Clarewood Walk, Brixton

£425,000

Delightful two double bedroom ex-LA maisonette of 855 square feet, with its own front door and a sunny private balcony - which is accessed off the generous reception space and spans the width of the property.

Find your new pad within Brutalist-style Southwyck House, just a few minutes from central Brixton, and five from Brixton tube and regular stations

A bit of history: the building was designed in 1968-70 by a team of architects (including Magda Borowiecka), and built between 1972-1981. The building needed to account for the South Cross Route motorway passing adjacent to it. Although the motorway plan was scrapped in 1973, the design was kept.

There is a concierge at ground floor level, plus secure entry to the building (and within the development too). Take the lift or stairs to floor seven and your own front door. You open into a cute lobby space with a generous built-in cupboard. Head down the stairs to floor six and you’ll find your two big double bedrooms and a smart windowed bathroom with contemporary fittings and an over-bath shower. Another large built-in storage cupboard is accessed from the landing.

Down to the fifth floor and you have a downstairs/guest w.c. Next, find a beautiful big living room - of over 10 feet by nearly 17 feet. Open here to the balcony. A quiet and sunny spot, perfect for potted herbs and plants and a table and chairs.

Double doors open to a natural dining space which flows through to the modern fitted kitchen. We love the fitted bench with storage. Your large windows look out to your balcony.

What a great and connected spot! You are just a five minute walk from Brixton tube/Victoria line trains. Or walk to Loughborough Junction Station in nine minutes. There are also lots of useful bus routes on Coldharbour Lane. Brixton Village is just across the road for fabulous food - just about every cuisine you could think of.

Brixton has an excellent range of pubs, cocktail and wine bars and restaurants. These include 542 Brixton, Clover’s, The Birds Nest, Bottle + Rye, The Whisky Tumbler, Vining Street Wine Club, Naughty Piglets, Maremma, Kricket and Nine Lives. The Ritzy Cinema (and bar) is highly recommended.

Brockwell Park (with lido) and Herne Hill are close, as are Camberwell, Clapham, Stockwell and Oval.
