An elegant early/mid-Victorian freehold house, which has been remodelled and recently redecorated by the current owners. A sizeable double reception and dining room at raised-ground level adjoins the kitchen, with access directly into the south-facing garden via an external spiral staircase. The house is arranged with four double bedrooms, one of which currently serves as an office. The guest bedroom is arranged such that it is suitable for letting, accessible via a second front door at lower ground level. The house has two bath/shower rooms, one on the lower ground floor serving the guest bedroom, and adjoining a dedicated modern utility room instated by the current owners.
The top floor of the house offers an enviable and unique roof terrace, which overlooks the wonderful garden, enjoying views to the south and west, ensuring great sunshine and views of the sunset. The overall internal space at the house measures 1471 square feet (136 square metres), and there is nearby precedent for extensions to the house at the top and bottom, subject to necessary consents. The house is situated just outside the Poets Corner conservation area, and as such is in a very favourable spot.
South London's favourite green space Brockwell Park just 9 minutes' walk away (0.4 miles). Brockwell Park incorporates a very popular Lido, a walled garden and duckponds, a children's playground and a café. Brockwell Park hosts events throughout the year and is the focus of a very strong local community.
The house is located almost equidistant between Herne Hill station and Brixton station (each is about 12 minutes' walk). The Northern line is accessible at Stockwell, which is 1 stop from Brixton. Victoria station, Elephant & Castle, Blackfriars and St Pancras are all reachable by direct train.
There is a superb selection of local bars, delis and coffee shops along Railton Road, which hosts a weekend street market at the Herne Hill end.
