Set over the first and second floors of a handsome Victorian building, this beautifully furnished split-level home combines generous proportions with a warm, eclectic charm. With over 1,150 sq ft of internal space, the property offers two double bedrooms, a separate study, a large reception room with a bay window, a spacious dine-in kitchen, and a contemporary bathroom. Located just a short stroll from Brixton and Tulse Hill, this home is ideally placed for enjoying the area's transport links, green spaces, and thriving independent food and arts scenes. This home is available from the 3rd of September.
The expansive reception room is rich with character and natural light, featuring a large bay window with a built-in bench overlooking the quiet street. High ceilings, ornate ceiling rose detailing, and vibrant decor create an inviting and stylish space for entertaining or relaxing. Alcove shelving and a dark feature fireplace wall add depth and balance to the room's layout.
Positioned to the rear with leafy views, the kitchen is fitted with modern cabinetry in contrasting tones, sleek brass handles, and integrated appliances including a washing machine. A dining area comfortably fits a table and chairs beneath pendant lighting, while patterned floor tiles add visual interest and personality to this sociable and functional space.
Occupying the upper floor, the principal bedroom has a calming feel with soft peach walls, warm wooden floors, and sloped ceilings. Full-height fitted wardrobes line one wall, providing ample storage, while a large sash window frames open sky and treetop views.
Situated on the first floor, the second bedroom is a bright and adaptable room with built-in storage, a sash window, and space for a double bed or bunk arrangement. Its layout makes it well-suited as a guest room, child's bedroom, or creative workspace.
The separate study sits on the top floor beside the principal bedroom and offers a dedicated workspace or reading nook. With natural light from a large window and space for shelving and a desk, it provides an ideal home office set-up, away from the main living areas.
The bathroom features a full-sized bath with an overhead shower, WC, and pedestal sink, all set against soft, earthy tones. A frosted window brings in light while maintaining privacy, and wall-mounted storage ensures practicality.
The property is a short walk from the ever-popular Brockwell Park, with its rolling lawns, lido, walled garden, and panoramic city views. For a more local escape, Holmewood Gardens and Hillside Gardens Park offer peaceful, landscaped alternatives within easy reach.
Brixton's bustling town centre is within walking distance, offering a wealth of shops, restaurants, and cultural venues including the Ritzy Cinema, Brixton Village Market, and the O2 Academy. Nearby Tulse Hill and Herne Hill also provide local cafés, pubs, and independent retailers. Local schools, supermarkets, and health services are all easily accessible.
Maplestead Road is well located for commuters. Brixton Underground (Victoria Line) and Tulse Hill station (National Rail to London Bridge and Blackfriars) are both accessible by foot or bus. Multiple bus routes serve the area, linking to central London and beyond, while Herne Hill and Streatham Hill stations are also within reach.
