Brixton is a melting pot of culture, cuisine and creativity. An explosion of inventive, new restaurants, pop-ups, fashion stores and art galleries sit alongside the many great pubs, music venues and nightclubs that have been around for years. Transport links are excellent, with London Underground (Victoria Line) trains reaching central London in 12 minutes. If you’re craving green space, Brockwell Park and its famed Art Deco lido are close by. Brixton brings together all the best things about London and is one of the most vibrant and diverse places to live south of the river.

Property details
Keating Estates are delighted to present this exceptional two bedroom maisonette, complete with a private courtyard garden and its own entrance, within an attractive Victorian conversion on Probert Road.
This architecturally designed former bakery has been thoughtfully converted into a truly distinctive home, seamlessly blending striking contemporary design with the charm and character of its Victorian origins. Occupying a prominent corner position on this peaceful residential street, the property unfolds over two beautifully arranged floors, offering an impressive sense of space and an intelligently designed layout. Benefitting from its own private entrance and a private decked courtyard garden, this unique maisonette has been carefully crafted to maximise natural light, functionality and entertaining space throughout.
Stepping inside through the private entrance, a welcoming hallway provides access to two generous bedrooms, thoughtfully positioned on the entrance level to provide peaceful retreats away from the main entertaining accommodation. The generous principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with three partially frosted sash windows flooding the room with natural light whilst maintaining an excellent degree of privacy. Soft carpeting underfoot enhances the cosy atmosphere, whilst a fitted wardrobe provides excellent built-in storage without compromising the spacious proportions of the room. Showcasing its versatility, the second bedroom is currently arranged as a home office, yet has the proportions to accommodate a double bed. It has also been fully damp proofed in 2021, complete with warranty.
The beautifully appointed family bathroom is finished to an exceptional standard. A full-sized bath with glazed shower screen is complemented by both an overhead rainfall shower, creating a luxurious yet practical bathing space. Large-format grey wall tiles provide a sleek, contemporary finish, whilst a generous recessed mirror offers useful storage with an integrated display ledge. A heated towel rail and stylish modern sanitaryware complete this elegant and highly functional room.
Also on this level, bi-fold doors open directly onto the private decked courtyard garden, creating a seamless transition between the interior and the outdoor space. Wonderfully secluded and low maintenance, the garden provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, summer entertaining or simply enjoying a morning coffee, acting as a peaceful extension of the home throughout the warmer months. The decking has also been replaced within recent months.
Descending the striking engineered timber staircase reveals the true heart of the home. This exceptional open-plan kitchen and reception room has been designed with modern living in mind, offering generous proportions that comfortably accommodate distinct seating and dining areas whilst maintaining a wonderfully sociable atmosphere. The architectural design makes excellent use of the available space, creating an environment that feels both contemporary and inviting. The sleek kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with clean-lined cabinetry, integrated appliances, generous worktop space and plentiful storage, making it equally suited to everyday cooking and entertaining guests. Tucked neatly off the kitchen is a cleverly converted former larder, now providing a highly versatile space that functions perfectly as a walk-in pantry, compact home office or study, adding further flexibility to an already impressive home.
Probert Road is a popular residential street tucked between Brixton and Herne Hill, perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of both neighbourhoods. Brixton Underground (Victoria line) is approximately a 14-minute walk, whilst Herne Hill Station can be reached in around 12 minutes, providing Thameslink services to Central London. Brockwell Park, with its iconic Lido, tennis courts and open green spaces, is just a short stroll away, offering a fantastic escape for recreation and relaxation.
Residents are spoilt for choice with the vibrant amenities of Brixton, including the independent cafés, restaurants and bars of Brixton Village and Market Row, alongside popular eateries such as Salon, Franco Manca and Honest Burgers. Herne Hill also offers a charming village atmosphere with artisan coffee shops, independent boutiques, traditional pubs and a weekly Sunday market, while everyday shopping is catered for by nearby supermarkets and the wide range of amenities along Brixton Hill and Coldharbour Lane.
