Full Description - Keating Estates are proud to present to market this charming two double bedroom Victorian garden flat, overlooking a pretty garden square in the extremely popular residential pocket of Holmewood Gardens, a short stroll from Brixton Hill. Holmewood Gardens is a quiet residential street which surrounds a pretty garden square, bringing the community together. This lovely property is beautifully presented with a mix of characterful features and contemporary finish. Upon entering the hallway boasts original Victorian tiling to create a welcoming entrance. Overlooking Holmewood Gardens, the first of the bedrooms is currently utilised as a homely lounge, boasting high ceilings, wooden floorboards, bespoke shelving with LED under lighting and a charming bay window with shutters. Tucked away at the back of the building is a fantastic open-plan reception which was refurbished in 2020 including a new kitchen in a trendy blue hue with contrasting white wall cabinets. This attractive kitchen includes the addition of a dishwasher, induction hob and a Bosch oven, providing all you need in terms of mods cons and storage. The layout creates an ergonomic place to cook, whilst elevating the sociable vibe of space. This generous room offers a brilliant entertaining area with ample room for a large dining table, lounge area and space to work from home if desired, plus views over the private secluded garden at the rear. Re-landscaped in 2022, the low-maintenance garden boasts an attractive seating area with a faux lawn for all-year greenery, ready to be enjoyed whenever the weather permits, be it hosting BBQs or tending to pot plants. The grassy lawns of Holmewood Gardens itself essentially provides a second garden to which you don’t have to tend, ensuring you enjoy the best of both worlds. A convenient side-access into the garden is useful for outdoor hosting or those with bikes or prams. The second double bedroom is well-proportioned with original wooden floorboards and French doors to the side-return and through to the garden, allowing the summer air to breeze through the room, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a serene lie-in. Quietly separating the bedrooms, is a modern bathroom with a warm inviting feel, equipped with a bathtub plus overhead shower. This fantastic home also has the added benefit of a cellar offering additional storage solutions. A new boiler was also installed in the home just three years ago. The apartment is currently configured as a fantastic one double bedroom garden flat with nearly 750 square feet of internal living space but one of the main selling points is the flexibility the property offers as the layout could be altered depending on the new purchasers search requirements. The property could be configured as a two bedroom garden flat with the living room at the front of the building acting as a second double bedroom and an open-plan reception at the back of the building. Situated on friendly and neighbourly road, the home overlooks the green open spaces of Holmewood Gardens. This pretty garden square is essentially a large garden to which you do not have to tend, with a designated area for dog exercise, children’s playground and open grass for communal events, a leafy spot where the local residents are brought together. The Neighbourhood Association has planted an orchard, and is actively involved in ensuring care of the area, plus organising many social events including summer parties, winter festivals, Hallowe’en activities. The gardens have played host to free concerts from Brixton Chamber Orchestra and the 606 Jazz club. Very family friendly, there are two great schools on the street (Orchard Primary rated Outstanding by Ofsted and Christ Church Streatham was in top 2% of attainment nationally last year). Nearby, there are both chain and independent shops, cafes, 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 away, from music venues and the culinary delights of Brixton Village to large brand shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria Line. Regular day and night buses run up and down Brixton Hill, with nine bus routes to whisk you to the tube within a few 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. Share of freehold.
