    About this property

      Location

      Situated in the desirable residential neighbourhood of Poet’s Corner, the
      property occupies an attractive position between the vibrant amenities
      of Brixton and the village-like, family-friendly character of Herne Hill.
      The property benefits from excellent connectivity, with easy access to
      an extensive range of parks, schools, cafés, restaurants and everyday
      amenities.
      Herne Hill station is approximately 0.5 miles (10 mins walk) away, providing direct services to London Victoria (in 10 mins), together with
      Thameslink services to Blackfriars (in 13 mins), Farringdon (in 14 mins)
      and St Pancras International (in 22 mins)
      Brixton Underground station, approximately 0.8 miles (15 mins)
      provides fast connections across London via the Victoria line. Numerous
      bus routes are also available within a short walk.
      The surrounding area is particularly well served for residential living, with
      Brockwell Park and Brockwell Lido nearby, alongside a wide selection of
      independent cafés, bakeries, restaurants, supermarkets and gyms.
      Together with the area's strong transport links and established
      residential character, this makes the property particularly well positioned
      for the proposed residential conversion.

      Development Potential

      The property offers an exciting opportunity to create a
      substantial 4-bedroom family home, with further potential
      offered by the existing basement accommodation.
      The planning application (Ref: 26/01559/ful) proposes the
      conversion of the vacant ground floor to provide a 4-bedroom /
      7-person self-contained dwelling extending to approximately
      1,556 sq.ft. (144.5 sqm), together with private amenity space to
      the front and rear.
      The existing ground-floor accommodation benefits from
      generous ceiling heights of approximately 3.0 m, providing
      excellent volume and a strong basis for a premium residential
      conversion.
      The application has progressed to the Section 106 legal
      agreement stage, with completion of the agreement
      anticipated shortly. Full details of the application are available
      via Lambeth Council’s planning portal.
      Beyond the current application, the property also includes
      substantial basement accommodation with an existing ceiling
      height of 2.1 m, offering purchasers potential to create
      additional units subject to the necessary consents.
      Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with
      the Local Planning Authority regarding the current planning
      position and the potential for any further development
