Full Description - Keating Estates are proud to present to market a beautifully presented one double bedroom flat with an additional loft room, arranged over the top floors of a handsome Victorian conversion in the heart of Poet’s Corner. Milton Road is a quiet and residential road, equidistant to both Herne Hill and Brixton centres.

The flat has been lovingly refurbished over the past five years and benefits from being one of only two properties within the building, creating a private and peaceful atmosphere.

As you approach the property, the Victorian façade sets a welcoming tone, offering instant kerb appeal with its classic brickwork, decorative detailing, and pretty blue door. A shared front garden and a small internal communal entrance add to the charm and sense of community. Inside, a private entrance opens on the ground floor to a smart internal staircase, leading up to the first floor where the sense of space and natural light becomes immediately apparent.

At the front of the property, forming the social heart of the home, is a bright and airy reception room that spans the full width of the building. Two striking arched windows flood the space with natural light, framing attractive views and creating a distinctive period focal point. Alcoves on either side of the chimney breast are fitted with bespoke cabinetry and shelving, providing both style and practical storage. A decorative fireplace mount and hearth lend subtle character, while soft carpet underfoot enhances the warm, welcoming ambience. The proportions allow plenty of room to configure distinct living and dining areas, making this a versatile space to entertain, relax, or work from home.

Positioned just off the landing is a separate kitchen, continuing the bright and airy theme. Crisp white cabinetry offers generous storage and a clean, timeless look, complemented by work surfaces with ample preparation space. A small breakfast bar creates a casual spot for morning coffee or informal meals, while a traditional sash window allows for natural ventilation and streams of daylight. The boiler is neatly housed here too, ensuring the kitchen remains uncluttered and practical.

The bedroom is a spacious double, set to the rear of the first floor, enjoying a quiet setting and benefiting from a peaceful outlook and good levels of natural light. Adjacent is a convenient separate W/C, an especially useful feature for visiting guests and busy households alike.

Stairs lead to the upper level where an additional loft room and bathroom are privately positioned, offering excellent separation from the main living spaces. The loft room is a generous and tranquil retreat, benefiting from a Velux window overhead that draws in natural light and sky views. Built-in wardrobes line one wall, offering excellent storage without encroaching on floor space, and a tall modern radiator adds a sleek, contemporary touch to the room’s clean lines.

The bathroom is stylishly appointed, featuring a shower over the bath for both quick morning routines and leisurely soaks. A window brings in natural light and ventilation, while a contemporary basin with vanity unit provides storage and completes the room. A towel rail keeps linens warm, and clever storage in the eaves is great for hiding the lesser used items.

Milton Road forms part of the sought-after Poets’ Corner, a quiet residential pocket with a fantastic sense of community, where neighbours are friendly and helpful and each street takes it in turn to arrange the annual Poet’s Corner street party. The village-esque Herne Hill centre is just a five-minute stroll away, home to an array of independent cafes, restaurants, artisan shops, and a farmers market, adding to its welcoming feel. Herne Hill station offers speedy access to London Victoria in 10 minutes and the Thameslink service to London Blackfriars in 12 minutes, whilst Brixton tube is also within easy walking distance for the start of the Victoria Line, running 24hrs at the weekend. Just a ten-minute walk from your front door, central Brixton offers a vast array of entertainment options, from the famous Brixton Village serving culinary delights to the Ritzy Cinema and Upstairs private members club, just to name a few of the spots on offer. With Brockwell Park, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants, and Brixton all on your doorstep, there really is something to cater for all tastes. There is also a swift network of buses, running day and night to whisk you from the end of the street to other areas of London, through Dulwich into Peckham, or over to Clapham and even into the city.

Chain-free.
