"Victorian fireplaces, ceiling roses and cornices, beautifully restored oak floorboards and shuttered bay windows sit harmoniously with a modern extension and pared-back aesthetic."
Positioned on Pulross Road, a smart Victorian terrace in a quiet residential area between Clapham and Brixton, this wonderfully proportioned house with a private garden has been sensitively refurbished to maximise space and light. Much of the original detail remains; Victorian fireplaces, ceiling roses and cornices, beautifully restored oak floorboards and shuttered bay windows sit harmoniously with a modern extension and pared-back aesthetic.
Set behind a neat courtyard, the house has a handsome original frontage. On entering, the hallway leads onto a large double living space which has been elegantly decorated to accentuate its generous proportions. The two rooms open onto each other through reclaimed double doors and each has a fireplace, one gas and one real.
At the back of the house, a sleek kitchen and dining area are set within the modern addition. This space is flooded with light from a large skylight and a huge bespoke oak-framed door that opens onto the south-facing garden. A consistent palette of muted tones flows throughout the house. The kitchen is fitted in steel with full height monochrome cabinets. On the ground floor is a well-designed and spacious family bathroom, and from the hallway there is access to a fully tanked cellar, providing plenty of storage.
Ascending an elegant staircase, lit from a skylight above, are three bedrooms and a bathroom that have been decorated using a minimal palette to create a serene environment. There is custom-made cabinetry in each and the master bedroom has lovely Victorian details. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a home office.
Pulross Road is well positioned to get the best of nearby Brixton and Clapham. Brixton is well-known for its 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 within walking distance. 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.
