Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present this attractive two bedroom flat with a private, spacious garden, occupying the ground floor of a beautiful Victorian house. This appealing home further benefits from a fantastic location, equidistant between Clapham and Brixton High Streets, with a vast array of amenities on the doorstep.
At the front of the property, the open-plan reception and kitchen forms a sociable heart to the home. A generous bay window draws in natural light, with frosted lower panes offering privacy from the street. There is space to accommodate a comfortable seating area alongside a dining table, creating a versatile setting for relaxed evenings, everyday meals and entertaining friends. The high ceiling enhances the sense of space, whilst the bay provides a particularly pleasant spot to settle down with a book.
Neatly arranged to one end of the room, the kitchen features cream cabinetry, contrasting with stainless steel work surfaces and white metro tiling. A combination of cupboards and drawers provides practical storage, with an inset sink, fitted oven and gas hob completing the space. Its open arrangement allows the cook to remain part of the conversation, making the room equally suited to quiet suppers and hosting guests.
Positioned towards the rear, the principal bedroom enjoys a lovely connection to the outside, with a glazed door opening directly onto the garden. A large side window brings in additional light, whilst extensive fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage without the need for freestanding furniture. The understated décor creates a restful atmosphere, with space for a double bed and personal touches.
The second bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed and benefits from additional raised storage, ideal for keeping lesser-used items tucked away. Glazed double doors open onto the side return, providing access through to the main garden. This versatile room could also serve as a guest bedroom or home office, depending on the purchaser’s needs.
Centrally positioned, the bathroom is finished with pale tiling and includes a bath with a glass screen, a basin, WC and chrome towel rail. A useful laundry recess keeps the washing machine separate from the living space, whilst extensive hallway storage and access to a cellar help to keep this lovely home neat and tidy.
The private garden is a particular highlight, where a combination of brick paving, gravel and stepping stones creates an attractive setting with space for outdoor dining, summer barbecues and relaxed seating. Established planting and pots soften the fenced boundaries, offering an enjoyable outdoor retreat with plenty of scope for keen gardeners to add their own touches.
Presented in good condition and freshly decorated, this welcoming home is ready for its next owner to move in and put their own personal stamp on the interiors. Precedent has also been set on the street should the new owner wish to seek the necessary permissions to extend into the side return in the future.
Solon Road is a popular residential street, with the restaurants, supermarkets and bars of Acre Lane a short walk away. Having come a long way over recent years, Acre Lane is home to an array of independent and chain businesses, including the Insta-famous Aries bakery. Vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street is approximately a eight-minute stroll away, offering great nightlife, with the cafés and boutique shops of Abbeville Village, Venn Street and Clapham Old Town all close by.
In the other direction lies everything Brixton has to offer, from its music venues and the extremely popular Brixton Village to major high street shops and excellent transport links. Brixton is the first stop on the Victoria line, whilst Clapham North, Clapham Common and Clapham South provide access to the Northern line, giving purchasers a choice of connections across the capital. Completing the appeal, two wonderful green open spaces are within walking distance: Clapham Common and Brockwell Park, with its iconic 1930s Lido, offering ample opportunities for weekend walks, exercise and time outdoors.
