Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present this charming three-bedroom maisonette with a private garden, occupying an enviable end-of-terrace position on a popular residential street nestled between Brixton and Clapham.
Set within an attractive period building with red brick detailing and a characterful gabled frontage, this appealing home offers well-balanced accommodation arranged over multiple levels. Enjoying the benefit of its own private front door, the property immediately feels independent and house-like. A private internal staircase leads up to the first floor, where generous proportions, excellent natural light and a wonderful sense of privacy combine to create a home that feels both spacious and welcoming.
The heart of the property is a bright and airy reception room set to the rear, beautifully illuminated by double-aspect large sash windows that flood the space with sunlight and offer pleasant rooftop views. The room comfortably accommodates both a generous seating area and a full dining table, making it ideal for entertaining or relaxed evenings at home. A door and staircase lead directly down to the private garden, enhancing the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.
To the rear, the private garden provides a rare and valuable outdoor retreat. Paved for low maintenance, it offers ample space for al fresco dining, potted plants and summer gatherings, with mature greenery adding privacy and tranquillity. The end-of-terrace position further enhances the feeling of openness, allowing additional light to pour into both the garden and the interior spaces.
The separate kitchen is modern and well-appointed, fitted with sleek dark cabinetry complemented by contrasting worktops and stylish subway tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances, generous storage and ample preparation space ensure this is both a practical and attractive setting for everyday cooking.
The property offers three bedrooms arranged on the first floor, providing flexibility for families, professional sharers or those seeking work-from-home space. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, featuring a large bay window that fills the room with natural light and provides a pleasant outlook, with plenty of room for wardrobes and additional furnishings. A second well-proportioned double bedroom sits nearby, while the third bedroom is a comfortable single, perfectly suited as a child’s bedroom, nursery or dedicated home office.
Occupying the top floor, a generous loft-style reception room with a skylight offers a bright and flexible additional living space, ideal as a second lounge, studio, guest space or creative workspace. Positioned away from the main living areas, this level provides excellent separation and privacy, making it a versatile addition to the home.
A contemporary family bathroom completes the internal accommodation, finished in neutral tiling and fitted with a full-sized bath and overhead shower, modern sanitaryware and a heated towel rail.
