Lightbulb Factory Conversion

Architecture & interior
Originally a lightbulb factory, “The Lightworks” is host to a small collection of highly revered warehouse conversions. This home is full of bright white space that works perfectly with its lofty factory aesthetic.

The property sits in the far corner of The Lightworks, set behind the gated entrance and past the residents parking.

Approaching through a corridor shared with one neighbour, you enter the property into a breeze-block-lined corridor where squares of ready-mix plaster have been daubed on to each brick and it’s an approach that extends throughout the three storey live/work space.

The current owner is an artist so the ground floor is currently a true artists workspace with works of art and plinths dotted around sparingly but this space could be reconfigured into many guises including more living space, a yoga studio or an artist’s studio. The high ceilings and skylights provide a very light and airy environment.

Ascending a narrow staircase, you reach an open-plan kitchen-living room, where more ready-mix reliefs decorate the walls. The bathroom is also located on this middle floor. The larger of the two balconies sits off this room where you can enjoy remarkable sunsets (and sunrises if you desire).

On the top floor is currently the one and only bedroom with a smaller balcony also overlooking the park and the treasured windmill.

In the Neighbourhood
The diverse community of Brixton is home to people from all over the world and one of its defining features, creating a vibrant and multicultural atmosphere. This diversity is reflected in the area’s rich tapestry of cultures, evident in the wide range of cuisines, languages, and traditions found throughout the area.

This can be seen in a microcosm at the hugely successful Brixton Village where you’ll find everything from Caribbean jerk chicken to Ethiopian stews, Indian curries to Italian pasta (https://brixtonvillage.com).

Closer to the property there are lots of independent shops and cafes including F. Monday’s coffee shop and The White Horse public house.

Transport & connections
At the end of Blenheim Gardens bus connections are abundant with services running to pretty much every corner of London. Alternatively, take the tube from Brixton where the Victoria line goes straight into the centre of London. Brixton overland station is also walkable where Southeastern services carry you into Victoria in seven minutes.
