Full Description

Keating Estates are proud to present to market an appealing and versatile three double bedroom flat of almost 850 square feet, arranged over multiple floors of a period property. In the heart of Poet’s Corner, the home is positioned on Shakespeare Road, a short stroll from both Herne Hill and Brixton, with Brockwell Park at the top of the street.

Neutrally presented throughout, this appealing home offers an exciting opportunity for the next owner to add their own decorative stamp, while enjoying generous proportions and versatile spaces that adapt perfectly to modern living.
Occupying the first floor, the open-plan reception and kitchen forms the heart of the home - a bright and airy space featuring two large sash windows that bathe the room in natural light. Contemporary grey-toned flooring complements the neutral décor, creating a calm atmosphere. The kitchen is arranged neatly along one wall, fitted with sleek cabinetry in warm wooden tones and offering ample storage and workspace. There is plenty of room to lounge and dine, making this a welcoming hub for both entertaining and everyday living.

All three bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each providing space for desks or dressing tables in addition to the traditional bedroom furnishings. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, set on the top floor, spanning the width of the property and boasting proportions akin to the reception room below - an impressive and peaceful retreat with views over the surrounding rooftops. The further two doubles are arranged on separate floors to the rear, each benefitting from leafy outlooks, creating a sense of calm and privacy ideal for guests, family, or flexible use. Should all three bedrooms not be required, one could easily be reimagined as a second reception room or dedicated home office. There is also potential, subject to the necessary permissions, to combine the first floor bedroom with the reception room to create one vastly expansive open-plan living area if desired.

The bathroom is well-proportioned and practical, large enough to double as a utility space with an airing cupboard and fitted with a bathtub and overhead shower set beneath a generous window, ensuring natural light and ventilation.

Poets’ Corner is a highly desirable enclave of Herne Hill, known for its peaceful streets and picturesque period homes, where the residents gather together for an annual street party with each road taking turns to organise this wholesome event. Shakespeare Road itself sits right in the heart of this neighbourly pocket with the green open spaces of Brockwell Park just a short stroll away at the end of the street, perfect for weekend picnics, scenic walks or a dip in the lido.

The village-esq Herne Hill centre is just a six-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 nine-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.
