Description

Architecture & Interior
Embedded within the period streetscape of local Victorian architecture, this sizable home has been re-framed to suit comfortable family living.

Just past the first entry door, a pocket of storage sits between two sets of windows, this then continues through to the open-plan living area which radiates a warm & inviting atmosphere, enhanced largely by the sun streaming through oversized original shop windows across beautifully preserved honey hued original wooden floor boards.

The energy of this floor has an intensely creative vibe. And open plan it maybe, but there’s also an opportunity to find a quiet corner of tranquillity if the mood takes you. Space is delineated equally across four corners of the very usable floor area. The understated matte black cabinetry of the corner placed kitchen sits below stainless-steel counter tops and with both dining and reception areas sitting adjacent to the culinary heart of the home, it provides the backdrop for a superbly social entertaining space capable of holding some sizable events. The sense of volume is amplified by lofty ceilings, while thoughtful practicalities include a full wall of storage cupboards, a secret cellar accessed via a discrete floor hatch, and a clever ceiling hatch for easy movement of furniture to the floor above. A discreet door reveals a separate utility room and a generously proportioned family bathroom.

Access to the first floor comes courtesy of an ornate, iron spiral staircase which takes a prominent position in the main reception. The period character continues to thread its way into the hallway and bedrooms which, as with the floor below, enjoy natural light that finds its way through the front racing sash windows.

The principal bedroom sat to the right of the hallway is a haven of tranquillity, its softly furnished interior pairing with rich colours which work harmoniously with the bare boarded floors that cover the first floor.

Two further bedrooms with more vintage styling are currently separated by a pair of pocket doors but could be used as one if required.

A fourth room on this floor found at the rear of the house is currently set up as a home office but could accommodate another bedroom if needed.

Adjacent to the fourth bedroom, a chic shower room is neatly tucked away.

Outside
Interior steps from the study/bedroom four encourage you up one more level to a small roof top sanctuary. Hidden amongst the roof apex, a private terrace sits enjoying its urban surroundings whilst bathing in sunlight, offering quiet contemplation over morning coffee or evening cocktails.

In the Neighbourhood
Once you step outside, you’re immediately spoilt for choice for the social side of things in this cool quarter. Flaxman Road sits equidistant and within walking distance of both the heart of Brixton and Camberwell Green. If you don't fancy the walk to Denmark Hill with its myriad cafes, the recently opened Viv’s Cafe is a stone's throw away, and it’s going down a storm with the locals; whilst a few minutes further are the iconic American Diner Johnnies and Sem's local café. Nearby, The Rising Sun and The Cambria gastro pubs are firm favourites with the owner, as well as The Camberwell Arms on the bustling Camberwell Church Street, celebrated for its serene morning coffee atmosphere and award-winning Sunday roasts. Just round the corner in Loughborough Junction is a cluster of craft beer bars, including the Supercute Brewhouse with live jazz on Saturdays.

On Coldharbour Lane en route to Brixton Road, you find excellent Mexican, Colombian, Japanese, Nigerian, Chinese restaurants, a Mama Dough pizzeria, the trendy The Laundry bistro and wine shop, and Brixton House theatre and bar. Opposite, the buzzing and vibrant Brixton Village indoor market is chock full of diverse eateries, cafes, and artisanal shops.

Other local features to note are the beautifully landscaped Ruskin Park, with its tennis courts and a fabulous new Community Sauna, and excellent grocery stores including a 24/7 Nisa, whilst the open food market at Atlantic Road offers a big choice of fishmongers and fruit and veg. Local schools include Jessop Primary School (primary), and outstanding secondary schools like Sacred Heart Catholic School, The Charter School North Dulwich, and several Harris Academies. Kings College Hospital is a short walk.
