Full Description

Keating Estates are delighted to present to the market this charming and stylish one-bedroom Victorian apartment, arranged over the upper floors of an attractive period building with access to a shared front garden. It is ideally located on the sought-after Hinton Road, within the desirable Ruskin community, a peaceful pocket celebrated for its village-like atmosphere and friendly neighbourhood feel.

The property is accessed via a private entrance on the first floor, where an internal staircase leads up to the top floor. Once inside, the home is arranged across thoughtfully staggered levels, creating a sense of flow and separation that feels both characterful and practical. The central landing offers a versatile nook, ideal for a console table, reading corner or a work-from-home setup, and provides access to the loft hatch via a pull-down ladder.

The loft space is a standout feature and is large in size. Currently used for storage, it offers impressive potential for future extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions, making this an exciting long-term prospect for buyers seeking scope to add value.

The heart of the home is the beautifully presented reception room, positioned at the front and spanning the full width of the building. Two sash windows flood the space with natural light and offer far-reaching views of the city. The room is enhanced by sleek wooden flooring, thoughtfully installed by the current owner including thermal and sound insulation, ensuring both comfort and quality. Built-in shelving within the alcove adds practicality, making this an inviting and versatile living space for relaxing or entertaining.

Adjacent is the bedroom, which is peacefully set to the rear of the property. This generous double room enjoys a tranquil outlook, soft carpet underfoot and neutral décor, creating a calm and restful retreat.

A short flight of stairs leads to the dine-in kitchen, complete with cream gloss cabinetry arranged in an L-shape and complemented by dark contrasting worktops and a classic subway-tiled splashback. The kitchen benefits from a double aspect, with a sash window above the sink and an additional window overlooking greenery, creating a bright and uplifting space. There is also plenty of room for full-size appliances, with ample space for a dining table, ideal for both everyday meals and hosting friends.

The bathroom is well-appointed and thoughtfully designed, featuring a shower cubicle, vanity unit and heated towel rail. A small window provides natural light and excellent ventilation.

This lovely home further benefits from a shared front garden, providing an inviting green space and offering the opportunity for gardening enthusiasts to add their personal touch.

Ideally located close to Herne Hill and minutes from the increasingly popular Loughborough Junction, and just a stone’s throw from Ruskin Park, the Ruskin community is a close-knit, village-like pocket of residential streets with a welcoming and homely feel. There is a community WhatsApp group and regular social activities, including weekly tennis and yoga lessons. The recent addition of community saunas in Ruskin Park further enhances the area’s strong sense of wellbeing and community spirit. With multiple schools, Ruskin and Brockwell Parks, Herne Hill’s pubs and restaurants, plus Brixton and Dulwich all on your doorstep, there is something to cater for all potential purchasers.

There are excellent transport links to the city within walking distance, with access to Thameslink services (Loughborough Junction and Herne Hill), Windrush Overground line and Southeastern trains (Denmark Hill) and the Underground (start of the Victoria Line at Brixton). This is an impressive home in a lovely area, with local shops and the Coldharbour Blue independent cinema on the doorstep, close to Herne Hill and Brixton town centres but far enough away to retain a sleepy, neighbourhood feel.
