Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this charming one bedroom flat with a private garden, set within a handsome Victorian property on the sought-after Helix Road. This quiet, tree-lined residential street is a short stroll from the award-winning Brockwell Park, local pubs, cafés and shops, plus the enormous variety of nightlife and restaurants in central Brixton.

Recently refreshed this lovely home is a neutral blank canvas, offering beautifully proportioned accommodation with period character throughout and the exciting scope to extend in the future if desired, subject to permissions.

The home features a generous reception room with high ceilings, ornate shadow cornicing, original timber flooring and a striking feature fireplace, creating an elegant entertaining space filled with natural light. The separate dine-in kitchen is set to the rear, offering an inviting blend of practicality and character. Generous in size, the space comfortably accommodates a dining table, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. Finished with warm wooden worktops, neutral cabinetry and stylish metro-tiled splashbacks, the kitchen enjoys an airy feel, enhanced by large windows and additional pantry storage. Wooden flooring and open shelving add further charm, while direct access to the garden creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Outside, the private rear garden enjoys a patio seating area leading to a raised lawn framed by mature planting beds, offering a peaceful retreat ideal for entertaining or relaxing.

Nestled away from the already quiet street, the spacious double bedroom is bright and tranquil, with high corniced ceilings, large windows and original floorboards enhancing the sense of volume and character, complete with space for generous wardrobes. The bathroom is finished in a neutral style and includes a bathtub with overhead shower.

With precedent already established along the street, there is the potential to extend into the side return, subject to the necessary planning permissions, providing the opportunity to reconfigure the flat into a two bedroom home. The property also benefits from a useful cellar for additional storage.

The property is located in a quiet and leafy part of vibrant Brixton, on tree-lined Helix Road. Situated a ten-to-twelve-minute stroll from all that central Brixton has to offer, purchasers also have popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and The White Horse pub. This exquisite flat is ideal for anyone who wants to be close to the action while maintaining a sense of calm, offering the best of both worlds.

Brixton tube station, the first stop on the Victoria Line, is a short walk away, whisking you into central London and the City within minutes. Excellent bus links run along Brixton Hill, providing convenient day and night services. The green open spaces of Brockwell Park are just moments away, and a pleasant fifteen-minute walk across the park leads to Herne Hill station, with access to the Thameslink and the many cafés, restaurants and Sunday market of this charming village setting. Nearby areas such as Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, Peckham and Clapham further enhance the lifestyle on offer.

Chain-free.
