Blythe Hill, Honor Oak

£550,000

Cool two double bedroom maisonette on first and second floors, with its own front door, and own private garden. Chain free.

The location is a wide, quiet and leafy residential street in high ground. Walk to Catford and Catford Bridge stations in 10 minutes, or Honor Oak Park Station in 15. And bus links are great from the nearby South Circular.

Take external steps to your front door (at first floor level). In here and a neat hall welcomes you. To your right you have a bright south-facing reception room, of 13 feet each way. There is plenty of space for both seating and dining. As throughout the flat, you have a double-glazed window.

Next door is a smart U-shaped kitchen, with high-gloss modern units and brick-style tiling. Open a back door here and take stairs down to your own garden - a good size, and which is laid to lawn.

In again and up the stairs and your two double bedrooms are to front and back. The principal bedroom is to the front - of over 10 feet by nearly 13 feet. This has stripped and painted boards to the floor, and brilliant built-in cupboards and drawers to both alcoves.

The rear bedroom is over 11 feet by over 9 feet, again with stripped and painted boards.

The floor and tour is completed by the property’s bathroom, to the front of the flat. This has contemporary white sanitary ware and on-trend monochrome detailing/fittings. Smart sunny yellow tiles are a further welcome feature.

Your local high street has handy shops, alongside nice cafes and eateries. We particularly like Two Spoons (for brunch, coffee and such), and Miss Margherita (for yummy pizzas) - in a former bank building.

Other local delights include Nonna Maria restaurant, Marchetti (which used to be a coffee van on Blythe Hill) cafe on Stanstead Road, and the Blythe Hill local market; this takes place on the first weekend of each month over Spring/Summer.

This is a particularly green spot to lay your hat. Local green spaces include Blythe Hill Fields, One Tree Hill, Horniman Gardens, Peckham Rye Park and Common, Ladywell Fields and Hilly Fields.

Other local town centres include Catford, Forest Hill, Sydenham, East Dulwich, Crofton Park and Brockley.
