Montem Road, Honor Oak

£625,000

Viewings commence Saturday 6th September.

Large, light and lovely two double bedroom maisonette, with a generous shared garden and a private garage (access this from a lane to the rear and via the garden). Parking is unrestricted on this and nearby streets.

Measuring in at circa 1024 square feet, the well-appointed and well-placed pad gives you noteworthy bang for your buck. The location is a quiet and notably leafy residential street, and the apartment is set within a handsome Victorian semi.

Walk to Honor Oak Park Station in 12 minutes (or Catford and Catford Bridge in 15). And bus links are great from the South Circular. You are also close to lots of excellent primary schools.

The apartment - one of just two in the building - is delivered over first and second floor levels, with your own front door at ground floor level (set to the left hand side).

Up to the first floor and your eat-in kitchen rests to the rear - at 13 feet by over 12 feet, with cool cork flooring. Smart gloss base units are teamed with ceramic metro-tiles, wooden worktops, and open-shelving. The sash window gives you verdant vistas.

Your large reception room takes the width of the building - it is over 18 15 feet by 15; there is plenty of space to zone both dining and seating areas. Welcome features include stripped floors, a big bay window, ceiling rose, coving and picture rail detail, and an attractive central period fireplace.

On the second floor you have two similarly-sized double bedrooms with pale carpets (both are 13 feet by 12 feet). The front bedroom has a built-in alcove closet.

Finally, find your Velux-lit shower room, with the w.c. next door.

Honor Oak Park Station is a short walk and serves up regular (three stops to London Bridge) and Overground services.
