A charming, detached period home in a sought-after village location. Situated in the heart of Brixton, this delightful, detached period home offers a perfect combination of traditional character and modern living.

The Kitchen/Dining Room is another exceptional space, enjoying dual aspect windows to the front and side, flooding the room with natural light from the southerly aspect. Fitted with a range of wall and base units, the farmhouse kitchen features ample work surfaces, cupboards, and drawers, along with a Belfast sink unit with mixer tap and stylish splashback tiling.
