Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present this exceptional two double bedroom, two bathroom split-level apartment, occupying the top floors of a handsome Victorian terraced house in a leafy pocket of Brixton. Offering over 900 square feet of beautifully proportioned accommodation. The property retains an abundance of period character alongside an exceptionally light, private and thoughtfully designed interior.

One of the property's most compelling features is its unique dual-aspect position. Huge bay windows overlook both Arodene Road and Helix Road, with no direct opposite neighbours, creating a wonderfully private outlook while allowing natural light to flood the home. The split-level layout further enhances the sense of space, with the different floors creating distinct areas and a house-like feel.

The substantial reception room spans the full width of the building and is a beautiful room in which to relax and entertain. Period cornicing, a gas fireplace and a magnificent bay window give the room an elegant grandeur, while the generous proportions provide plenty of space for comfortable seating and entertaining. Modern pendant lights create the ideal setting for a dining table. At the rear of the home, the separate kitchen diner is equally impressive. Stylishly appointed with solid oak worktops, quality appliances and excellent storage, there is ample room for a breakfast bar, creating a sociable setting for everything from relaxed breakfasts to dinner with friends.

The two double bedrooms are positioned on different levels and tucked quietly towards the rear of the property, offering an excellent degree of privacy. Both are genuinely generous rooms, with the versatile layout making this an ideal home for couples, sharers, guests or those requiring dedicated space to work from home. Two beautifully presented full bathrooms provide further convenience, one an en-suite with rain-shower, the other equipped with a bathtub with overhead shower.

Storage is an exceptional strength, with two separate loft spaces, two large hallway cupboards and an array of custom-built wardrobes and shelving providing an abundance of useful storage. Hardwood sash windows, a charming tiled entryway and carefully maintained period detailing complete a home that has been designed as much for comfortable everyday living as it has for entertaining.

The property is situated in a quiet, leafy part of Brixton on tree-lined Arodene Road. The road and its adjoining streets enjoy a strong sense of community, with pedestrianised street events and local art fairs forming part of the annual calendar. The street itself is notably quiet, being blocked as a through road to Brixton Road, which contributes to the peaceful residential atmosphere while still being conveniently located.

The location offers excellent access to central Brixton, approximately a ten-to-twelve-minute walk away. Here, residents can take advantage of an extensive choice of restaurants, bars, cafés, markets, and independent shops. In addition, several popular establishments on Brixton Hill, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Ciao Brixton, and the White Horse pub, are within easy reach.

Transport links are highly convenient. Brixton Underground station, the first stop on the Victoria Line, provides fast connections into central London and the City. Numerous bus routes also operate along Brixton Hill, offering reliable alternatives to the tube. Those who prefer green spaces will benefit from the close proximity of Brockwell Park, roughly an eight-minute walk from the property. A pleasant stroll across the park leads to Herne Hill, with its Thameslink station, a variety of cafés and restaurants, and the popular Sunday market. The surrounding area also provides straightforward access to Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, Peckham, and Clapham, broadening the range of amenities and leisure options available.
