The entrance opens into an impressive double-height reception room, where the scale of the original building is immediately apparent. Wide double doors open towards the front of the plan, floor-to-ceiling timber features provide contrast and accentuate the surrounding brickwork. A steel open-tread staircase rises to the principal suite, which stretches across the width of the plan. The bedroom and adjoining bathroom have been brought together as one open arrangement, with glass brickwork allowing light to travel through the space while retaining a sense of separation. Above, the second floor is given over to a substantial living space. Exposed brickwork and exceptional floor-to-ceiling heights establish a sense of scale and drama, while large Crittall-style windows on two sides draw in an abundance of daylight. A Juliet balcony provides an additional connection to the outside. The room is generous enough to accommodate separate areas for sitting and working, with a freestanding bath occupying one corner as an unexpectedly sculptural feature. The top floor brings the home together around its kitchen and dining space. Set beneath a pitched roof with skylights, the room has an expansive feel, with a large central island anchoring the space. French doors open onto a private terrace, where views extend towards Brixton Windmill, an unusually evocative outlook for an urban home. The vertical arrangement gives the house a rhythm of its own: from the generous arrival space and bedroom accommodation below, through the more intimate principal suite and expansive living floor, to the light-filled kitchen and terrace above.

Blenheim Gardens occupies a particularly interesting position within Brixton, balancing the creative energy of one of London's most distinctive neighbourhoods with a quieter, greener setting around Windmill Gardens. Directly opposite and clearly visible from The Lightworks, Brixton Windmill provides an extraordinary local landmark. Built in 1816 and now a Grade II* listed structure, it is one of London's rare surviving working windmills, restored to grind flour once again. Its surrounding gardens offer a welcome pocket of green space, and an unusually peaceful outlook so close to the heart of Brixton. The neighbourhood itself has long been shaped by creativity, independent enterprise and a rich cultural mix. At its centre, Brixton Village and Market Row bring together more than 100 independent traders, with restaurants, bars, food shops and specialist businesses representing an extraordinary range of cuisines and cultures. From neighbourhood cafés and bakeries to late-night dining, it is an ever-evolving part of London, with a character that feels distinctly its own. Music and the arts are equally woven into the fabric of the area. The legendary O2 Academy Brixton, Electric Brixton, Hootananny and Brixton Jamm provide an eclectic programme of live music, club nights and performances, from established names to emerging artists. The Ritzy Cinema remains a much-loved local institution, while Brixton House brings contemporary theatre, performance and new creative voices to the neighbourhood. A little further afield, Van Gogh House on Hackford Road offers another fascinating connection between art, place and local history. For those drawn to the outdoors, the choice is equally compelling. Brockwell Park offers extensive lawns, mature trees, landscaped gardens, tennis courts and its celebrated open-air lido. Clapham Common and Streatham Common provide further expanses of green space, while the surrounding streets and parks offer plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. Despite its distinctive village-like pockets, Brixton is exceptionally well connected. Underground and National Rail stations provide access across London, with the Victoria line running directly to Oxford Circus in around eleven minutes. This live / work space brings together an unusual combination of qualities: the creative spirit of a former industrial community, the cultural richness of Brixton, excellent connections across London and the welcome presence of substantial green spaces almost on the doorstep. Above all, it offers the opportunity to inhabit a building with a genuine history and an individual architectural character, in a neighbourhood that continues to evolve without losing its identity.
