Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present this exceptionally spacious three double bedroom, two bathroom, split-level maisonette, offering over 1,200 square feet of beautifully proportioned accommodation within an attractive Victorian building on the corner of Ballater Road and Acre Lane. With its own private entrance and generous living spaces, this characterful home offers the scale and flexibility of a house, combined with a convenient location between Brixton and Clapham with a wealth of amenities on the doorstep.

Set on an elevated corner position, the property enjoys an abundance of natural light and a wonderful sense of space throughout. A private entrance on Ballater Road leads to a staircase rising into a generous hallway, immediately giving a sense of the impressive proportions found throughout the home.

The grand reception room is a particularly striking space, with high ceilings, ornate cornicing and a sweeping arrangement of large sash windows. Shutters throughout the property enhance both the period character and sense of privacy, while the generous proportions allow for a relaxed and sociable living environment. Recently redecorated, this is an elegant room that feels equally suited to quiet evenings at home or entertaining friends.

To the rear, the kitchen has been completely redesigned to create a wonderful kitchen-diner and natural hub of the home. Finished with rich navy-blue cabinetry with contrasting upper cabinets, luxurious quartz worktops and classic metro-tiled splashbacks, the kitchen combines style with excellent practicality. A peninsular provides additional preparation space and enhances the sociable layout, while extensive cabinetry, and open timber shelving offer plenty of storage. The herringbone flooring and warm pendant lighting add to the welcoming feel, with space for a generous dining table making this a wonderfully sociable setting for everything from relaxed family breakfasts to dinner with friends. Underfloor heating adds an extra layer of comfort.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is exceptionally generous, with high ceilings, a feature fireplace, excellent natural light and a large semi-fitted wardrobe included. The remaining two bedrooms are positioned towards the rear of the home, on differing floors, each still genuine doubles making the property particularly adaptable to modern lifestyles. The accommodation is complemented by two bathrooms. The main bathroom is luxuriously large, while the second bathroom features a shower, providing excellent flexibility for busy mornings, guests or family living. A utility cupboard within the main bathroom cleverly houses the washing machine and dryer, along with a Belfast sink for added practicality such as pre-soaking.

Considerable thought and investment has gone into the property, including the complete redesign of the kitchen and installation of underfloor heating, some upgraded windows, shutters throughout, and fresh decoration to the living room and two guest bedrooms. The result is a home which retains the grandeur and character of its Victorian origins while offering a stylish and comfortable setting for contemporary living.

The lifestyle on offer continues beyond the property itself. Acre Lane is close at hand, with its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, while the vibrant heart of Brixton is around a five-minute walk away. Here, Brixton Village, Market Row and the surrounding streets provide an excellent choice of restaurants, bars, shops and cultural venues. In the opposite direction, Clapham High Street is accessible in around ten-minutes, offering a further wealth of independent businesses and places to eat and drink.

Transport connections are excellent, with both Brixton and Clapham offering Underground and rail services within easy walking distance, providing swift access across London. For those looking to escape the bustle of the city, both Brockwell Park and Clapham Common are also readily accessible, providing extensive green space for weekend walks, exercise and relaxing outdoors.

A particularly useful practical benefit is the resident parking position, with the current owners having successfully resolved the previous issue with the council, meaning parking permits are no longer a concern.

A truly impressive Victorian home, combining grandeur, generous proportions and a wonderfully sociable layout with an enviable position between Brixton and Clapham.

Chain-free. Long lease of over 980 years.
