Kay Road, Stockwell

£750,000

Large and light three double bedroom purpose-built maisonette of 1187 square feet, with neutral decor and double-glazing throughout, its own front door, and a generous private low-maintenance garden.

The location is a pleasant residential side-street which puts you within easy reach of multiple excellent transport links. Walk to Stockwell tube in eight minutes, Clapham North in nine, and Brixton in 12 (covering Northern and Victoria lines).

You open directly into the flat - the space that welcomes you is a natural dining room (of over 15 feet by over 10 feet) while also having hall functionality - fitted hooks under the stairs are great for coats and such. You could box this area in if you preferred.

A neat ‘downstairs’ w.c. is set to your right, then you have your independent modern fitted kitchen next on the right, with space for a dishwasher, and a cute little bar - a perfect spot for tea and toast.

Off a little lobby area (with handy built-in cupboard), you have a smart bathroom (with simple white suite and space/plumbing for washer and dryer), a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes (of over 14 feet by over 8 feet), and a big reception room to the front of the building - of over 14 feet by over 11 feet.

The second floor - converted and extended from the former loft - delivers two further double bedrooms; the largest of which has built-in wardrobes and accessible eaves storage, and dormer and Velux windows. The landing area is the size of a room, with a large Velux window. It works well as a dressing space (more fitted custom-made wardrobes feature here, too, plus more access to the eaves storage).

A modern windowed wet room with heated towel radiator completes the floor and indeed the tour.

This is such a strong spot of SW London with the cool centres of Stockwell, Clapham and Brixton all a short walk from your door. For more options, Herne Hill, Camberwell, Battersea and Peckham are all easily-reached as well.

For eating out in Stockwell, we like Canton Arms, Tito's, Booma, and O Cantinho de Portugal. The Little Portugal area has top cafes as well. And bustling Brixton is bursting with fab places - Canova Hall is a nice spot for brunch/pizzas, in an old department store setting. The Ritzy Cinema and Brixton Academy are close for weekend fun. Brixton Village has a tantalising global offering of food and drink options for all tastes and budgets.

Large local green spaces include Brockwell Park, Clapham Common, and (riverside) Battersea Park.
