Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present this exceptional three-bedroom, two-bathroom end-of-terrace house, set within a converted church in the exclusive gated mews of Rush Common Mews and offered chain-free. Beautifully reimagined while retaining its striking original character, this unique home offers an exceptional blend of heritage architecture and contemporary living. Flooded with natural light and arranged over three principal floors with an additional mezzanine level, the property also benefits from a private rear garden and an allocated parking space.
The accommodation begins on the ground floor with a spacious kitchen and dining room positioned at the front of the property. Finished to a high specification, the contemporary kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, contrasting dark worktops and a range of integrated appliances, including a wine fridge and microwave. Cream tiled flooring completes the space, combining style with practicality, while a Spiral Cellar wine cellar sunk into the floor elevates the luxury of the home and adds further wow-factor when entertaining. To the rear is the first of the three generous double bedrooms, enjoying a peaceful outlook over the garden. This bedroom also benefits from stylish custom-made shutters, designed and fitted to complement the distinctive shape of the original arched church windows. A door from the hallway provides direct access to the private rear garden.
The low-maintenance garden has been landscaped with artificial lawn and contemporary white rendered planters, creating an attractive outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining with minimal upkeep. Further benefits include an allocated parking space situated within the mews' private courtyard, as well as video entryphones for added security and convenience.
Occupying the rear of the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom spans the full width of the property and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en suite shower room with a walk-in shower, finished with striking green subway tiles. To the front, a further double bedroom overlooks the approach to the property, whilst the family bathroom is positioned between the two bedrooms and is fitted with a contemporary white suite comprising a bath with shower overhead, complemented by matching green subway tiling.
The entire top floor is dedicated to an outstanding reception room, spanning the full length and width of the property. Forming part of the original church structure, this spectacular space is rich in character, with exposed beams, dramatic arched windows and distinctive circular windows creating an extraordinary sense of volume and flooding the room with natural light. It is a truly memorable living and entertaining space that perfectly showcases the building's architectural heritage.
Above, the mezzanine level provides exceptional versatility and could be used as a fourth bedroom, home office, additional reception room, exercise space or creative workspace, depending on individual requirements.
A particularly appealing feature is the unique mews setting, with residents enjoying access to generous shared spaces, including a tranquil wooded nature reserve, a rare and wonderfully secluded amenity that gives the development a strong sense of community and connection to nature. Further benefits include an allocated parking space within the Mews' private courtyard, adding to the convenience and exclusivity of this distinctive setting.
Rush Common Mews is ideally positioned on the edge of Brixton, offering a rare balance of gated privacy within a friendly, neighbourly mews setting, while remaining moments from one of South London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. The immediate area is particularly family friendly, with residents benefiting from the nearby green open space of Holmewood Gardens just a short walk away. This attractive garden square provides a real sense of community, with areas for dog walking, a children’s playground and open lawns used for informal gatherings and local events. There are also two well-regarded schools on the doorstep, including Orchard Primary and Christ Church Streatham, further enhancing the area’s appeal for families.
Everyday amenities are close at hand, with a mix of independent and chain shops, cafés, chemists and doctors nearby, along with the much-loved Elm Park Tavern just nine minutes away.
