St Swithun’s Road, Hither Green

£475,000

Lovely two double bedroom first floor conversion flat of 600 square feet, on a tree-lined residential street, with pretty church views from the bay window in your west-facing reception room. A substantial private garden (a sunny one - facing east with a big twist of south, access it via the side of the house) completes the offering. Chain free.

The property further boasts a Freehold-share, a pleasing neutral decorative scheme, high ceilings, double glazing, and good fitted storage.

Walk just eight minutes to Hither Green Station (Cannon Street is a 13 minute journey). You are also close to plenty of cafes and conveniences.

There are just three flats (a two bed below, and a one bed above the back half of yours), and you share a neat entrance hall. Take the stairs up and your own front door is at first floor level. From here, your large carpeted reception room is through a door to your left. At over 14 feet each way you have plenty of space to zone dining and seating areas. There is a feature fireplace in here and the alcoves host built/in shelving and cupboards.

Your windowed kitchen rests next door, with classy timeless fitted wall and base units, and integrated appliances.

Directly ahead from the front door, you will find your principal bedroom, of over 14 feet by over 10 feet. This has built-in wardrobes.

Next up you have a neat windowed bathroom with modern white suite and over-bath shower. Finally at the back of the building you have bedroom two: a respectable double at over 10 feet by over 9 feet, with an easterly-orientation and a built-in closet once again.

Hither Green Station is a short walk and will have you in central London in a jiffy, with a 10 minute journey time to London Bridge, or 20 to Charing Cross/Canon St. You have got good bus routes too.

Really locally, you have a Co-Op and Mission Green Organic Food shop. And Drink at Bob's and an independent florist are popular spots on Hither Green Lane itself, as is Cafe Green (on Ennersdale Road, for authentic Vietnamese food). The Station Hotel is a strong local public house, or walk down to Lewisham centre - for bowling, main shops, M&S, Sainsbury's, Starbucks etc. and the daily market (don’t forget trendy foodie Brockley Market on Saturday's at Lewisham College).

Green space? Mountsfield Park is your most local one, then you’ve got Manor House Gardens (with cafe, tennis courts and lake, near a large Sainsbury’s), Ladywell and Hilly Fields (both of these have cute cafes, too). And it is but a 10 minute bus/cycle/drive to nearby Greenwich Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, or Blackheath Common. Drive to Blackheath in five minutes for the Sunday market and general super classy SE London-village life!
