Cotherstone Road, London Borough Of Lambeth

Brickworks says

This two-bedroom Victorian conversion sits neatly on the ground floor, striking that elusive balance between period charm and a contemporary feel. At the front, the principal bedroom is calm and quietly confident: plantation shutters soften the light through the bay window, while picture rails and cornicing recall the home’s heritage. The second double bedroom, currently moonlighting as a study, leans into its panelled walls, making it an inspiring spot to work, read or rest.

The reception room centres around an original cast-iron fireplace, giving the space a natural anchor. The kitchen, set in a modern extension, introduces a playful shift; a delightful pink palette that feels both current and surprisingly timeless. From here, a door opens onto the south-west-facing garden, where practical decking blurs the boundary between inside and out. There’s lawn for lounging, gravel for low-maintenance moments and raised beds for anyone feeling vaguely ambitious about tomatoes.

Positioned between Brixton, Clapham and Streatham, you’re well placed for the best of each. Brockwell Park is a short stroll for lido dips and sunset picnics, while evenings might involve the Ritzy Picturehouse or a stop at The Railway Tavern. Mornings, naturally, start at Gail's in Streatham. The rest of London's well within reach too, with the tube a brief bus-ride away.

The owner says

This home for us is a little haven of tranquility in an otherwise bustling London. Whilst every glorious bit of what the city has to offer is on your doorstep, as soon as you are at home it is calm and peaceful. With the wooded area at the back of the garden you can sit outside and listen to the birds chirp and sing all day long.

From Spring to Autumn we have friends over for big BBQs and late summer evenings under the fairy lights in the garden. The flat is cosy and homely in winter, whilst all summer long the doors are flung open. The flat has so much history, which we have worked really hard to restore to show off all its character. I love to think about who else has walked upon our beautiful patterned Victorian tiles over the last hundred years. And who is yet to come...

The legal bit

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
