This characterful coach house is bigger than it looks...
A historic detached coach house, dating back to 1890, is now for sale in the heart of Brixton.
Steeped in history, Langtry Lodge was gifted to the famous London actress Lillie Langtry by a member of the Royal Family (there's a stone plaque engraved with her name). Built using ornate brickwork unique to this part of London, the coach house was once a former piano workshop and later a safe muster point for the local Jewish community during the war.
With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property boasts cast iron gates, a cobbled courtyard, heavy wooden doors leading to the open-plan kitchen entertaining space, a spiral staircase, Juliet balcony, and built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms (one also has its own en-suite bathroom).
Throughout, white paint gives an overall feeling of more space, while the open-plan area opens up the square footage, creating a welcoming room for both relaxing and entertaining. Highlights include the internal brick walls, wooden laminate flooring, arched windows and small rustic fireplace — perfect for cold winters.
Outside, new owners will find off-street parking and a well-manicured lawned garden at the rear. Nestled in the centre of Brixton, the house is conveniently positioned with good transport links, local restaurants, supermarkets, and sprawling green spaces to explore on the weekend.
This property is currently on the market for £1,400,000 with Knight Frank.
