Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this fantastic two bedroom Victorian apartment on Brailsford Road, a desirable and leafy residential street, adjacent to Brockwell Park. The location is key, benefitting from a quiet, cul-de-sac setting and a real sense of community.
Forming the heart of this beautiful home is a spacious reception room, flooded with natural light from a characterful bay window, creating a bright and airy ambience. The sense of space is enhanced by high, corniced ceilings to form an inviting setting for entertaining dinner guests or simply unwinding on the sofa. Adjacent, the sleek kitchen offers ample storage space, neatly integrated appliances and wrap-around surfaces, complete with crisp white tiles for a clean and bright finish. A new boiler and fridge freezer add additional reassurance.
The two bedrooms are peacefully nestled to the rear of the property, with leafy views. The principal is particularly spacious with fitted storage and a soothing ambience. Also with space for a double bed, the second bedroom sits adjacent. Currently a double home office and guest room, this versatile space can easily be repurposed to suit the needs of the purchaser if a second bedroom isn’t required. A neutral bathroom completes this lovely home, conveniently set in the centre of the apartment and equipped with a shower over a bath tub, ideal for a soak in the bubbles after a stroll around the park.
As far as locations go, it doesn’t get much better. Brockwell Park runs behind Brailsford Road, with the fantastic benefit of an entrance to the Park moments from your front door, essentially providing a huge garden which someone else maintains for you. The beautiful greenery of this award winning park will not disappoint, along with its iconic 1930s Lido, excellent sports facilities, popular café and more.
Brailsford Road itself is a quiet and desirable leafy street, enjoying a cul-de-sac setting which reduces traffic flow and fosters a real sense of community, further supported by the residents’ street garden where neighbours meet to tend the greenery and soak up the neighbourly vibe.
Central Brixton is a ten minute walk away, with the excellent transport links on offer at the Tube and Overground station, in addition to the wide variety of hotspots and eateries which vibrant Brixton is famous for. Brailsford Road has a large supermarket, and various local heroes such as Brockwell Blend, The Hootenanny, Maremma and Naughty Piglets right on your doorstep. The amenities in leafy and village-esq Herne Hill are also a pleasant ten minute stroll through Brockwell Park, including the Thameslink train connections. This fantastically located property will appeal to purchasers considering moving to both of these in-demand areas.
Newly Extended lease. Chain-free.
