Milton Road, London, SE24 0NL

Guide Price: £475,000 - £500,000 Set within a handsome Victorian conversion on Milton Road, this spacious garden flat has its own private entrance and more than 640 sq ft of bright, flexible living space.

It’s immaculately presented and ready to move straight into. The flat flows beautifully from front to back.

At the front, the reception room is filled with morning sunshine through a classic sash bay window, with wooden floors, built-in shelving and integrated storage.

A central hallway leads through to the kitchen and bedroom at the rear, both overlooking the garden, so the home opens up naturally towards the outdoors. The layout is wonderfully adaptable.

The current owner has lived here both as a generous one-bedroom home and as a two-bedroom, using the reception as a second bedroom, as the kitchen is large enough for a sofa and dining table.

A dedicated study area makes it ideal for working from home.

The kitchen is made for cooking and entertaining, with a built-in fridge freezer, plenty of storage, a wraparound breakfast bar and room for a dining table.

Kitchen doors open directly onto the garden. The private garden is the star of the show and a genuine rarity for a flat in this area.

Peaceful and pretty, it features a lawn, a patio for summer dining, a pond and a thriving rosemary bush. It’s perfect for a morning coffee, a quiet evening or hosting friends.

The double bedroom sits quietly at the rear, overlooking the garden, with built-in wardrobes and space for further storage.

The bathroom features a walk-in shower, and there’s extra storage under the stairs. Underfloor heating, energy-efficient LED lighting and a freshly redecorated building exterior complete the picture.

The Area Poets’ Corner is one of South London’s most loved neighbourhoods: leafy, friendly and full of community spirit.

Brockwell Park sits at the end of the road, with its famous 1930s Lido, sports facilities, open green spaces and one of the best views of the London skyline.

Weekends here are all about park picnics, morning swims and long walks.

Herne Hill is a short stroll away, with a buzzing Sunday market, independent cafés and coffee shops, delis, bakeries and friendly local pubs.

In the other direction, central Brixton brings some of London’s most exciting food and culture, from the restaurants and street food of Brixton Village to the Ritzy cinema, live music venues and bars.

Herne Hill station is around six minutes on foot, and central Brixton, with the Victoria line, is a ten-minute stroll.

Victoria is reachable in around 16 minutes, Blackfriars in 20, London Bridge in 24 and Canary Wharf in around 37, door to door. Share of freehold. Chain free.
