A stunning, newly refurbished garden flat in a handsome period building on a sought-after and quiet residential road in Herne Hill. Boasting a lux finish, a private entrance, a sizeable open-plan kitchen living room, a share of freehold, a cellar, and a west-facing garden, this beautiful home ticks a lot of boxes!

This beautifully styled flat has generous floor space that is incredibly well arranged. There is little to no wasted space, and as it has underfloor heating throughout, you are at liberty to place furniture wherever you want without the restrictions radiators bring. There is great volume in each room due to the ceiling height. It’s also fantastically bright, as it sits on an east-to-west axis, so it gets the sun in both halves of the day.

The flat has a private entrance at the side of the building, which is a nice feature to have, you can also access the garden via the side of the building, both are notable features for anyone who might want to keep a dog, especially considering Brockwell Park is a stone’s throw away, or for someone who has bikes.

To the front of the flat is the living area, which is perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing; it’s a very social room, owing to its open plan layout. There’s lots of space, certainly enough to have a large, defined dining area and a sizeable lounge space. There are high ceilings and a period fireplace, it’s worth noting that while the flat is newly refurbished and distinctly modern, it isn’t devoid of character, and the blend of period features and modern finishes has been well executed. There’s a beautiful large bay window which has an eastern aspect, giving it fantastic light in the first half of the day.

The kitchen is open-plan and well-finished, the worktops flow in an S shape, creating swathes of prep space, the flush cabinetry and grey tones create an attractive sleek kitchen that is very much on-trend. There are Neff appliances, which are integrated and there is plentiful storage, making this a very practical kitchen, as well as an attractive one.

Moving along the hall, there’s a convenient and rather large amount of integrated storage (and if further storage were needed, you also have a sizeable cellar). The second bedroom is adjacent to the reception space, which is a very generously sized second bedroom. It has a really good footprint and would make a great guest room or a beautiful work-from-home space. It has large French doors leading into the garden, which is a nice characterful touch.

The principal bedroom is at the rear, and it is a truly stunning room. It has a large bay window, which is an unusual feature to have at the rear of a building; it really helps illuminate the room and adds a bit more space. There’s a touch of texture with the exposed brickwork in the fireplace and clean, modern lines elsewhere, creating a really gorgeous room.

There are French doors in that beautiful bay window leading onto your private garden, which has a western aspect, so it gets the afternoon to evening sun, which is ideal for a garden. There’s a raised lawn, which is manageable for even the busiest of people, and a low-maintenance patio directly off the flat. The garden can be accessed without coming through the bedroom via the side of the house, which is ideal if you have mucky bikes or dogs, and the side return on the opposite side will provide useful storage and a place for bikes.

The bathroom is a special space; there’s a freestanding modern bath and an integrated rain shower next to it, with seamlessly integrated drainage for the shower built into the floor, giving it luxury hotel wet-room vibes! There’s underfloor heating to keep it snug and also ensure it dries off quickly, keeping it looking fresh and clean.

Tenure-wise, the flat has a share of freehold, and as such, there is no ground rent, the co-freeholders have elected not to have a service charge and instead deal with maintenance on an ad-hoc basis. There is an accompanying lease with 956 years remaining.

Location-wise, the spot is blessed with access to several green spaces and sports facilities, as well as a fab train link for those needing to commute. The local scene is revered for its excellent pubs, indie shops, and restaurants. Brixton, Clapham, and Streatham are also within striking distance, and access to Battersea, Chelsea, and Kensington is also super easy.

Brockwell Park is 0.4 mi away, or a ten min walk (according to Google Maps) and offers 125 acres of open space (and a lido!) hosting everything from junior football clubs, exercise clubs and of course, its music festivals, with all tastes catered for from Jazz to Drum & Bass, Reggae, Pop, Soul & the best in electronic music, the heritage of the local community and its history is rightfully represented in its music events, but it’s not all aimed at adults; the park hosts “Brockwell Bounce” which is London’s biggest free festival for children too.

The infamous velodrome is also nearby, a brilliant cycling venue that’s incredibly inclusive, you don’t have to turn up on a £20k carbon bike to have fun here and it caters for all ages and abilities, from age 2 upwards. There’s also the Dulwich Sports Club which is literally a stone’s throw away, although new memberships have been paused to retain a quality service, as a local you’ll eventually find your way in.  

Dulwich Road offers a nice variety of small eateries and pubs, the most celebrated being the Prince Regent & The Florence. Follow Dulwich Road west and you’re met with South London’s most eclectic range of restaurants in Brixton.

For commuting and nights out in the town, Tulse Hill Station is 0.2 mi away (or a five min walk), which gives you access to London Bridge, Blackfriars, or Crystal Palace & Beckenham in the opposite direction.

Herne Hill Station is less than a mile away where you can hop on a train into Victoria, which is only two stops (or ten mins) away.
