Sale Agreed

Immaculate, architect-redesigned mid-century style terrace with three bedrooms, landscaped gardens and off-road parking.

Tucked away in a unique and quiet SE23 spot, this beautiful home offers design-led living — your retreat of calm. Discreetly positioned within a thoughtfully designed estate of terraces and low-rise flats in distinctive pale brickwork, it’s surrounded by mature communal gardens, an orchard and residents’ hall used for yoga, kids’ parties and community events. Pedestrianised cut-throughs lead easily to Honor Oak Park and Crofton Park, offering excellent connections.

Comprehensively refurbished in 2022, you needn’t lift a finger once in. The attention to detail is seriously impressive, celebrating materiality, clean lines and minimalism. Every element has been considered — from its ease of maintenance to the abundance of built-in storage.

You enter through a landscaped front garden and bespoke gate into an enclosed porch. The yellow front door opens into an entrance lobby with full-height coat cupboard, leading to a tiled downstairs shower room with WC, underfloor heating and a skylight.

A pocket door opens to the generous open-plan living space, flooded with natural light from full-width glazed sliding doors that open onto the 35-foot rear garden — wooden floors continue into decking, and you have views of greenery front and back.

The kitchen features sleek contemporary units, wooden worktops, breakfast bar and integrated appliances. It sits adjacent to a natural dining area that leads into the living area. The main living space (15’ x 13’) includes custom low-level storage and a recessed wood burner for cosy evenings.

The open-tread staircase leads upstairs to cork flooring throughout. To the front is a stylish marble-topped bathroom with full bath and underfloor heating, and a double bedroom (12’ x 9’) with built-in wardrobe and desk. To the rear is a large principal bedroom (15’ x 9’) overlooking the garden, with wall-to-wall timber wardrobes, and a single bedroom / home office (8’ x 6’) with additional fitted storage.

This area is ideal for families, with Outstanding and Good Ofsted rated schools including Ivydale, John Stainer, Beecroft Garden and Fairlawn, as well as Sunrise Community Nursery and Chelwood Forest Nursery at the end of the road.

Transport links are excellent — under 10 minutes’ walk to Honor Oak Park station for the Windrush Overground Line, connecting to the Jubilee and Elizabeth lines. There are direct trains to London Bridge in just three stops, or Thameslink services from Crofton Park station. Bus routes 343 and 484 are close by, and the P12 stops right outside.

For green space, enjoy nearby Brenchley Gardens and One Tree Hill with skyline views, Peckham Rye Park, Hilly Fields and Aquarius Golf Club.

Local pubs include The Ivy House, The Waverley Arms and Watson’s General Telegraph, as well as sit-in beer shop Waterintobeer and Brockley Brewery.

Honor Oak, Nunhead and Crofton Park all have village-style high streets with independent butchers, florists, fishmongers and grocers — and you’re within easy reach of the vibrant hubs of Brockley, Peckham and East Dulwich for more cafés, dining and wellbeing options.
