Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this five-bedroom Victorian house with a large South-facing garden, located on the ever-popular Sudbourne Road. A quiet, characterful street set within a sought-after residential pocket between Brixton and Clapham, Sudbourne Road is renowned for its charming architecture, community feel and proximity to schools.
A welcoming entrance hallway with striking décor sets the tone for what lies ahead, further enhanced by a beautiful Victorian stairwell featuring a roof-light and industrial pendant lighting. To the front, the double reception room is a beautifully proportioned space, boasting characterful wooden floorboards, a feature exposed brick fireplace with a log-burning stove, and large bay sash windows that flood the room with natural light. Many of the windows have been upgraded to double glazed sash units, improving comfort while retaining period charm. The inviting layout offers flexibility for both relaxing and entertaining, enhanced by bold colour accents that complement the home’s original features.
To the rear, the property opens out into a stunning kitchen and dining space, thoughtfully designed with both style and functionality in mind. Green cabinetry is paired with solid wood worktops and vibrant tiled splashbacks, creating a playful yet cohesive aesthetic. A central island provides additional preparation space and casual seating, while the dining area sits beneath roof glazing and contemporary pendant lighting, allowing daylight to pour in throughout the day. Steps lead seamlessly into the double reception, offering a cosy yet connected flow across the ground floor. A separate utility room is conveniently positioned just off the kitchen, providing additional storage and workspace, while a downstairs WC adds further practicality.
The landscaped South-facing garden is a true highlight, thoughtfully designed to create distinct zones for relaxation and entertaining. A combination of decking and paved areas provides ample space for outdoor dining, while raised beds, mature planting and a central olive tree add greenery and privacy. A pond with a tranquil water feature introduces a calming focal point, making this outdoor space feel like a private oasis in the heart of the city. A purpose-built shed offers convenient garden storage.
The cellar has been tanked and thoughtfully converted into an additional utility space, offering further storage and functionality, ensuring the main living areas remain uncluttered and streamlined.
Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged across multiple levels, offering five generous double bedrooms. Each room is individually styled, combining contemporary finishes with characterful details such as exposed brickwork, fireplaces and soft colour palettes. Large windows continue the theme of excellent natural light, while well-considered layouts provide comfortable and versatile living spaces. Bedroom two benefits from a custom-built wall bed, allowing the room to be easily adapted as a yoga studio, study or guest room. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a bath, separate shower cubicle and double sink, along with a lockable built-in wardrobe providing additional storage.
The loft conversion has transformed the top floor into a spectacular principal suite, designed as a studio-style retreat. This expansive room features unique architectural lines, warm timber detailing and a striking skylight that draws in an abundance of natural light. The sense of space is further enhanced by wide glazing overlooking the surrounding rooftops, while a raised sleeping area creates subtle separation within the open plan design. A hammock and flexible seating area add to the relaxed atmosphere, making this a truly special sanctuary within the home. The accompanying en-suite bathroom is equally distinctive, combining bold tiling, wood panelling and contemporary fixtures.
The property has been well cared for and maintained by the current owners over the years, presenting in great condition throughout.
