Big and beautiful five bedroom Victorian house with a sunny south-west facing garden. Find it on a peaceful tree-lined residential street within Rush Common and Brixton Hill Conservation Area, pleasingly close to Brixton tube and Brockwell Park and Lido (walk just seven minutes to each). Permit-parking is on-street.

Local schools are well regarded and include Elm Court, Sudbourne and Corpus Christi primaries.

The handsome house has been sensitively extended and renovated by the current owners, and many delightful period features have been retained, such as ceiling roses and ornate cornice detail. You are in for a treat!

Open the front door and you are welcomed with gorgeous original tiles to the floor. Your large formal adjoining reception rooms rest to your left, with original floor boards underfoot. The front reception has a big bay window and a wood burner. Custom-made alcove shelving further impresses.

Access the main room from the second reception or via the hall (where there is a neat downstairs w.c.) - a massive and double-aspect kitchen/dining room of over 20 feet by over 16 feet, with a smart fitted kitchen inclusive of an island (by West & Reid) and a poured concrete floor. Underfloor heating features here. Large glazed doors deliver you to the pro-landscaped and low-maintenance garden.

Up the stairs and from the half-landing you have the property’s main bathroom set to your left. This has modern white sanitary ware and a frosted sash window. Next door is a double bedroom, of over 10 feet each way.

From the main landing, you have another double bedroom to your right (of 12 feet by over 10 feet), then a huge carpeted master bedroom taking the width of the building (of over 16 feet by over 14 feet), with built-in closets and another bay window.

Up the stairs again and you’ll find a roomy double (of over 15 feet by over 10 feet) and a modern shower room.

Finally, you have a large and notably bright bedroom at the top of the house, with lots of accessible eaves storage.

What's around? You couldn’t wish for a lovelier local park - Brockwell Park is over 125 acres, with ornamental ponds, formal flower beds, a walled ‘Old English’ herbaceous flower garden, lido, cafe, and annual weekend-long Country Show which attracts thousands of visitors

Stir coffee shop is very local. and sells scrumptious sarnies. The Elm Park Tavern is a great neighbourhood pub, and top local restaurants include Naughty Piglets on Brixton Water Lane and Negril on Brixton Hill.

Brixton has so much going for it - like The Ritzy Cinema and Brixton Academy. Herne Hill is really close too, with a wonderful Sunday market from 10am. Dulwich, Clapham, Camberwell and Peckham are all easy to reach for more options.
