Full Description

Keating Estates are proud to present to market an exceptional four bedroom, two bathroom Victorian terraced house with a beautifully landscaped private South-East facing garden, arranged over three spacious floors and nestled within the highly desirable Poets’ Corner on Milton Road, a peaceful, leafy enclave in the heart of vibrant Herne Hill.

This elegant family home seamlessly blends period charm with thoughtful modern design, creating a wonderfully balanced living environment. From the moment you enter, the quality of finish and attention to detail is immediately evident.

The ground floor hosts a beautifully appointed dual-aspect double reception room, enhanced by high ceilings with ornate cornicing, stylish engineered oak flooring, and a striking working fireplace that serves as a characterful focal point, ideal for snug winter evenings. A large bay window to the front floods the space with natural light, while bespoke shelving and cabinetry provide attractive and functional storage. This expansive room flows effortlessly into a generous dining area, ideal for hosting guests in a more formal setting.

Toward the rear of the home lies the heart of the property — a striking, architecturally designed kitchen-diner. This contemporary space is flooded with natural light via two walls of floor to ceiling glass windows and doors plus a large lightwell overhead, creating a seamless connection with the landscaped garden beyond. Crisp white cabinetry is paired with a bold red glass splashback for a sleek, modern aesthetic, while a large central island with breakfast bar seating encourages both sociable dining and culinary creativity. Integrated appliances are neatly concealed, offering clean lines and abundant storage throughout. Adjoining the kitchen is a secondary lounge area — an inviting spot to relax and be surrounded by the garden.

The private garden is a real gem — a two-tiered South-East facing oasis, expertly landscaped with Mediterranean-style planting, timber decking and built-in seating. The upper terrace features an outdoor fireplace and dining area, perfect for entertaining al fresco or enjoying tranquil moments in the sun. Mature greenery and a clever design provide privacy and visual appeal throughout the seasons.

Completing the ground floor is a discreet guest WC, ideally located between the reception and kitchen for convenience.

Arranged over the first and second floors, all four of the bedrooms are of an extremely comfortable size with a particularly impressive principal suite which spans the full width of the property. This serene retreat boasts sash windows, warm wooden flooring and bespoke fitted wardrobes flanking the characterful feature fireplace. The luxurious en-suite bathroom is beautifully finished, featuring a contemporary freestanding bathtub beneath the window, a generous walk-in rain shower, and ample built-in storage including a practical airing cupboard. A second double bedroom overlooks the garden to the rear, offering a calm and peaceful outlook. The two further bedrooms are peacefully set atop the house, each thoughtfully designed with ample storage. These rooms are served by a stylish family bathroom with a modern, neutral palette.

This outstanding home offers the rare combination of spacious proportions, tasteful design, and a prime location - Milton Road forms part of the sought-after Poets’ Corner, a quiet residential pocket with a fantastic sense of community where each street takes it in turn to arrange the annual Poet’s Corner street party. The village-esque Herne Hill centre is just a five-minute stroll away, home to an array of independent cafes, restaurants, artisan shops and a farmers market adding to its welcoming feel. Herne Hill station offers speedy access to London Victoria in 10 minutes and the Thameslink service to London Blackfriars in 12 minutes, whilst Brixton tube is also within easy walking distance for the start of the Victoria Line, running 24hrs at the weekend. Just a ten-minute walk from your front door, central Brixton offers a vast array of entertainment options from the famous Brixton Village serving culinary delights to the Ritzy Cinema and Upstairs private members club just to name a few of the spots on offer. With Brockwell Park, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants and Brixton all on your doorstep, there really is something to cater for all tastes. There is also a swift network of buses, running day and night to whisk you from the end of the street to other areas of London, through Dulwich into Peckham, or over to Clapham and even into the city.
