Full Description

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this spectacularly presented two double bedroom Victorian garden flat, complete with a South-facing private garden, shared off-street parking and access to an additional sizeable residents’ garden. Set on one of Brixton’s most popular residential roads, Helix Gardens is conveniently positioned just a ten-minute stroll from the vibrant heart of Brixton, with Brockwell Park only a few minutes’ walk away.

The heart of the home is the stylish open-plan kitchen and reception room, an impressive and sociable space with parquet flooring, a feature fireplace and a bay window creating a charming focal point and ideal dining nook. Cohesive décor flows seamlessly into the sleek contemporary kitchen, where integrated appliances, wrap-around cabinetry and generous worktop space enhance the entertaining potential. French doors lead directly out to the rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Beautifully blending contemporary design with characterful period features, the property is arranged with the two bedrooms thoughtfully separated for privacy. The principal bedroom sits to the front, enjoying beautiful original wooden flooring, high ceilings and a characterful bay window overlooking the leafy front garden. Decorated in soft, calming tones, fitted wardrobes frame the feature fireplace, creating an elegant and inviting retreat. The second double bedroom overlooks the rear garden and offers fitted storage, high ceilings and flexibility to be repurposed as a home office if desired.

The bathroom is dramatically styled with striking tiling, integrated storage and an enclosed shower area, finished to an exceptionally high standard. The kitchen and bathroom, along with the boiler, were installed approximately four years ago, while new double glazing was fitted to the bay windows around two years ago.

The South-facing rear garden is a true suntrap, landscaped to create a striking yet low-maintenance retreat, with contrasting paving and black fencing providing a contemporary backdrop for entertaining or relaxing. There is also a private front garden area, plus access to a sizeable lockable residents’ garden shared with just two neighbouring flats, framed by mature hedging with a lawn and seating area, ideal for larger gatherings and summer BBQs.

Further benefits include a large cellar providing excellent storage and previously used as a practical utility room. Shared off-street parking is available on a yearly rotation with the two other flats. There is also potential to extend into the side return, subject to the necessary permissions.

Helix Gardens remains one of Brixton’s most desirable residential streets, appreciated for its quiet, community feel, with an active residents’ association and a yearly art fair held on the adjacent Josephine Avenue. Despite this peaceful setting, everyday convenience is close at hand, with a supermarket at either end of the street and the popular establishments of Brixton Hill and Effra Road within touching distance, including Stir Coffee, Ciao Brixton, Hootenanny and Naughty Piglets. The property is also within easy reach of the vibrant amenities, restaurants and transport links of Brixton, as well as the beautiful green spaces and café culture surrounding Brockwell Park. A pleasant fifteen-minute stroll across the park brings you to Herne Hill station and the many pubs, cafés and restaurants that the village-esque Herne Hill has to offer.

This characterful garden flat is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action while retaining a wonderful sense of calm. The property benefits from everything Brixton is loved for, from the celebrated cuisine in Brixton Village and POP Brixton to the music venues and nightlife the area is famous for. Transport links are excellent, with the first stop on the Victoria Line at Brixton Underground station just a ten-minute walk away. Brixton Overground and Herne Hill station are also within comfortable walking distance, and the area is well served by regular day and night buses whisking you around the neighbourhood and further afield. For those with a car, the South Circular is just a five-minute drive away.

There are few properties in the area that combine so many positive attributes – from the style, to the secluded, almost country-like feel, generous outside space, excellent storage and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer. Early registration of interest is advised.
