Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this charming two double bedroom Victorian garden maisonette with a private entrance and a beautiful private garden, peacefully positioned on the sought-after Glenelg Road. This desirable residential pocket sits equidistant between central Brixton and Clapham High Street.

Spanning over 700 square feet across the ground floor, this beautifully maintained home enjoys the character and proportions synonymous with Victorian architecture, whilst offering exciting potential to extend into the side return, subject to the necessary permissions.

A private entrance creates an immediate sense of independence, leading into a well-balanced layout with separate living and kitchen-diner spaces. Positioned at the heart of the home, the reception room is a welcoming retreat, centred around an attractive feature fireplace and flanked by bespoke shelving. Dual sash windows draw in an abundance of natural light, while high ceilings and period detailing enhance the sense of space.

To the rear, the characterful kitchen is packed with charm, featuring exposed brickwork, warm timber floorboards, a striking vintage dresser, open shelving and a practical stainless-steel sink beneath a large window overlooking the garden. There is ample room for a dining table, making this a sociable space for everyday living, whilst glazed doors open directly onto the private garden.

The garden is a wonderful extension of the home, offering a leafy setting framed by mature trees and established planting. A generous gravelled seating area provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining or entertaining.

Both bedrooms are genuine doubles of similar proportions, a rarity in Victorian homes. Each benefits from original floorboards, high ceilings and calming neutral décor, whilst the rear bedroom also enjoys fitted wardrobes flanking a charming feature fireplace. The bathroom is beautifully appointed, complete with a freestanding roll-top bath, separate walk-in rain shower and timeless finishes.

The property has been well cared for, with the front wall repointed in 2024 and a new shower recently installed, ensuring the home is tastefully presented and in good condition throughout.

Glenelg Road is nestled within a popular pocket of SW2, sandwiched between Brixton and Clapham. The cafes, bars and restaurants of Acre Lane are at the end of the road, with local heroes such as Cayena Coffee Roasters and Insta-famous Aries Bakehouse on the doorstep, along with large-brand supermarkets.

Within a further few minutes’ walk down the road, purchasers will find themselves in the heart of Brixton, with Brixton Village, POP Brixton, The Ritzy cinema and the legendary music venues, Brixton Academy and Brixton Electric, all at their fingertips, as well as The Upstairs private members club. In the other direction, is vibrant and bustling Clapham High Street offering cracking nightlife, culinary delights and the green open spaces of Clapham Common. A short ten-minute stroll brings you to Abbeville Village with an abundance of local shops including The Ginger Pig butchers, MacFarlane’s Deli and the charming pub, The Abbeville.

Potential purchasers will benefit from the Northern Line (Clapham North and Clapham Common tube stations) and the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station), as well as Overground services and an excellent network of day and night buses.

Combining period charm, a generous private garden and future extension potential, this delightful maisonette is a superb home in a convenient setting.

Chain-free.
