Gilmore Road, Lewisham
£335,000
Spacious, charming and high-ceilinged one bedroom first floor flat with a Freehold-share and a very large, well-kept communal garden. Find your new pad within a large Victorian semi, on a quiet and tree-lined street which is pleasingly close to central Lewisham - for strong (grocery, market and high street) shopping and excellent transport links.
A mature mimosa tree (bright yellow fragrant flowers in springtime) sits in front of the building and provides a nice outlook plus privacy in your front room and kitchen.
The main front door is up a few steps, then you take the stairwell from the shared hall to your own front door. Your own hall/lobby has three doors. The first, ahead, opens into the large open-plan reception/dining room/kitchen. Southwesterly-facing large windows (double-glazed) here keep matters supremely sunny. The fitted kitchen is a modern one with stainless steel handles to the smart wall and base units, and metro-style tiling. Welcome features in the reception space include fitted book shelving, coving, wooden floors and an opened-up fireplace with exposed brickwork.
Your windowed bathroom rests to the left of the front door. This has Victorian-style fittings, complete with a roll-top bath and large profile wall tiles.
Finally you have your big double bedroom (in a neutral pink hue), with a view across the garden and down to the Quaggy river. This is over 12 feet each way, with an added bonus room next door, which is currently enjoyed as a walk-in wardrobe. Alternatively you could use it as a home office, nursery, or even potentially convert it to an en suite shower room.
Walk just 10 minutes to Lewisham’s mainline and DLR stations. As well as the DLR to Canary Wharf and Bank, trains are direct London Bridge, Charing Cross and Victoria.
There are also loads of handy bus routes at the end of your street. A few minutes from your front door, you’ll walk through the famous Lewisham market to reach an M&S foodhall, as well as Italian and Polish delicatessens brimming with goodies. Glass Mill Leisure Centre is close, too, with swimming pool, gym and spa.
Blackheath is a 15-minute stroll away (or 3 minutes on the train!), where you’ll find the Sunday Farmers’ Market, and Greenwich, Deptford and New Cross are all close.
Greenwich has plenty of museums, a popular covered market (crafts/street food etc.) and of course the Royal Park and Observatory (great views over the River Thames here). Deptford has lovely restaurants like Marcella and The Watergate, plus The Dog & Bell pub.
