Full Description

Keating Estates are delighted to present this exceptional three double-bedroom home with a private garden, offering nearly 1,300 square feet of beautifully arranged accommodation across four levels, set within the highly sought-after Josephine Avenue Conservation Area on Helix Gardens. A rare combination of substantial proportions, period character, exceptional outside space and a wonderfully secluded setting, this is a truly special London home.

The property was comprehensively renovated in 2018, with the project professionally designed and managed by Studio Atara. The result is a thoughtfully considered home in which every space has been designed to maximise both functionality and flow. The generous double-aspect reception and kitchen forms the heart of the home, stretching across the full width of the building with high ceilings, original-style features, oak floorboards, two period fireplaces, bespoke shelving and a Juliet balcony. A large square bay boasts a window seat and provides a beautiful outlook across the established private front garden.

In 2025, the sash windows and Juliet balcony doors were replaced with double glazing, retaining the character of the property while significantly improving insulation, comfort and performance.

The three double bedrooms are arranged across separate levels, offering excellent proportions and a good degree of privacy. Two beautifully finished bathrooms (one an en-suite) are complemented by a separate WC, while the generous landings add a wonderful sense of space and provide useful flexibility throughout the home, including a study area on the upper floor.

Outside, the large private front garden is another fantastic highlight. Secure, established and lovingly maintained, it features attractive flower beds, a turfed rear section and a decked seating area. With the property set well back from the street, overlooking greenery and positioned within a low-traffic neighbourhood, the overall atmosphere is remarkably peaceful and tranquil.

Helix Gardens remains one of Brixton’s most desirable residential streets, forming part of the Josephine Avenue Conservation Area and offering a peaceful, leafy and community-minded setting, with handsome period architecture, an active residents’ association and a yearly art fair on the adjacent Josephine Avenue. Despite the tranquillity, everyday convenience is close at hand, with a supermarket at either end of the road and the cafés, pubs, bars and restaurants of Brixton Hill and Effra Road just a five-minute walk away, including Stir Coffee, Ciao Brixton, Hootenanny and Naughty Piglets.

Brockwell Park is within easy reach, offering beautiful open space, walks and a popular café culture, while a pleasant fifteen-minute stroll across the park leads to Herne Hill station and its village-like collection of pubs, cafés and restaurants. Brixton’s celebrated food scene, including Brixton Village and POP Brixton, alongside its renowned music venues and nightlife, is also close by. Transport links are excellent, with Brixton Underground Station and the Victoria Line approximately ten minutes’ walk away, while Brixton Overground, Herne Hill station and regular day and night bus services provide further connections across London.
