Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this wonderful two double bedroom apartment with a private garden, occupying the ground floor of an attractive Victorian property. Set on the unique Raleigh Gardens, a desirable and leafy residential road tucked away off Brixton Hill, the property enjoys a peaceful setting as the entrance is a no-through road serving only these homes.

Positioned on the ground floor of this charming building, the apartment offers a beautifully balanced layout with generous proportions and an abundance of natural light throughout. The heart of the home is the impressive reception room, a welcoming and sociable space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. This elegant room boasts particularly high ceilings, enhancing the sense of space, and is further elevated by a characterful bay window with plantation shutters. Bespoke shelving and cabinetry flank the fireplace, creating a stylish focal point with practical storage.

To the rear, the separate dine-in kitchen is thoughtfully designed with ample worktop space and cabinetry, complemented by open shelving for a contemporary finish. There is plenty of room for a dining table, and French doors lead directly out to the private garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, perfect for entertaining during the warmer months.

The private garden is a true highlight of the property, offering a tranquil escape with a mix of patio and lawn, bordered by mature greenery for a secluded feel. Whether enjoying al fresco dining, gardening or relaxing, this outdoor space provides a rare and valuable extension of the home.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring high ceilings, a decorative fireplace and generous proportions, creating a calm and elegant retreat. The second bedroom is equally appealing, benefitting from a double aspect with a sash window to the side and French doors opening directly onto the garden, making it a bright and versatile space ideal as a guest room, home office or nursery.

The bathroom was tastefully redecorated in 2021 and is finished to a high standard, featuring stylish tiling, a modern suite with both bath and overhead shower, and a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

Additional benefits include a demised cellar, providing excellent storage options.

Raleigh Gardens is highly sought-after for its proximity to all that the area is known for, situated a ten-minute stroll to the heart of Brixton and a similar distance to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park. A pleasant fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes and restaurants of Herne Hill. Popular local establishments on Brixton Hill are within easy reach, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and The White Horse Pub. Brixton tube station (Victoria Line) is approximately a fifteen-minute walk away.

Chain-free.
