Full property description

This striking Victorian family home measures in excess of 1,160 sq. ft. and is ideally located between Ladywell and Catford Stations, right next to open green space of Ladywell Fields.

The house has been in the same family for over half a decade, and has recently been subject to some well-considered remodelling and improvement works including; the opening up of the kitchen/dining room to create a larger, more functional and sociable space, the installation of a new modern kitchen and boiler and the front and rear gardens have been landscaped.

The house has lots of period character, excellent proportions and natural light, and offers the incoming purchaser the ability to further improve and tweak the layout/interiors to suit their individual needs, make it their own and add value. There is also the opportunity to extend the house, subject to the usual consents.

The entrance hallway and the reception rooms are adorned with attractive period features including intricate ceiling mouldings and coving, with the reception rooms flooded in light from the large angled front bay window. The two reception rooms can be divided using the original partition doors, which are another feature, and which allow a nice flexibility to the use of these rooms. The rear reception room has built-in shelving and cabinets flanking the chimney breast with French doors leading out to the garden.

The kitchen has been opened up and is entirely new, including a large freestanding American style fridge freezer and a movable kitchen island providing lots of useful worktop and storage units. The garden is directly accessible from the kitchen, which is a total sun-trap being virtually due-South facing to the rear. The side return has the opportunity for extension in future, subject to the usual consents.

Upstairs there are three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom which requires an overhaul and currently boasts some very special old, patterned wall tiles. The loft offers lots of additional storage space, as well as the opportunity to extend the property upwards in future (subject to consents).

The house is very well connected – it’s 11 minutes on foot to Catford Bridge Station, 13 minutes to Catford Station and 14 minutes to Ladywell Station, all of which connect with Central London in under 25 minutes. There are a number of good local schools, including Holbeach and Rushey Green Primary Schools and Secondary’s include Prendergast and St Dunstan’s College.

Aside from having Ladywell Fields on your doorstep, Hilly Fields, Blythe Hill Fields and Mountsfield Park are also nearby. Blackheath and Beckenham Place Park are also within easy reach.
