Full Description
Keating Estates are delighted to present to market a handsome four double bedroom, two bathroom Victorian house with a private South-facing garden, set on the highly-desirable Holmewood Gardens, a quiet residential street which surrounds a pretty garden square, bringing the community together. Offering leafy views to both the front and rear, this grand home of over 2,000 square feet combines generous proportions, original period charm and contemporary touches, perfectly arranged for family living.
Oozing kerb appeal, a smart black gate opens to a mosaic-tiled path, leading to elegant stone steps and an archway framing the front door. The entrance hallway is immediately impressive, showcasing original tiled flooring, high corniced ceilings and a picture rail guiding the eye.
A grand double reception is packed with preserved period character, including a bay window, high ceilings adorned with shadow cornicing and original wooden floorboards which flow seamlessly through both rooms creating a cohesive flow. Dividing doors allow the spaces to be enjoyed separately when desired, creating a cosy winter ambience, ideal for unwinding in front of one of the two working fireplaces. Contemporary updates include stylish iron radiators and full-height glass doors opening to the garden, ensuring this elegant lounge and dining area is as practical as it is beautiful.
To the rear, the kitchen diner is a warm and welcoming hub. Fluted wooden cabinetry provides abundant storage while maintaining a sociable layout, complemented by a second dining space with leafy garden views – the perfect spot for family meals or relaxed entertaining.
The private South-facing garden is a true suntrap, with a large paved terrace framed by mature raised beds for greenery and colour. Whether hosting al-fresco gatherings or simply soaking up the sunshine, this outdoor retreat is a joy throughout the seasons.
Arranged over the upper floors are four spacious double bedrooms, all bright and private thanks to the home’s position and leafy outlooks. The principal spans the width of the house, boasting a bay window, original fireplace and fitted wardrobes. The three further doubles are set to the rear of the home, each equally charming and also featuring original floors, fireplaces and built-in storage. Two thoughtfully designed bathrooms service the bedrooms, purposefully designed one with shower and one with bath to ensure a family friendly home. The luxurious shower room features double vanity sinks and a walk-in shower stylised in soothing neutral tones, whilst the bathroom flaunts a striking patterned floor and bathtub positioned beneath a skylight, perfect for a long soak beneath the stars.
If all this weren’t enough there is also generous storage on offer with a cellar, handy outhouse shed in the garden and loft. Precedent has also been set should the new purchaser wish to seek the necessary permissions to extend into the side return or loft in the future, building further on the already impressive proportions that this grand home has to offer.
Situated on a friendly and neighbourly road, the home overlooks the green open spaces of Holmewood Gardens. This pretty garden square is essentially a large garden you do not have to tend, with a designated area for dog exercise, a children’s playground and open grass for communal events, a leafy spot that brings local residents together. The Neighbourhood Association has planted an orchard and is actively involved in caring for the area, as well as organising many social events including summer parties, winter festivals and Halloween activities. The gardens have also played host to free concerts from the Brixton Chamber Orchestra and the 606 Jazz Club.
Nearby, there are a selection of schools including the outstanding Orchard School, along with both chain and independent shops, bakeries, cafés, chemists, doctors and a gem of a pub, the Elm Park Tavern, just a five-minute walk away. Everything that Brixton has to offer is a fifteen-minute walk from the property, from music venues and the culinary delights of Brixton Village to large-brand shops and excellent transport links, including the first stop on the Victoria Line. Regular day and night buses run up and down Brixton Hill, with nine routes whisking you to the tube within ten minutes and on into the city. In the other direction, you have Streatham High Street just a nine-minute walk away, with its multitude of restaurants and bars. Brockwell Park is a ten-minute stroll, with Tooting and Balham Common and Clapham Common also within walking distance. Having the South Circular on your doorstep and the option for on-street permit parking the location is perfect for those with a vehicle.
Freehold. Chain-free.
