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 this unique and rarely available three bedroom Victorian half-house, located in a highly sought-after residential pocket equidistant between central Brixton and Clapham High Street.
Offering almost 900 square feet of well-appointed internal space, the property has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise both functionality and character. On entering, you are welcomed into a charming separate reception room, complete with original floorboards, a feature fireplace and striking décor, creating a cosy yet stylish setting. To the rear, a generous dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining, also benefitting from original wooden flooring and built-in storage. The adjoining kitchen is neatly configured with modern cabinetry and direct access to the garden. Subject to the necessary permissions, there is the potential to extend the kitchen, with precedent already set along the street.
The private garden is a tranquil, low-maintenance outdoor space, laid with paving and offering comfortable dimensions for al fresco dining, alongside a useful storage shed.
All three bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the home and is flooded with natural light through a square bay window, and offering ample space for storage. The top floor has been converted to create a further spacious bedroom with space for a comfortable study or dressing area if desired. Skylights, eaves storage and a peaceful, tucked-away feel further enhance this upper room. The third bedroom boasts a feature fireplace and currently houses a bed, but is easily repurposed to suit needs such as a home office or single bedroom, with the thoughtful touch of a sliding door to maximise the space on offer. A contemporary family bathroom featuring both a bathtub and overhead shower completes this charming home.
This handsome Victorian half-house is nestled within a popular pocket of SW2, sandwiched between Brixton and Clapham. The cafes, bars and restaurants of Acre Lane are at the end of the road, with local heroes such as Cayena Coffee Roasters and Insta-famous Aries Bakehouse on the doorstep, along with large-brand supermarkets. Within a further few minutes’ walk down the road, purchasers will find themselves in the heart of Brixton, with Brixton Village, POP Brixton, The Ritzy cinema and the legendary music venues, Brixton Academy and Brixton Electric, all at their fingertips, as well as The Upstairs private members club. In the other direction, is vibrant and bustling Clapham High Street offering cracking nightlife, culinary delights and the green open spaces of Clapham Common. A short ten-minute stroll brings you to Abbeville Village with an abundance of local shops including The Ginger Pig butchers, MacFarlane’s Deli and the charming pub, The Abbeville. Potential purchasers will benefit from the Northern Line (Clapham North and Clapham Common tube stations) and the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station).
