"Beautiful and efficient spaces that are bathed in light throughout the day"

This sensitively restored five-bedroom house, with south-facing private garden, extends to almost 1,600 sq ft internally and is positioned on Pulross Road, a short walk from Brixton Village. The building’s traditional Victorian proportions have been extended and modified using a considered palette of bold colour and contemporary pattern, conceived by designer Adam Bray in collaboration with the current owners.

The house’s elegant front facade belies the contemporary living spaces within. To the left of the entrance hall is a dual-aspect living room that retains many original details. The room is of elegant Victorian volume and a huge bay window crowns the front of the plan. This space also epitomises the intelligent approach to colour taken throughout; the walls are painted in a bold aquamarine and the original floorboards in a deep green that changes as the light moves throughout the day. The south-facing rear of the room opens onto the garden, which is a wonderfully private outside space.

The house was recently completely redesigned and upgraded, with new windows throughout. The work was undertaken with a meticulous approach and an appreciation for the existing period spaces. As such, there is an excellent new kitchen at the rear of the ground-floor plan. Conceived by owners who love to cook, this is an efficient and beautiful space that is bathed in light throughout the day, care of a new set of smart Crittal glass doors at one end. Marble worksurfaces sit atop bespoke burgundy-coloured cabinetry that chimes with considered brass door furniture and taps.

On this level there is also a boldly patterned ground floor WC decorated using Hermes wallpaper, and access to the cellar which provides excellent storage. A wide staircase runs down the right-hand side of the plan, connecting the interior spaces and introducing a generous sense of volume and flow.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor of the house, two of which are currently used as home offices, and two further bedrooms on the second floor. Each space has been carefully conceived using a different colour scheme, and a statement red carpet runs underfoot throughout. The bedrooms all have a pleasant sense of scale and high ceilings, and there is bespoke inbuilt cabinetry in two of the first-floor spaces.

Pulross Road is well positioned for the best of nearby Stockwell, Brixton, Herne Hill and Clapham which are all within walking distance. Ferndale is a quiet residential area, and there is a lovely community playground close to the house.

Brixton is well-known for its excellent food and bar scene, with Brixton Village, Market Row and Acre Lane all being great destinations. The Ritzy Cinema, Electric Brixton and Brixton Academy are much-loved institutions while Brockwell Park (and its Lido) are also close by. Newly opened is The Department Store, the grand renovated 1876 Bon Marche building that now houses collaborative workspaces, a Pure Vinyl record shop, a community Post Office and Canova Hall restaurant and bar.

Brixton Station (Victoria Line and Overground services to Victoria and Southeast London) is seven minutes’ walk away, while Clapham North Underground (Northern Line) and Clapham High Street (Overground) are within a ten-minute walk.
