Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Perching Sparrow is a well-loved family home. Be warned – two of the bedrooms are only really suitable for children. As long as you don’t mind sharing the space with some of the owner’s possessions, its lived-in status gives a home away from home feel. A real highlight of this house is its kitchen-dining area that's flooded with natural light from the floor to ceiling windows. Filled with books, art prints and even a grand piano, the space oozes charm and character.

About Brixton
Brixton is scruffy and proud of it. It's an incredibly colourful and vibrant area with its own distinctive personality. There's never a dull moment: there's the foodie haven of Brixton Village Market crammed full of independent pop-up restaurants to explore, as well as the historic Ritzy arthouse cinema across the road, and the legendary Brixton Academy, one of London's hottest live music venues.
