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 to market a characterful four bedroom, two bathroom extended Victorian house with a private rear garden, positioned on the peaceful and sought-after Margate Road, between the vibrant amenities of Clapham and Brixton. This charming home sits within a popular residential pocket of pretty Victorian terraces, equidistant from both sought-after locations, and will appeal to purchasers considering a move to either area.
This handsome period home has been thoughtfully modernised and extended with great care taken to preserve its original charm, resulting in a beautifully balanced property suited to contemporary family living.
The ground floor opens into an impressive double-aspect reception and dining room, immediately setting the tone with its generous proportions, high ceilings, wooden flooring and an inviting wood burner, creating a warm and ambience ideal for cosy nights in front of the fire. The space has been stylishly decorated yet offers the option to re-paint in more neutral tones for those wishing to tailor the finish, allowing the period features to truly take centre stage. Double doors provide the option to divide the double reception from the kitchen or open fully for a wonderful sense of flow from front to rear.
To the rear sits the extended kitchen diner, a superb hub of the home designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Contemporary green-toned cabinetry offers excellent storage, complemented by integrated appliances, wooden worktops and striking checkered tiling. A central island enhances the sociable layout and provides ample preparation space, while underfloor heating and skylights bathe the dining area in natural light, creating an inviting setting for hosting friends and family.
Bi-fold doors lead directly from the kitchen diner into the well-maintained rear garden. Thoughtfully landscaped and paved for ease of upkeep, the garden is cleverly zoned with raised planters to create multiple seating areas, offering a tranquil retreat ideal for summer gatherings, barbecues or quiet moments of relaxation.
The first floor comprises three of the four bedrooms and the first of the two bathrooms. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the property at the front, a charming and light-filled space featuring wooden floorboards, two sash windows and fitted wardrobes. To the rear are two further bedrooms overlooking the garden, one a comfortable double with fitted storage and soft carpeting, the other a versatile room currently used as a home office. The bathroom on this floor is finished in timeless white tiling with a mosaic floor and features a walk-in rain shower.
Occupying the top floor is the fourth bedroom, a peaceful and spacious double enjoying excellent natural light from two Velux windows and offering ample room for a seating or dressing area, along with generous storage options, including a large wardrobe and eaves storage. Adjacent is the second bathroom, fitted with a bathtub and overhead shower, echoing the crisp and classic décor found in the other bathroom.
This family home is beautifully light and airy, boasting a stylish finish throughout. It’s ideal for buyers seeking a turnkey property that combines the charm of a period home with the comfort and efficiency of modern design.
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.
