Property details

Keating Estates are delighted to present this exceptionally spacious five double bedroom, four bathroom Victorian house, wider than many homes in the area. Lovingly maintained and sensitively enhanced, this elegant home on Leander Road blends period charm with modern comfort. Recent improvements include a loft extension, newly repointed front brickwork, and a landscaped front garden, all combining to create a striking first impression. Original Victorian features such as decorative shadow cornicing and tiled flooring sit beautifully alongside high quality double glazing throughout, achieving a seamless balance of character and practicality.

Set on a highly sought-after residential street, the property is ideally positioned within easy reach of local shops and cafes, Brockwell Park, and the vibrant amenities of Brixton and Herne Hill.

Upon entry, a wide and welcoming hallway with characterful tiled flooring sets the tone for the home. This leads into a double aspect reception and dining room, flooded with natural light and enhanced by high ceilings, elegant cornicing, and a wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy winter evenings. The dining area, arranged around a handsome feature fireplace, offers generous space for entertaining and opens directly onto the garden via French doors.

The kitchen diner at the rear of the house forms a warm and sociable family hub. A bay window provides an inviting dining area beside a further feature fireplace, while wraparound cabinetry delivers excellent storage and a practical, well considered layout. Direct access leads out to the private rear garden, a secluded and beautifully maintained space with a raised deck ideal for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. The characterful rear wall and mature palm planting combine to create a calm and private retreat.

Across the upper floors are five well proportioned double bedrooms, three of which benefit from en suite bathrooms. Large double glazed sash windows ensure all rooms feel bright and airy. The principal suite occupies the top floor and enjoys a peaceful setting, complete with a Juliet balcony, fitted wardrobes, and space to relax. The en suite is finished to a high specification, featuring a walk-in rain shower, an extra large insulated bathtub set beneath a skylight, and contemporary tiling. Two further bedrooms also enjoy en suite facilities, while the family bathroom serves the remaining rooms and includes a bath with overhead shower and striking blue tiling.

Further benefits include a useful cellar for storage, excellent soundproofing throughout the house, including particularly thick internal doors that provide a high level of privacy, ideal for larger families or multiple occupants. The loft extension benefits from a reinforced roof structure and an opening skylight, allowing safe and practical roof access for sunbathing or barbecuing. High quality double glazing throughout ensures comfort and efficiency year-round. This outstanding Victorian home offers generous proportions, refined period detail, and thoughtful modern upgrades, making it an ideal choice for families and professionals alike.

Leander Road is a leafy, community-focused street, locally renowned for its annual summer street party. Nearby amenities include a large supermarket and a range of popular cafes, pubs, and restaurants such as Naughty Piglets, Stir Coffee, and the Elm Park Tavern. Brixton is a short walk away, offering the culinary and cultural attractions of Brixton Village and excellent transport links via the Victoria line. Brockwell Park, with its iconic 1930s Lido and extensive sports facilities, is moments away, while the amenities and transport connections of Herne Hill can be reached with a pleasant ten-minute walk through the park. This versatile and beautifully presented property will appeal to buyers considering both areas.
