2 bed flat for sale

Shakespeare Road, London SE24

Sold offmarket

Set on the ground floor of a handsome Victorian property on a quiet, tree-lined street, this beautifully presented flat offers two evenly sized double bedrooms, a generous kitchen and dining space, and a superb private garden that feels like a real extension of the home.

You enter into a welcoming hallway with built-in storage, leading through to two well-proportioned double bedrooms at the front of the property. The principal bedroom is particularly striking, enhanced by a new bay window installed in 2021 with double-glazed acoustic glass and plantation shutters, bringing in excellent natural light while keeping the room calm and peaceful. Both bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, offering plenty of storage.

Moving through the flat, the layout opens into an impressive open plan kitchen and dining area, extended in 2018 to create a sociable space that works brilliantly for everyday life and hosting, leading on to a reception room area at the rear that opens out onto the garden. The kitchen is well arranged with excellent storage and worktop space, while the rear reception space feels defined and comfortable, yet still connected to the heart of the home. The bathroom was renovated in 2020 and beautifully finished with a bathtub and underfloor heating.

To the rear, doors open out to a wonderfully maintained private garden, complete with a lawn, patio terrace and side return. The garden features a palm tree and raised beds planted with jasmine, lilac, wisteria, honeysuckle, strawberries, mimosa and a bay tree. It is a beautiful outdoor space that feels established and private, ideal for summer dining, gardening, or quiet mornings outside.

The property also benefits from a long lease with approximately 178 years remaining, and on-street parking available to the front. Shakespeare Road is a peaceful residential street within a Low Traffic Neighbourhood, giving it a calmer feel while still being brilliantly connected. The property is walking distance to Herne Hill, Brixton and Loughborough Junction, with Brockwell Park close by for the lido, weekend markets at Railton Road and wide open green space. There is a great selection of independent cafés, restaurants and local favourites nearby, and excellent transport links into central London via Thameslink services and Brixton for the Victoria line. The area is also well placed for a choice of local schools, adding to its long-term appeal.
