Bradgate Road, Catford

£995,000

Victorian bay-fronted four double bed, two bath terrace of 1707 square feet (excluding the handy cellar).

Both Catford stations are an under-10 minute walk, and lovely Ladywell Fields is just a two minute walk. Good schools, and Lewisham, Ladywell and Catford town centres are all close too.

The handsome home has been deftly-extended (exploiting the full potential of the plot), and completely refurbished over recent years. It’s been completely re-wired, re-plumbed, re-plastered and freshly painted from top to bottom, and boasts a new roof and roof tiles as well.

Further treats include a pro-landscaped part-walled garden (accessed from wall-spanning doors), bespoke shutters to the windows fronting the house, and an en suite full-size dressing room to the master bedroom - which could be converted to a fifth bedroom if you preferred.

A smart walled front garden is a warm welcome. A secure bike store is fitted here. In your front door (noting the original-style hall floor tiling) and your double-reception rests to your right. The front room is over 13 feet by over 11 feet, with immaculate custom-made alcove furniture, and a beautiful feature fireplace. The second reception is over 10 feet by nearly 10 feet, with another pretty fireplace.

Access the large kitchen/reception via a couple of steps here, or from the hall (from the foot of the hall there is cellar access to your left, and a large storage cupboard to your right - the latter is plumbed for a downstairs w.c.).

What a room! It's 14 feet by over 20 feet - incorporating kitchen, dining and seating areas. Here you'll enjoy underfloor heating, exposed brickwork, and a modern fitted kitchen: a sleek white affair with central island, plenty of storage and counter space (smart stone worktops impress), plus integrated high-end Bosch appliances. Three skylight windows keep matters bright, as do the glazed folding doors onto the garden.

Up the stairs and from the half-landing, you’ve got a smart double bedroom to the rear (over 14 feet by over 9 feet), and a windowed modern bathroom with underfloor heating, an over bath shower and Fired Earth tiles.

From the main landing you’ve got your huge master bedroom to the front of the house (over 15 feet by over 11 feet), with a classy fitted-out dressing room next door (over 11 feet by nearly 10 feet).

The next half-landing delivers another double bedroom and generous (windowed) shower room, with Fired Earth tiles and underfloor heating again. At the very top of the house, the tour is completed by a big fourth double bedroom, with double-glazed French doors/Juliet balcony and easily-accessible eaves storage.

Ladywell Fields is a surprisingly-sprawling green space which hugs the Ravensbourne River. It’s teeming with wildlife and has a sweet cafe plus tennis courts and athletics track.

Holbeach, Prendergast Ladywell, Prendergast (all state) and St. Dunstan’s (private) schools are all local and very well regarded

Catford and Catford Bridge stations are yours within 10 minutes. Ladywell Station is close too - just 12 minutes by foot.

Choose from Lewisham or Catford centres for high street stuff and markets. Both town centres are growing in social and foodie options - we like Sparrow and Something Fishy in Lewisham, and Catford’s popular authentic pizzeria and Catford Constitutional Club. Ladywell has a cute village-style high street. Here we like The Larder (deli), Mamma Dough (pizza place) and The Ladywell Tavern (beers, burgers and Sunday roasts).
