Full Description
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this fantastic, spacious two-bedroom maisonette with a private garden and its own entrance, set on the ground floor of an attractive end-of-terrace Edwardian property on Dumbarton Road.
Dumbarton Road is a popular residential street, now a permanent Low Traffic Neighbourhood, making it an exceptionally quiet and safe road. With no turn onto the street from Brixton Hill, it is not used as a cut-through. There is also a friendly community on the road, including a residents' WhatsApp group, making this a particularly pleasant place to live within a desirable residential pocket between Brixton and Clapham.
Occupying the ground floor of an attractive Edwardian building, this charming maisonette enjoys an elegant period façade, beautifully combining warm red brick detailing, characterful bay windows and a handsome gabled frontage. Set behind a traditional fence and gate, the property offers an inviting approach with excellent kerb appeal.
This lovely maisonette instantly feels like home from the moment you step through the private entrance. Beautiful exposed floorboards flow throughout much of the property, creating a wonderful sense of continuity.
Positioned at the front of the home, the generous reception room is a wonderfully inviting space, centred around a charming wood-burning stove set within the chimney breast, creating the perfect focal point for cosy evenings. A large bay window fitted with stylish plantation shutters floods the room with natural light while maintaining privacy, and bespoke shelving within the alcoves provides both attractive display space and practical storage. The generous proportions allow ample room for comfortable seating as well as entertaining family and friends, making this a superb everyday living area.
To the rear, the impressive dine-in kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a contemporary white gloss L-shaped arrangement, complemented by beautiful solid wood worktops that add warmth and character. Integrated appliances ensure a sleek finish, while the dual-aspect layout allows natural light to pour in throughout the day, including through a window perfectly positioned above the sink overlooking the garden. There is excellent space for a dining table, making this an ideal room for everything from relaxed breakfasts to dinner parties, with direct access outside seamlessly extending the entertaining space during the warmer months.
The private rear garden is a true extension of the home and has been beautifully maintained to create a peaceful outdoor retreat. A spacious paved terrace provides the ideal setting for al fresco dining, summer barbecues or simply enjoying a morning coffee, while mature planting and established greenery offer both privacy and a tranquil backdrop. Enclosed by contemporary timber fencing, the garden is wonderfully secluded and benefits from a timber shed providing excellent storage, alongside a dedicated log store for the wood burner inside. Low-maintenance by design, this is a garden that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
The principal bedroom is peacefully positioned overlooking the garden, creating a wonderfully calm atmosphere. Bright and airy, the room enjoys leafy views and features an attractive chimney breast with hearth. Built-in shelving within one of the alcoves provides useful storage and display space, while the generous proportions comfortably accommodate a large bed and accompanying furniture.
The second bedroom is equally versatile and would make an excellent guest bedroom, nursery or dedicated home office.
The contemporary bathroom features stylish grey wall tiles, with contrasting white floor tiles and a spacious walk-in rainfall shower with frameless glass screen. Further features include a vanity unit with integrated basin, wall-mounted mirror, WC, with a window providing natural light and ventilation.
The property further benefits from all sash windows having been replaced with high-quality double-glazed timber sash windows in 2022, significantly improving both energy efficiency and acoustic insulation while remaining entirely in keeping with the character of the building.
This beautifully presented maisonette will appeal to a wide range of purchasers, who will enjoy everything Brixton has to offer, from the celebrated cuisine of Brixton Village to the renowned music venues and vibrant nightlife the area is famous for.
There are local amenities within a two-minute walk, alongside an excellent selection of pubs, bars, restaurants and supermarkets on Brixton Hill and Effra Road. The Green Flag-awarded Brockwell Park, with its rolling greenery, iconic 1930s Lido and excellent sports facilities, is approximately a sixteen-minute walk away. Central Brixton can be reached in around twenty-five minutes on foot, while a bus stop is located within a stone's throw of the property. Numerous buses run throughout the day and night, taking just a few minutes down Brixton Hill to Brixton Underground station on the Victoria Line, and beyond.
Abbeville Village is a similar distance in the opposite direction, with Clapham High Street just a short walk further, offering excellent transport links via the Northern Line, Clapham High Street Overground station and numerous bus routes serving other areas of London. Venn Street, with its multitude of restaurants and bars, together with the green open spaces of Clapham Common, are all within walking distance, while Abbeville Village itself boasts a plethora of charming independent boutiques, cafés and restaurants.
Chain-free.
