Full Description - Keating Estates are proud to present to market this spacious Victorian two double bedroom garden flat, complete with a South-facing private garden, allocated off-street parking and access to an additional 60-foot residents' garden, ideally located on Helix Gardens. This attractive Victorian property sits on one of Brixton’s most popular residential roads, set back behind leafy front gardens and just a ten-minute stroll from the vibrant heart of Brixton, with the green open spaces of Brockwell Park only a few minutes’ walk away.

Offering over 800 square feet of internal living space, the flat is a beautiful blend of contemporary design and characterful period features. Highlights include exposed brickwork in the reception room and striking original Victorian tiling in the hallway, creating a home full of charm while still perfectly suited to modern living. The property further benefits from new double glazing throughout, with heritage timber window frames at the front and modern Crittall-style doors to the rear, complemented by underfloor heating which ensures the home remains warm and energy efficient despite its Victorian origins.

The heart of the property is the impressive open-plan kitchen and reception room, a fantastic entertaining space with ample room to relax and dine. The contemporary kitchen offers generous storage within gloss-fronted cabinetry and plenty of wooden worktop space, positioned beneath skylights with an additional window overlooking the garden. The living and dining area sits in front of striking Crittall doors which open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, whilst allowing lovely natural light and views of greenery to flood the space.

The South-facing private garden is a true suntrap and a peaceful retreat, ideal for entertaining or relaxing during the warmer months. The garden has been thoughtfully improved with repaving and new fencing, creating an attractive and low-maintenance outdoor space perfect for hosting. To the front of the property there is also access to a beautifully maintained 60-foot shared garden, shared with just two neighbouring flats in the building. Framed by mature hedging with a paved seating area and lawn, this charming lockable garden offers a wonderful second outdoor space in which to unwind, host BBQs or host larger groups for BBQs.

Back inside, the property comprises two comfortable double bedrooms, thoughtfully positioned for privacy and both benefiting from high ceilings, lovely natural light and pleasant views of surrounding trees and gardens. The principal bedroom sits at the front of the building overlooking the leafy gardens, complete with a bright bay window and built-in storage. The second bedroom is also a generous size, large enough to comfortably accommodate a lodger if desired, and benefits from French doors to a courtyard which allow natural light to pour into the room. The bedrooms share a stylish bathroom, recently renovated to include a brand new bath and shower alongside a built-in sink set within a charming vintage vanity unit.

Additional selling points include a huge amount of storage space, with ceiling storage accessed from the hallway and a large cellar providing fantastic additional storage solutions whilst also doubling as a practical utility area with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The property has also been upgraded with high-quality timber internal doors throughout, enhancing the overall finish, plus the rare benefit of an allocated off-street parking space.

Helix Gardens remains one of Brixton’s most desirable residential streets, appreciated for its quiet, community feel, with an active residents’ association and a yearly art fair held on the adjacent Josephine Avenue. Despite this peaceful setting, everyday convenience is close at hand, with a supermarket at either end of the street and the popular establishments of Brixton Hill and Effra Road within touching distance, including Stir Coffee, Ciao Brixton, Hootenanny and Naughty Piglets. The property is also within easy reach of the vibrant amenities, restaurants and transport links of Brixton, as well as the beautiful green spaces and café culture surrounding Brockwell Park. A pleasant fifteen-minute stroll across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafés and restaurants that the village-esque Herne Hill has to offer.

This characterful garden flat is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action while retaining a wonderful sense of calm. The property benefits from everything Brixton is loved for, from the celebrated cuisine in Brixton Village and POP Brixton to the music venues and nightlife the area is famous for. Transport links are excellent, with the first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton Underground station just a ten-minute walk away. Brixton Overground and Herne Hill station are also within comfortable walking distance, and the area is well served by regular day and night buses whisking you around the neighbourhood and further afield. For those with a car, the South Circular is just a five-minute drive away.

There are few properties in the area that combine so many positive attributes – from the style and size, to the secluded, almost country-like feel, generous outside space, excellent storage and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer. Early registration of interest is advised.
