Full Description
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this spacious and energy-efficient four bedroom, two bathroom contemporary house with a private South-West facing garden and a private off-street parking space, nestled on the neighbourly Craster Road in Brixton.
This handsome modern property is set within a quiet residential street and benefits from outstanding energy efficiency, with low energy costs year-round thanks to its modern construction, insulation, and position, being flanked by neighbouring homes. A newly installed boiler further enhances the home’s eco credentials, while a private off-road parking space, discreetly positioned to the side of the house, adds day-to-day convenience.
Upon entering, the home immediately impresses with a welcoming hallway complete with a cloakroom and a convenient downstairs WC, perfect for guests. The ground floor has been thoughtfully reconfigured to create a bright and sociable open-plan layout. The contemporary kitchen is finished to a high standard, with sleek white cabinetry, wrapping around in an ergonomic horseshoe to provide generous granite worktop space. A truly lovely space in which to cook, enhanced by a wine fridge, stylish open shelving and subway tiles. Modern timber flooring flows seamlessly into the generous reception and dining area, where bespoke built-in cabinetry provides elegant storage and a media unit, making this an ideal spot for relaxing or entertaining. French doors allow fresh air to breeze through the room, leading out to the landscaped garden.
The South-West facing garden is a true suntrap and a standout feature of the home. Redesigned to form two practical and stylish levels, it offers a choice of areas for al fresco dining, soaking up the sun and entertaining. With a combination of attractive paving, outdoor lighting, and rear access, this private outdoor space is a peaceful retreat with excellent usability throughout the seasons.
Arranged over the upper floors are four bedrooms, with the top floor dedicated to a sumptuous principal suite, boasting plush carpets, characterful ceilings, generous fitted wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite shower room, thoughtfully added by the current owners. This tranquil space offers privacy and comfort, making it a perfect sanctuary at the top of the house.
On the first floor, the substantial second bedroom spans the full width of the home, bathed in natural light from two windows dressed with chic plantation shutters. Fitted wardrobes offer excellent storage, making this a luxurious guest room or alternative principal. Two further bedrooms overlook the garden at the rear – one currently serving as a delightful nursery, easily convertible into a double bedroom, and the other arranged as a well-appointed home office, comfortably accommodating two workstations. A stylishly renovated family bathroom separates the double bedrooms, allowing privacy and convenience, equipped with a bathtub with overhead rain shower, a striking Crittall-style screen and complimented by grey panelling.
Throughout the home, storage is exceptional, with large built-in cupboards in every room, allowing for a clutter-free lifestyle.
Craster Road enjoys a lovely quiet setting, with this part of the road being particularly peaceful with minimal flow of traffic and a neighbourly feel. Purchasers have the popular establishments on Brixton Hill within touching distance, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Pizza Brixton and the ever-popular White Horse Pub, as well as neighbourhood favourite, the Elm Park Tavern, just up the road and incredible chocolate-almond croissants served at Le Dailycorner Café just around the corner. This location is great for anyone who wants to be close to the action yet wants to retain a sense of calm with cafes and local shops. Situated a twenty-minute stroll to the culinary and nightlife mecca of Brixton, and ten minutes to the green open spaces of Brockwell Park with its iconic 1930’s Lido and unrivalled sports facilities. A fifteen-minute walk across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafes and restaurants of Herne Hill.
The first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station is a short stroll down the hill and multiple day and night buses run up and down Brixton Hill, whisking you down to the tube within a few minutes and through into central London. Tulse Hill and Streatham Hill stations are also a twenty-minute walk, or swift ride on regular buses, with trains into Clapham Junction, Victoria and London Bridge. The buses offer a great alternative to the tube and train stations for commuters into central London, with buses coming and going every other minute. With Brockwell Park, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants and Brixton Village all nearby, there really is something to cater for everyone.
A beautifully presented, spacious and versatile home in a fantastic location and off-street parking.
