Full Description - Keating Estates are proud to present to market this charming and spacious two double bedroom Victorian School Conversion with its own private entrance, set within the gated grounds of College Green Court with off-street parking and resident's lawns including a fish pond.

Originally built in the 1850s, this imposing property is steeped in local history, first opened as Brixton Girls' Orphanage in the late 1800s before being acquired by the Brixton School of Building, and was finally converted into luxury apartments in 1997. This characterful development has been re-renovated externally in recent years and has a lovely period fa?ade.

Once inside the gates there are beautifully manicured shared gardens with a fish pond, the communal areas are well maintained and there is secure bike storage. This particular maisonette also benefits from an allocated off-street gated parking space.

This characterful split-level apartment boasts over 1,050 square feet of internal living space, with the luxury of multiple floors, the property feels like a home from the moment you step through the private entrance. This spacious maisonette is split over two upper floors and large sash windows and skylights allow an abundance of natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout with additional privacy owing to the elevated setting.

A true heart of the home, the open plan reception is set below lofty ceilings providing a cavernous space nearly ten meters long which must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Contemporary wooden flooring sweeps through the space creating a wonderful flow ideal for entertaining, leading from the expansive lounge, through the dining area and on into the kitchen. Plentiful storage is on offer within wrap-around shaker-style cabinetry, topped with wooden worktops and finished with a central cooking island, adding to the sociable vibe whilst also providing a more casual dining option at the adjoining breakfast bar. Feature lighting dangles alluringly above the dining table setting the mood for cherished dinners with loved ones.

An attractive staircase winds down to the floor below where the two bedrooms are positioned. A rarity for period conversions, both bedrooms are large doubles of similar size, suited to those wishing to rent out or re-purpose one of the rooms. Both bedrooms have characterful sash windows with secondary gazing to promote a peaceful sleep and plenty of room for the traditional bedroom furnishings plus a desk or dressing table if desired. The house bathroom is equipped with a bathtub plus overhead shower, complete with leafy views and a storage for a neat finish.

Sure to appeal to a wide range of purchasers this substantial home is a blank canvas, neutrally finished and perfect for anyone who wants to move in hassle-free, with the added perks of your own entrance, allocated off-street parking, lawns that you can enjoy without having to maintain and the peace of mind of a gated, friendly community.

Enjoying a fantastic location this appealing maisonette is just a five-minute stroll to vibrant Brixton and the restaurants, bars and cafes that make up the culinary Mecca of Atlantic Road and Coldharbour Lane. With both Brixton Village and Pop Brixton also on the doorstep, purchasers will be able to sample a different cuisine every night of the week, or socialise in style at the Upstairs Private members club after enjoying a film at The Ritzy or Whirled cinemas. Purchasers will be spoilt choice as in twenty-minutes by foot you can also reach Clapham, Stockwell, Denmark Hill and the green open spaces of Brockwell Park in Herne Hill, with Ruskin Park just a twelve-minute amble and smaller parks right on the doorstep.

Commute to most places in London in under 45 minutes, with Brixton Tube and the start of the Victoria Line just a nine-minute walk away, plus the overground trains at Brixton Station and, just a six-minute walk in the other direction, Loughborough Junction offers direct trains to Blackfriars, Farringdon and Kings Cross/St Pancras.
