Property description
Seeing is believing with this spectacular five bedroom Victorian dream - it's a joy at every perfectly presented step. Contemporary ingenuity and tasteful styling are married with original charm to create an effortlessly fabulous spot to hang your hat. You'll find top notch fixtures and fittings throughout the three spacious floors. The ceilings are high, the bathrooms lavish and your living space runs an almost unbelievable 15 metres front tip to toe. Elegant decor continues the charm offensive. It's a space that simply begs to host your next banquet. A neat, low maintenance patio garden supplies a space to spill onto for the New Year's Eve affair. The area is as impressive as the interior. You're within a leisurely stroll of every conceivable amenity. Clapham and Brixton are both easily reached on foot for an ocean of brilliant bars and world class eateries. Brockwell Park will help you work off the inevitable calories and transport is taken care of with the Victoria line in Brixton.
The exterior greets you with London stock brickwork, wooden detail and a proud double storey canted bay window. You're next led up the garden path to find pleasant tiling and a handsome door with frosted light overhead. Inward bound you meet a reassuringly long hall with dado rails, original cornicing and thin slat wooden flooring. The staircase boasts an original curling hardwood banister and makes way for the hall to remain wide from end to end. The seamingly unstoppable living space begins its 15 metre march on your left. The front bay window offers a wonderfully open view directly down Branksome Road. Crisp white walls and more simple wooden floors continue past your lounging area to a wide formal dining space which has its own hall access point. The kitchen is framed by a wide open arch and seduces you forth to find a breakfast bar and illuminating skylight - perfect for the morning papers. To the rear of this you find your utterly splendid composite counters sitting atop high gloss retro grey cabinets. There's a five ring gas hob, oven and a double sink and drainer on the far side. A walk in pantry supplies ample storage for your spices, jams and chutney. A wall of tri-fold doors open wide to the well stocked patio garden. It's compact but perfectly formed. Back at the rear of the hall (which is kept bright by a further huge vaulted skylight) you find a wc and utility room with butler sink and space for the washing machine.
Ascending your beautiful staircase you get your chance to sample that beautiful banister. The first huge double bedroom fronts the building taking that streetscape through the top of the canted bay window. The original cornicing and picture rails are treated to the same crisp white paintwork. Next door you meet a stunning, mostly tiled bathroom with loo, bidet, double bath, twin wash hand basin and divine walk in shower with drencher. A second sizeable double bedroom completes the first floor with a period feature fireplace. Trot upward again to find a bright upper landing separated from a split level shower room and wc by a super cool sliding opaque door. This gives the term 'throne room' a whole new relevance. A third large double faces front with another original feature fireplace and the best of the views. There's a neat double/large single room sharing this aspect. The fifth and final bedroom comes complete with a tiled Art Deco fireplace and sunny rear view.
The 137 is just around the corner and will whisk you to Sloane Square and Knightsbridge. Clapham North tube is about 12 minute walk for the Northern line or you've got the Victoria line in Brixton. You're within a pleasant amble of Abbeville Village for a slightly more laid back village vibe. Acre Lane has some handy shops and a fab Algerian restaurant, Khamsa - we recommend it highly! The Grand Union does ace cocktails and burgers (we've been known to frequent their super cool beet garden). Brixton's all a buzz of late - it's a proper social hub. The Ritzy cinema overlooks the recently re-developed Windrush Square offering a marvellous place to sit, chat and drink coffee. This is before we mention the ocean of funky bars, cafés and restaurants on offer - we love Fujiyama for some noodles and vino. Brixton's covered market supplies a seemingly endless list of world cuisine - you can dine on everything from Columbian to Vietnamese. Honest Burger is to die for - those rosemary chips are having a disastrous effect on the waistbands of Brixtonites! The White Horse really rocks out on the weekend and you've got a fab restaurant attached the Brockwell Lido. Keeping fit is no problem with Brockwell Park and Clapham Common. Sudbourne and Corpus Christi Primary Schools are a matter of seconds for a super easy morning commute. Both are highly considered All in all a real winner!
