Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this handsome five bedroom, two bathroom Victorian terraced house, beautifully positioned on the peaceful and sought-after Hemberton Road, perfectly located within easy reach of Clapham, Brixton and Stockwell.

The handsome Victorian façade immediately sets a welcoming tone, with a pretty square bay framed by established wisteria, traditional detailing and a smart black front door. Arranged over three natural floors, this attractive period home offers a wonderful balance of generous living space, original character and exciting potential for a new owner to make their own.

On the ground floor, the impressive double reception room provides a lovely introduction to the house. Both rooms retain a wealth of period features, including beautiful cornicing, ceiling roses, feature fireplaces and exposed floorboards, while neutral decoration creates a bright and versatile setting. The square bay to the front is particularly attractive, with sash windows drawing in plenty of natural light and providing a charming outlook over the road. To the rear, French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a natural connection between the reception space and outside.

The kitchen is located towards the rear of the property and is a good size, offering plenty of scope for modernisation and the opportunity to create a fantastic contemporary kitchen and entertaining space. The double-aspect layout benefits from two sash windows to the side, while French doors open directly onto the garden, making this a particularly practical space for everyday family life and entertaining.

The garden is a lovely feature of the property, with established greenery providing a good degree of privacy. A rendered white wall and slatted fencing create a smart backdrop, while the decked area offers plenty of space for outdoor seating, entertaining and relaxing. There is also a small shed providing useful additional storage.

The first floor provides three bedrooms and a shower room. The second bedroom is particularly impressive, stretching across the width of the property and featuring a beautiful square bay with sash windows, as well as an additional sash window. A feature fireplace, ceiling rose and cornicing add further period charm. Two further double bedrooms are positioned towards the rear, both enjoying views over the garden, while the shower room is finished with dark tiling and a separate shower cubicle.

The top floor is home to the principal bedroom, a peaceful and inviting retreat with a double-aspect outlook and built-in wardrobes providing useful storage. The room also benefits from direct access to a private roof terrace, which is decked and enclosed by slatted fencing, creating a wonderfully secluded spot to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. A further bedroom on this floor overlooks the garden, making an excellent fifth bedroom, home office or additional living space depending on the needs of the new owner.

The family bathroom features a bath with rainfall shower and a window providing natural light and ventilation.

Completing the accommodation is a useful cellar, providing valuable storage for household items, bikes and seasonal belongings.

Hemberton Road is a quiet and peaceful residential road located moments from the amenities along the direct route between Clapham and Brixton, with Landor Road and Stockwell also within easy reach. The new purchaser will be spoiled for choice when it comes to transport links, with the Northern and Victoria lines, together with the Overground, all within walking distance. Clapham High Street is around a six-minute walk away, offering a fantastic selection of restaurants, bars and nightlife, while Clapham Common and Abbeville Village are also close by.

Clapham area highlights

There’s something for everyone in Clapham and it draws an eclectic crowd. Clapham Common buzzes with activity and there’s a diverse mix of restaurants, shops, independent boutiques and nightlife, along with some wonderful architecture. The local schools are excellent and the transport options plentiful, with three London Underground (Northern Line) stations in close proximity and frequent London Overground trains from Clapham High Street station. It rarely feels overcrowded here, despite the abundance of things to do, and Clapham endures as one of the most desirable places to live in south London.
