Full Description

Keating Estates are delighted to present this pristine four bedroom extended home with two bathrooms, a WC, and a beautifully South-facing landscaped garden. This Victorian house sits on sought-after Margate Road, a tree-lined street perfectly positioned between the amenities of Clapham and Brixton. The location offers the best of both neighbourhoods, with local shops and cafés on the doorstep and Outstanding and Good schools nearby.

The property was thoughtfully extended and fully renovated to an exceptional architectural standard in 2022, including a loft conversion. Works consisted of a complete electrical reinstallation, new central heating and plumbing, integrated WiFi boosters on each level, and brand-new double-glazed timber sash windows.

Set behind a charming low-walled front garden with black railings and a tiled path, the home exudes kerb appeal. An inviting front door with brass fittings opens into a grand hallway where original Victorian tiled flooring is paired with a runner carpet up the staircase.

At the front of the property, the elegant double reception room is flooded with natural light. Sleek oak-engineered flooring runs throughout, while a wood-burner with a limestone surround provides a striking focal point. The adjoining formal dining area includes bespoke storage and shelving, with a stylish chimney breast and integrated log store offering an ideal entertaining space. A floor-to-ceiling window enhances the room’s brightness.

To the rear, the showstopping kitchen combines bespoke bamboo units and an island with contrasting white Fenix cabinetry, topped with Portuguese marble terrazzo worktops. Premium appliances include a Smeg oven and dishwasher, an AEG dual-fuel hob and integrated extractor. Underfloor heating lies beneath oak-engineered flooring, and French doors open seamlessly onto the garden. Floating bamboo shelving with LED lighting adds warmth, while a window above the sink frames leafy views.

The landscaped rear garden is a tranquil oasis designed for year-round enjoyment, with minimal maintenance. A paved seating area is bordered by raised beds, slatted fencing and brick walls that create a beautiful backdrop for greenery. Perfect for barbecues and al fresco dining, the space also features ambient outdoor lighting and a discreet irrigation system to keep planting lush.

Upstairs, the spacious principal bedroom spans the full width of the home, with three sash windows allowing an abundance of natural light. Bespoke built-in wardrobes provide excellent storage. The en-suite bathroom pairs neutral tiling with sophisticated grey walls and features a walk-in frameless shower with brass fixtures and built-in cabinetry. Sisal carpets add warmth and texture throughout the upper floors.

The second bedroom enjoys double-aspect garden views and includes built-in wardrobes. Between the two bedrooms sits the family bathroom, finished with neutral tiles, matt-black fixtures, a shower-over-bath, and a window for natural ventilation.

The cleverly designed loft conversion creates two further bedrooms, a charming child’s room with two Velux windows and built-in storage, and a bright home office with a built-in desk and a characterful beamed ceiling. Between them is a sleek WC with natural rubber flooring for a clean, contemporary look.

Margate Road is a peaceful, tree-lined residential pocket prized for its character and proximity to both Brixton and Clapham. The bars and restaurants of Acre Lane, now one of the area's most popular destinations, are just a five-minute stroll away, including local favourites Cayena Coffee Roasters, Knife, The Hope & Anchor, and the Instagram-loved Aries Bakehouse, with Tesco, Lidl and Sainsbury’s also close at hand.

Brixton’s vibrant offerings lie within an 11-minute walk, including music venues, The Upstairs private members’ club, Brixton Village, extensive shopping and excellent transport links. Equidistant is Clapham High Street with its nightlife, shops and eateries, plus Northern Line connections at Clapham North, Clapham Common and Clapham South. Brixton’s Victoria Line provides fast links across London and runs 24 hours at weekends.

Green spaces are plentiful, with Brockwell Park and Clapham Common both within easy reach, offering scenic walks, tennis courts and cafés. Nearby Abbeville Village provides a charming selection of independent boutiques and eateries. Families will appreciate the excellent choice of Outstanding and Good schools in the vicinity.
