Keating Estates are delighted to present this beautifully refurbished two double bedroom garden flat with a demised cellar, set within a charming Victorian property on a quiet, tree-lined residential street. Ideally located, the award-winning Brockwell Park is just a seven-minute walk away, with local cafés, pubs and shops close by, and the vibrant nightlife and restaurant scene of Brixton within ten minutes.
The handsome Victorian façade offers immediate kerb appeal, showcasing classic brickwork and decorative detailing. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated to combine period character with a sleek, contemporary finish.
Accessed on the ground floor, the property opens into a bright and spacious interior, where original hallway tiling sets the tone. To the rear, a stunning open-plan kitchen, reception and dining area forms the heart of the home. Flooded with natural light from multiple skylights and expansive bi-fold doors, this impressive space flows seamlessly into the garden, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The reception area comfortably accommodates both lounge seating and a large dining table, while the minimalist, handleless kitchen offers ample storage alongside high-quality Bosch integrated appliances and quartz worktops. A central island provides additional workspace and casual seating, creating a sociable focal point. Herringbone flooring runs throughout, complemented by a contemporary colour palette that enhances the sense of light and space.
The private rear garden is a standout feature, with a paved terrace perfect for al fresco dining, leading onto a lawn bordered by mature planting.
Two well-proportioned double bedrooms are positioned towards the front and centre of the property. The principal bedroom is a characterful and generously sized room with high ceilings, ornate cornicing, a feature fireplace, and bespoke built-in shelving and cabinetry within the alcoves. A large bay window floods the room with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and character. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, complete with built-in shelving, cabinetry and wardrobes, and a door opening onto a courtyard. It is ideal as a guest room, nursery or home office.
The stylish family bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring a full-sized bath with overhead shower and glass screen, contemporary tiling, underfloor heating, and a modern vanity unit with striking blue cabinetry. A frosted window provides natural light and ventilation while maintaining privacy.
