Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this impressive three-double-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached Victorian townhouse on Coldharbour Lane. A substantial family home arranged over four generous floors, the property offers over 1,800 square feet of living space just minutes from the heart of Brixton, with high ceilings, bright and airy rooms, and a south-east-facing rear garden.
Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners, this handsome Victorian home combines timeless period character with contemporary comfort. Set back from the vibrant energy of central Brixton, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of space throughout, with generously proportioned rooms, excellent natural light and a practical layout ideally suited to modern family life.
The lower floor is dedicated to an exceptional kitchen and dining space, as well as a pleasant place to work from home. Designed to be the social heart of the home, this impressive room provides ample space to cook, dine, work and entertain. A striking central island with marble worktops creates a focal point, complemented by extensive storage, quality appliances and generous preparation space. Large windows and a glazed door draw in natural light and provide direct access to the south-east-facing rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Renovated by the current owners with a quality, enduring finish, a convenient cloakroom with marble tiles also resides on this floor, alongside a dedicated laundry area and additional storage.
Occupying the raised ground floor is a magnificent reception room that spans the full depth of the house, creating an exceptional living and entertaining environment. Flooded with natural light, the room enjoys a desirable dual aspect, with large sash windows overlooking both the front of the property and the rear garden. High ceilings enhance the sense of grandeur, while wood shutters and period detailing add warmth and character. The focal points are two attractive, decorative fireplaces framed by exposed brickwork, providing texture and a charming nod to the property's Victorian heritage. The impressive proportions allow ample room for multiple seating areas, making this a versatile setting for family life, entertaining and relaxing alike.
The first and second floors provide three well-proportioned double bedrooms arranged across two levels. The principal bedroom occupies the first floor, alongside a beautifully renovated family bathroom. Finished to an exceptional standard, this luxurious space features a freestanding cast-iron clawfoot bath, walk-in rainfall shower, vanity unit, WC and striking patterned tiled flooring, all framed by marble wall tiles and bathed in natural light from a large sash window, creating a boutique hotel feel.
The remaining two bedrooms are situated on the upper floor, both generous doubles ideal for family members, guests or those seeking a home office. One of the bedrooms benefits from a contemporary en-suite shower room.
Outside, the south-east-facing garden provides a fantastic outdoor retreat. Offering plenty of room for al fresco dining, entertaining and family enjoyment, this private space benefits from recently replaced fencing with durable concrete posts and gravel boards. A new shed provides practical garden storage, while the south-east orientation allows for excellent natural sunlight throughout much of the day.
The current owners have invested considerably in the maintenance and enhancement of the property, ensuring it is presented in excellent condition throughout. All windows have been replaced with high-quality units that remain sympathetic to the home's Victorian character and conservation area setting, while the brickwork has been carefully repointed where required. Further practical improvements include Cat 6 cabling throughout the house, providing fast and reliable connectivity across all four floors.
