Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present this beautifully presented three double-bedroom, three-bathroom split-level Victorian conversion, arranged over the upper floors of a charming period property on a quiet, tree-lined residential street. Perfectly positioned just a seven-minute stroll from the rolling greenery of the award-winning Brockwell Park, with local pubs, cafés and shops close by, plus the enormous variety of restaurants, bars and nightlife in central Brixton within easy walking distance, the location offers the perfect balance of tranquillity and vibrant city living.

As you enter the flat from the ground floor, a private internal staircase leads you up to the first floor, where the sense of space becomes immediately apparent. The split-level design ensures a wonderful sense of privacy, separating the bright and sociable living spaces on the first floor from the peaceful bedroom accommodation above. This well-considered layout is particularly appealing to families, professionals working from home, or those seeking flexible living arrangements.

Occupying the front of the property, the reception room spans the full width of the building, creating a wonderfully bright setting for everyday life. Numerous sash windows flood the room with natural light, beautifully highlighting the impressive high ceilings and enhancing the feeling of space. A charming feature fireplace provides an attractive focal point, complemented by bespoke built-in cabinetry and shelving within the alcoves, whilst sleek flooring adds a contemporary finish. There is ample room to accommodate both comfortable seating and a dining area, creating an ideal environment for relaxing and entertaining alike.

To the rear, the well-appointed kitchen enjoys a semi-open plan layout, thoughtfully designed with both style and practicality in mind. Striking sea green cabinetry is paired with contrasting dark worktops and a subway-tiled splashback, creating a timeless yet contemporary aesthetic. There is plentiful storage and preparation space alongside ample room for a dining table, making this an inviting setting for everything from everyday meals to entertaining guests and creating a sociable flow between the two spaces.

Also on this floor is the third double bedroom, peacefully positioned to the rear and enjoying leafy views through two sash windows. A navy blue feature wall introduces a stylish splash of colour, whilst soft carpeting underfoot enhances the sense of comfort, creating a versatile room equally suited as a guest bedroom, nursery or home office.

Completing this floor is a contemporary shower room, fitted with a walk-in shower enclosure finished in classic subway tiles, complemented by dark tiled flooring and a window providing natural light and ventilation.

Ascending to the second floor, the principal bedroom is peacefully positioned to the rear of the property, creating a tranquil retreat. Well-proportioned, the room benefits from built-in wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room complete with a large walk-in shower, offering a private and well-appointed principal suite.

Positioned at the front of the property, the second double bedroom is another generous room, beautifully illuminated by double-aspect windows that create a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the day. Cleverly designed built-in wardrobes provide excellent storage, whilst a designated home office or study area enjoys natural light from both a Velux window and a charming feature window, creating the perfect work-from-home environment. Access to useful eaves storage further enhances the practicality of this versatile space.

Completing the accommodation is the spacious family bathroom, thoughtfully appointed with both a full-sized bath and a separate shower enclosure. A Velux window fills the room with natural light whilst providing excellent ventilation, completing this well-designed space.

The property is located in a quiet and leafy part of vibrant Brixton, on tree-lined Helix Road. Situated a ten-to-twelve-minute stroll from all that central Brixton has to offer, purchasers also have popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and The White Horse pub. This superb flat is ideal for anyone who wants to be close to the action whilst maintaining a sense of calm. The new owner will have the best of both worlds, with everything on offer in the hustle and bustle of central Brixton, yet able to retreat to the quieter, village-like community around Brixton Hill.

First stop on the Victoria Line, Brixton tube station is a stroll down the hill, whisking you into central London and the City within minutes. The buses also offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations, with regular day and night services on Brixton Hill. The location is ideal, with the green open spaces of Brockwell Park within a seven-minute walk. A pleasant fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station, with Thameslink services into the City and the many cafés, restaurants, pubs and Sunday market of leafy Herne Hill. The village feel continues with easy access to Dulwich Village, East Dulwich and Peckham, whilst in the opposite direction Acre Lane leads on to vibrant Clapham.
