Brixton Water Lane, London, SW2

Set within an end-of-terrace period building on ever-popular Brixton Water Lane, this generous two-bedroom, two-bathroom maisonette combines scale, storage and a private garden. A wide reception room spans the front with twin windows, decorative coving and bespoke shelving and cupboards to the alcoves; there’s ample space for a large dining table. The adjoining kitchen is neatly planned with modern cabinetry and integrated appliances (oven, hob, fridge-freezer and dishwasher), plus space for a washing machine. A useful store room off the reception houses the boiler with space for a tumble dryer.

Sleeping quarters are well arranged: the principal double bedroom sits to the front with extensive four-door wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The second double bedroom opens through glazed double doors to the private paved garden—perfect for alfresco suppers and relaxed weekend gatherings. A family bathroom serves this level, and the home also enjoys its own front garden and access to a communal bicycle room for residents.

Brixton Water Lane places you moments from central Brixton for the Victoria line, national rail, the Ritzy Cinema and Brixton Village’s celebrated food scene. Herne Hill is also close by for Thameslink and Victoria services, independent cafés and access to Brockwell Park with its lido, walled garden and café. Excellent bus links run along Effra Road and Brixton Hill, putting the West End and City within easy reach.
