We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Full Description - Keating Estates are proud to present to market an exciting opportunity to acquire this four double bedroom, two bathroom Victorian house with a South-East facing garden, set along a quiet, tree-lined residential street just five minutes’ walk from the award-winning Brockwell Park.
With local cafés, pubs and shops close at hand, alongside the vibrant restaurants, independent markets and nightlife of Brixton and Herne Hill, both around ten-fifteen minutes away, the location offers a wonderful balance of leafy surroundings and neighbourhood living.
Offering generous proportions and a neutral finish throughout, the house presents an exciting blank canvas for its next owner to create a home tailored to their own tastes and lifestyle, without paying a premium for someone else’s design choices.
Having been tenanted, the property would benefit from some care and attention, with well-sized rooms, a wealth of original Victorian character and considerable scope to reimagine the accommodation for modern living.
From the outset, the house offers plenty of charm, with an attractive entrance porch, bay windows, feature fireplaces with handsome mantles, original shadow cornicing and decorative picture rails.
There is also clear potential to add further space and value, with precedent set on the street for both side-return extensions and loft conversions, subject to the necessary permissions.
Whether simply undertaking a thoughtful redecoration or embarking on a more ambitious transformation, this is an appealing opportunity to create a long-term home in a highly regarded residential location, with room to evolve alongside its next owners.
The ground floor consists of a welcoming reception room nestled behind a large bay window, with a separate dining room adjacent, complete with French doors to the garden.
A sizeable kitchen diner is set to the rear of this floor, with a charming bay door leading out to the garden.
The South-East facing garden provides a sunny and private outdoor setting, with low-maintenance paved seating areas framed by mature planting and an established tree creating a leafy backdrop.
Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting friends on a summer afternoon, this is a lovely space to make the most of the warmer months.
Four well-proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms are divided across the upper floors.
The principal bedroom is currently arranged as a second reception room, yet its feature fireplace and large windows lends itself easily to becoming a soothing principal bedroom.
Three further double bedrooms enjoy leafy garden views. A cellar provides useful additional storage, while the flexible layout offers exciting possibilities for the future.
The property is situated in a quiet, leafy part of Brixton on tree-lined Helix Road.
The road and its adjoining streets enjoy a strong sense of community, with pedestrianised street events and local art fairs forming part of the annual calendar.
The street itself is notably quiet, being blocked as a through road to Brixton Hill, which contributes to the peaceful residential atmosphere while still being conveniently located.
The Elm Park Tavern with its quiz, great food and good community feel is a short stroll to the top of the street, whilst a large supermarket, cafes and eateries are just a five-seven minute stroll in the other direction.
The location offers excellent access to central Brixton, approximately a ten-to-twelve-minute walk away.
Here, residents can take advantage of an extensive choice of restaurants, bars, cafés, markets, and independent shops.
In addition, several popular establishments on Brixton Hill, including F Mondays, Stir Coffee, Ciao Brixton, and the White Horse pub, are within easy reach just five-minutes away.
Transport links are highly convenient. Brixton Underground station, the first stop on the Victoria Line, provides fast connections into central London and the City.
Numerous bus routes also operate along Brixton Hill, offering reliable alternatives to the tube.
Those who prefer green spaces will benefit from the close proximity of Brockwell Park, roughly an eight-minute walk from the property.
A pleasant stroll across the park leads to Herne Hill, with its Thameslink station, a variety of cafés and restaurants, and the popular Sunday market.
The surrounding area also provides straightforward access to Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, Peckham, and Clapham, broadening the range of amenities and leisure options available. Freehold. Chain-free.
