Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this substantial three double bedroom split-level apartment, set within a handsome Victorian terraced house. Arodene Road is a sought-after and neighbourly street ideally located for the amenities and transport connections of central Brixton, yet set back enough to maintain a welcome sense of calm.
Spanning over 1,100 square feet, this characterful home offers proportions comparable to some three-bedroom houses in the area, arranged over two floors to provide both generous living space and excellent privacy. The property opens via a traditional entrance, leading to a grand first floor where a stunning reception room takes centre stage. Bathed in natural light from four large sash windows, this elegant space boasts high ceilings, warm wooden flooring and a beautiful feature fireplace, creating an inviting yet impressive setting.
To the rear, a generous kitchen diner provides ample space for cooking, dining and entertaining, with charming cabinetry, extensive worktops and a second feature fireplace adding to the home’s character. Adjacent is a convenient WC.
All three bedrooms are thoughtfully separated. The principal bedroom is peacefully nestled atop the home, an expansive and tranquil retreat with skylights and useful eaves storage, boasting far-reaching views including of The City. The second bedroom is also on the upper floor, set to the rear with a calm, private feel. The third bedroom is positioned centrally on the first floor, a well-proportioned double ideal for guests, a study, additional snug or indeed a sleeping space. A stylish main bathroom completes the home, equipped with a bathtub and overhead shower. Of further benefit, the roof has recently been re-covered.
The property is situated in a quiet, leafy part of Brixton on tree-lined Arodene Road. The road and its adjoining streets enjoy a strong sense of community, with pedestrianised street events and local art fairs forming part of the annual calendar. The street itself is notably quiet, being blocked as a through road to Brixton Road, which contributes to the peaceful residential atmosphere while still being conveniently located.
The location offers excellent access to central Brixton, approximately a ten-to-twelve-minute walk away. Here, residents can take advantage of an extensive choice of restaurants, bars, cafés, markets, and independent shops. In addition, several popular establishments on Brixton Hill, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Ciao Brixton, and the White Horse pub, are within easy reach.
Transport links are highly convenient. Brixton Underground station, the first stop on the Victoria Line, provides fast connections into central London and the City. Numerous bus routes also operate along Brixton Hill, offering reliable alternatives to the tube. Those who prefer green spaces will benefit from the close proximity of Brockwell Park, roughly an eight-minute walk from the property. A pleasant stroll across the park leads to Herne Hill, with its Thameslink station, a variety of cafés and restaurants, and the popular Sunday market. The surrounding area also provides straightforward access to Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, Peckham, and Clapham, broadening the range of amenities and leisure options available.
