Property details
Keating Estates are delighted to present to market this beautifully refurbished, architecturally designed three bedroom family home with two bathrooms plus a downstairs WC, a dressing room, South-West facing garden and off-street parking. This exceptional house is located in a small enclave of houses off one of the area’s most sough-after streets - Shakespeare Road - within walking distance of both Herne and Brixton, with Brockwell Park at the end of the road.
Boasting over 1,000 square feet the house has been comprehensively renovated to the design and specification of architect Ronan Keane, where every finish has been carefully selected to create a stylish and contemporary home that balances elegant design with practical family living.
The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed to balance family life and entertaining. A beautifully presented reception room sits to the front of the property, where generous proportions and an abundance of natural light create an immediate sense of warmth. Wide-plank wooden flooring runs throughout the ground floor, enhancing the seamless feel of the living spaces. Sliding pocket doors provide the option to open through to the impressive kitchen and dining space at the rear, creating a wonderful sense of flow and versatility. Whether hosting guests or enjoying quieter evenings, the layout can be adapted to suit the occasion.
The stunning contemporary kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home. Designed with both style and functionality in mind, the kitchen features sleek navy matt-finish handleless cabinetry, a central island with breakfast bar seating, elegant pendant lighting, a classic subway-tile splashback and a full range of integrated appliances. The space is perfectly suited to modern family life, with ample room for dining and entertaining.
A beautiful oriel window with integrated seating provides an eye-catching architectural feature, creating a cosy spot to relax while enjoying views of the garden. Large glass sliding doors flood the room with natural light and open directly onto the beautifully landscaped south-west facing garden. This private outdoor space enjoys sunshine throughout much of the day and provides the perfect setting for summer dining, entertaining friends or simply unwinding outdoors.
A convenient guest WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the carefully considered design continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms. The principal bedroom offers a calm and sophisticated retreat, featuring a cleverly designed walk-in wardrobe discreetly tucked away behind sliding doors. The accompanying en-suite shower room has been finished to an exceptional standard, boasting a walk-in shower, matt black fixtures and fittings, and striking contrasting white and pink tiling that creates a contemporary boutique-hotel feel.
The second bedroom is a generous double room, ideal for children or guests while the third bedroom offers excellent versatility and could serve equally well as a nursery, guest bedroom or home office. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed, featuring a bath with shower above, complemented by matt black fixtures and fittings and a clean, modern finish.
The property also benefits from an allocated off-street parking space directly outside the front door, an increasingly rare and valuable feature in this highly sought-after part of South London.
