of the first floor, both enjoying pleasant garden views, served by a modern bathroom with a walk-in rain shower and neutral finish. The top floor hosts the fourth double bedroom at the rear, another spacious retreat, located next to the second bathroom featuring a bathtub with overhead shower.
Solon Road is a well-positioned, tree-lined street between Brixton and Clapham, offering the best of both vibrant areas, with the restaurants, supermarkets and bars of Acre Lane on the doorstep, including neighbourhood favourites such as Knife steakhouse and the Insta-famous Aries bakery, as well as large-brand supermarkets. Within a ten-minute stroll is everything that Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the extremely popular Brixton Village to large brand shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria tube line. Vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street is a similar distance in the other direction, offering great nightlife with the cafes and boutique shops within Abbeville Village, Venn Street and Clapham Old Town all close by. Potential purchasers will benefit from both the Northern Line (Clapham North, Clapham Common and Clapham South tube stations) and the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station). This property has the advantage of two wonderful green open spaces within walking distance; Clapham Common and Brockwell Park with its iconic 1930s Lido.
In summary, a beautiful Victorian home offering space, character and flexibility in a sought-after residential location—close to the action yet far enough away to retain a true sense of calm.
