Property details
Keating Estates are delighted to present this beautifully appointed three-bedroom Victorian family home, complete with a lovely private garden. Combining period charm with contemporary design, this attractive property offers a thoughtfully arranged layout, generous proportions and an abundance of natural light throughout. Located just off Brixton Hill, Morrish Road is a neighbourly residential street boasting a book club, local traditional pub and large brand supermarket within a couple of minutes’ stroll.
This stunning house was designed by an architect and comprehensively refurbished by the current owners when they purchased the property seven years ago, lovingly cared for ever since and painted throughout in Farrow & Ball and Little Greene. At the heart of the home is an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and reception space spanning the rear of the property. Designed for modern living and entertaining, this impressive room is bathed in sunlight from three large roof lights, while striking Crittall-style glazing and French doors provide a seamless connection to the garden beyond. The reception area offers ample space for relaxing, while the dining area comfortably accommodates family meals and larger gatherings.
The beautifully designed kitchen features contrasting cabinetry and a central island, complemented by elegant pendant lighting, wall lights and a classic Butler sink. Herringbone flooring flows throughout the space, enhancing the sense of warmth and quality. A separate pantry and utility room provide valuable additional storage and practicality, ensuring the space is as functional as it is stylish.
The pretty garden is a true highlight of the property, enjoying a position which is well-placed for privacy. Designed to be low maintenance, this inviting outdoor space is ideal for al fresco dining, summer entertaining or simply unwinding in peaceful surroundings, with plenty of scope for planting and personalisation.
To the front of the house, a formal reception room is accessed via double doors from the hallway. This elegant space is centred around a beautiful bay window fitted with plantation shutters, which floods the room with natural light and enhances the sense of character and proportion.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The impressive principal bedroom spans the full width of the house and benefits from built-in wardrobes, a feature fireplace and two sash windows fitted with charming café-style shutters. The second and third bedrooms enjoy peaceful views over the garden and would make ideal children's bedrooms, guest accommodation or home office space. The family bathroom is conveniently positioned between the bedrooms and is finished with neutral tiling, a roll-top bath set below the window, a luxurious shower enclosure, complete with contemporary fittings.
There is also the potential to grow into the home in the future, with precedent set on the street for loft conversions, subject to the necessary permissions.
