Flaxman Road, London, SE5

Entering on the upper ground floor and up the stairs to the the first floor you’ll find a spacious and bright reception room, with plenty of space for relaxing and for a dining table and chairs. There is a functioning wood burner, shelving and cupboards built into the alcoves and the room is finished with wood flooring that you will find throughout the property and a funky feature wall. There is a modern kitchen with cream wall and base units, a butchers block work top and complimentary floor and wall tiling as well as a built in oven and hob. The bathroom has a three piece suite complete with a shower over the bath, a WC and a sink and is finished with white localised wall tiling and contrasting floor tiles.

On the second floor you’ll find the bedroom, at over 20 sq m, the space provides ample room for a king sized bed, additional furniture and a desk. The bedroom benefits from a built in storage cupboard and has a contemporary feature wall.

Brixton tube station (Victoria line) is 0.9 miles away providing the Victoria Line, Loughborough Junction station (Thameslink) is 0.2m and Denmark Hill station is a 0.7m walk, with services fast to Blackfriars, Farringdon and Victoria. Coldharbour Lane has a wealth of bus routes taking you across London. Camberwell is well known for its art scene and has an ever-growing number of cafes, galleries, bars, and restaurants. Brixton is now one of London’s hottest nightspots and a real foodie haven.

Sellers comments - What I love most about this flat is the balance between generous space and a cosy, welcoming feel. Set across two floors, it has always felt airy and flexible for everyday living - I’ve been able to head to bed while dinner parties continued downstairs, work from home alongside my partner without feeling crowded, and host overnight guests comfortably in the spacious living room. There’s also been reassuring future potential, as the main bedroom is large enough to be split into two rooms.
Being on the upper levels, the flat has always felt very secure, and being on a quiet one-way street has added to that sense of calm. From the front, I feel part of a real community and love looking out over the Victorian terraces while working at the dining table. The woodburner creates a wonderfully homely atmosphere in winter, while at the back, the flat isn’t overlooked, offering rare privacy and an open sky view.
The neighbourhood has genuinely improved over the past 20 years, with better shops and a stronger sense of community. Viv’s Café on Coldharbour Lane feels like an extension of the living room, with familiar faces and excellent coffee. Practical perks include bike hangars, close proximity to a good hospital and Brixton tube, and plenty of green spaces nearby.
