House For Sale £2,000,000
This wonderful two/three-bedroom house, with a private courtyard garden, is brilliantly situated a short distance from the bustle of Brixton Village. Originally a chapel, the space was used as a photography studio for many years before being creatively and comprehensively restored and refurbished by the current owners. It has internal accommodation of over 2,800 sq ft based around an enormous open-plan living room with double-height vaulted ceilings.
The Tour
Natural light pours into the central space through roof lights, large sash windows and high, glazed French windows that open to a west-facing courtyard garden. At the front of the home, behind glazed double doors, is a second living room, which can be used as a third bedroom. There is also a large family bathroom with a walk-in shower, freestanding bath, and a separate utility/storeroom. Ascent to the first floor leads to the main bedroom and a separate, large dressing room.
The kitchen and dining area has slate flooring, granite worktops, and exposed brick walls with a raised, recessed fireplace. The solid soffit of a spiral staircase offers a sculptural sense of partition from the main living space and ascends to the mezzanine library and study areas, which enjoy elevated views across the void. Double doors lead from the gallery to a large bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room.
The Area
Blenheim Gardens is minutes from Brixton Village, Market Row and Acre Lane, which offer an excellent range of restaurants, bars, cafes and music venues, as well as the brilliant Ritzy Cinema. There is a superb mixture of supermarkets and independent food shops in the area. Both Herne Hill and Brixton have weekly farmers’ markets. The green open space of Brockwell Park, well known for its open-air lido, is around 10 minutes walk.
Blenheim Gardens is located off Brixton Hill, approximately 10 minutes’ walk from Brixton underground station (Victoria Line). There are also mainline train stations at Brixton and Herne Hill, as well as numerous buses into central London.
