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 a charming four double bedroom Victorian house with a South-East facing garden on Combermere Road, in the heart of vibrant Brixton, within easy walking distance to both Clapham and Stockwell.
Lovingly cared for by the current owner, the home has been updated throughout in recent years. The kitchen, appliances and boiler are all relatively new, alongside updated flooring and carpets. Key structural works have also been completed, including replacement of the butterfly roof and the flat roof above one of the first-floor bedrooms, resulting in a well-maintained, turnkey home.
Set behind an attractive Victorian façade, the property opens into a welcoming entrance hallway. To the front, a bright and characterful reception room is enhanced by a large bay window, allowing natural light to pour in and creating a warm, inviting space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
To the rear, the layout opens into an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area, forming the heart of the home. The contemporary kitchen features sleek navy cabinetry, stylish worktops and integrated appliances, centred around a sociable breakfast island. Pendant lighting and clean lines create a modern yet homely atmosphere, while a separate utility room just beyond offers valuable additional storage and practicality.
From the kitchen, doors lead directly out to the garden, providing a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The garden has been thoughtfully maintained, with a recently laid lawn and established planting including peonies, roses and lavender, offering colour throughout the seasons. With a South-East facing aspect, the garden enjoys lots of sunlight throughout the day, and the presence of a school behind ensures a peaceful and private setting during evenings, weekends and holidays, ideal for both entertaining and unwinding.
Also on the ground floor is a well-proportioned double bedroom with French doors opening onto the garden, complete with its own en-suite bathroom, making it an ideal guest suite or flexible living space.
Upstairs, three further generous double bedrooms are arranged over the upper floors. The principal bedroom spans the width of the property and benefits from built-in storage and a private en-suite. The remaining bedrooms are equally well-sized doubles, each also featuring en-suite facilities, offering excellent comfort and versatility for family living.
The home further benefits from a cellar which has plumbing for a washing machine and also provides useful storage and potential for future development, subject to the usual permissions. Subject to necessary permissions, there is also scope to extend into the loft, as neighbouring properties have done, with previous discussions suggesting the potential for a dormer extension to create additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Combermere Road is a quiet residential street with a strong neighbourly feel. The centres of both Clapham and Brixton are just a short walk away. In one direction, Brixton offers the first stop on the Victoria Line along with the vibrant mix of Brixton Village, The Ritzy cinema and a wide array of bars and restaurants. In the other, Clapham provides access to the Northern Line, Overground services and the popular amenities of Clapham High Street, Old Town and Abbeville Village. Stockwell station, with both Northern and Victoria lines, is also within easy reach, while nearby green spaces include Brockwell Park, Slade Gardens, Max Roach Park and Clapham Common.
This thoughtfully upgraded, turn-key house offers a superb opportunity to acquire a peaceful retreat in one of South London’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
