Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this exceptional three bedroom Victorian house with a private garden, boasting impressive kerb appeal and beautifully considered interiors, ideally positioned on the highly regarded Elm Park, surrounded by a fantastic community and a parade of shops and eateries nearby. Behind its attractive Victorian façade lies a home that effortlessly blends timeless period charm with contemporary family living.
The elegant reception room is a wonderfully calming space, decorated in soothing tones and centred around a charming feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating the perfect setting for cosy winter evenings. Built-in shutters frame the front window, whilst bespoke shelving and cabinetry provide ample storage for books and decorative pieces, allowing the room to remain beautifully uncluttered. A second reception area sits adjacent offering versatility as a home gym, play area or even a cosy reading snug.
To the rear, the property opens into a spectacular open-plan kitchen and dining room, undoubtedly the heart of the home. Navy blue shaker-style cabinetry is paired with luxurious granite worktops against a backdrop of charming brickwork, creating a timeless aesthetic, whilst integrated appliances and open shelving provide both practicality and character. A breakfast island has a built in extractor fan as well as high spec induction hob, whilst offering an informal place for morning coffee or casual dining, flowing seamlessly into the generous dining area where there is ample space to entertain family and friends below pendant mood lighting. Floor to ceiling glass, along with a large rooflight, flood the room with natural light, ensuring a wonderfully bright atmosphere throughout the year whilst creating an exceptional connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Sliding doors allow a seamless flow out to the garden, a beautifully landscaped space with luxuriously large paving framed by raised planters and striking fencing to create a minimalist look without compromising on style. A lovely, low-maintenance outdoor retreat for entertaining, dining al fresco or simply relaxing. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility off the kitchen, and a conveniently positioned downstairs WC, along with understairs storage.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom spans the full width of the house, a vaulted butterfly ceiling, a wall of wardrobes and sumptuous wooden flooring creating a serene and inviting retreat, complete with ceiling fan. A sliding door creates Jack-and-Jill access to the luxurious family bathroom, enabling it to double as an en-suite. Beautifully blanked in in herringbone tiling, the bathroom is sophisticated and indulgent with a double-ended bathtub alongside a rainfall shower with an additional handheld attachment, plus double sinks - a true home-spa feel.
The two further bedrooms are nestled to the rear of the home, enjoying peaceful views across the garden. One is currently arranged as a delightful nursery, whilst the other is a home office and guest room.
Elm Park is renowned for its strong sense of community, with an active neighbourhood spirit, regular events and a yearly street party. The road benefits from recent council investment, with improved pavements, planting and a new one-way system creating a peaceful, low-traffic environment. A post office, corner shop and much-loved local pub sit at the end of the road, enhancing the village-like feel.
Purchasers also have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the ever-popular White Horse Pub, as well as a 24-hour gym within a six-minute walk. This stylish house is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action whilst retaining a genuine sense of calm.
Situated a fourteen-minute stroll from the culinary and nightlife mecca of Brixton and just seven minutes from the green open spaces of Brockwell Park, the location offers the best of South London living. A further ten-minute walk through the park brings you to the village atmosphere of Herne Hill, home to independent cafés, pubs, shops, a popular weekend market and Thameslink and Southeastern services. Lime bike stations are just a couple of minutes away, whilst Brixton Underground station on the Victoria Line is a short walk downhill.
