House For Sale £785,000
This excellent two-bedroom house in Brixton has been the subject of a full redesign by architects nomad Workhouse, who have introduced bespoke oak joinery throughout to create a warm and inviting setting. Natural light floods the space through glazed doors, which slide open to reveal an east-facing paved garden at the rear of the plan.
The Building
Ramilles Close is positioned within Blenheim Gardens Estate, voted one of the top ten housing estates in Britain by The Guardian in 2013. Positioned around a 19th century windmill (which was a working mill until 1934) the estate comprises a mixture of low-rise terraced houses and flats, all with private courtyards.
The Tour
Ramilles Close is set amongst quiet pedestrian walkways with no through access. Entrance is through an corten steel gate, which opens to a south-facing courtyard with immaculate planters, fold-down seating and impeccably designed storage cupboards with ventilation and heating.
A glazed door leads to a large lobby area, which flows into a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with a secluded paved garden at the rear. Light pours in through the floor-to-ceiling glazed doors that slide open to reveal a wonderfully open space and create a seamless transition from inside to outside.
At the front of the plan is an understated contemporary kitchen with minimal grey cabinetry. The architects have added a warm oak worksurface, which seamlessly dips down to form a dining table. The living area includes a floating entertainment cupboard, where a sliding door covers the television and any associated cabling. There is box-mounted shelving throughout and large ceramic tiles underfoot with underfloor heating. There is also a WC on this floor.
A cantilevered staircase leads to two large double bedrooms and a sizeable storage cupboard with plumbing capabilities. The main bedroom is positioned at the front of the plan and has a walk-in dressing room with bespoke oak carpentry. There is an adjacent en suite bathroom with a skylight above the shower, allowing plenty of natural light in. The second bedroom, which is currently used as a study, has plenty of integrated storage and a built-in desk. There are oak floorboards underfoot throughout the floor.
Outdoor Space
Through sliding glazed doors lies a private walled garden, home to an olive tree and with sympathetically planted borders. The immaculate space has been paved with tiles similar to those in the living area, creating a seamless sense of flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. There is also a gate for rear access.
The Area
Ramilles Close is a quiet estate a short walk from Brixton, a lively area known for its excellent food and bar scene. Nearby Brixton Village, Market Row and Acre Lane are all highly recommended destinations. The Ritzy Cinema, Electric Brixton and Brixton O2 Academy are much-loved institutions. Newly opened is The Department Store, a grand renovated 1876 Bon Marche building that now houses collaborative workspaces, a Pure Vinyl record shop, a community Post Office and Canova Hall restaurant and bar.
The green spaces of Rush Common and Brockwell Park are close by. Brockwell Park is one of London’s best and has a cafe, tennis courts and a walled garden. Each summer it is host to the Lambeth Country Show, as well as an array of music festivals.
There are a variety of transport connections within easy reach. Buses run across the city from Brixton Hill, while the Victoria Line at Brixton Underground offers speedy connections to central London.
