Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market a beautifully presented one double bedroom split-level Victorian conversion, occupying the top floors of a handsome period property on the sought-after and tranquil Deerbrook Road, ideally positioned in the heart of Herne Hill and moments from Brockwell Park.
This super special home has been lovingly cared for over the past nine years, with thoughtful improvements enhancing both comfort and longevity. A new roof was installed in summer 2021, followed by a stylish new bathroom in summer 2022. The property has been freshly painted within the last year, complemented by newly installed radiators to the reception and luxurious wool carpets fitted throughout only a few months ago. While the kitchen is fully functional and recently re-tiled, there remains scope for an incoming purchaser to add their own personal touch.
Set on the top floor, the apartment enjoys a bright and private aspect. The reception room is an inviting space with charming lofted ceilings and generous proportions, easily accommodating both lounging and dining. A handy nook by the entrance provides an ideal study area, while the neutral décor is enhanced by a row of contemporary pendant lights running through the centre of the room. The kitchen sits adjacent beneath a skylight. A large serving hatch opens into the reception room, creating a sociable environment while keeping the practicalities neatly separate. Neutral cabinetry offers ample storage, paired with wooden worktops and softly toned feature flooring.
The bedroom is peacefully nestled to the rear of the property, promoting a tranquil night’s sleep away from the already quiet street. Leafy views, elegant wool carpets and a fitted wardrobe complete this calm and comfortable retreat. A charming spindle staircase leads to the landing, where a large window creates a bright and airy transition space, complete with a delightful window seat perfect for reading. The bathroom is tastefully finished with large slate-grey tiles contrasted by soft neutrals, featuring a bathtub with overhead shower, Crittall-style shower screen and sleek black fittings.
Deerbrook Road is a highly desirable, leafy street within the popular Deronda Triangle, known for its strong sense of community and annual street party. Residents enjoy a peaceful setting while remaining exceptionally well connected. Brockwell Park is just a short stroll away, celebrated by locals as one of London’s finest green spaces, complete with its iconic lido. Bel Air Park and Dulwich Park are also within easy reach.
Tulse Hill station is a five-minute walk, offering swift connections to London Bridge and central London via Southern Rail and Thameslink. Herne Hill and West Dulwich are both within walking distance, providing a village feel and an array of independent shops, cafés and further rail links, including services to Victoria in approximately twenty-five minutes door to door. Brixton, with its renowned markets, vibrant nightlife and the Victoria Line, is a short bus journey away via frequent day and night services, or an enjoyable twenty-four-minute walk across Brockwell Park.
An exceptional home on a truly special street, combining period charm, modern comfort and an enviable location.
