Property description
Although built on the cusp of William IV and Victoria's reigns, this delightful four bedroom home is thoroughly in the Georgian style. A stunning fanlight will remind you of days gone by as will a healthy sprinkling of original fireplaces and cornice work. The property is arranged over three floors and offers a versatile layout allowing for 2-4 bedrooms and 2-4 receptions. The location is unbeatably convenient with the Old Kent Road a glance to the left. The East London Line (zone 2) is a 5 minute stroll as are fast, direct and frequent services to Victoria. Goldsmiths University is walkable in under 15 minutes and there are any number of shops, pubs and cafes nearby. Telegraph Hill Park is great for wearing out the kids/dog/partner.
Enter through a walled front garden where original black railings lead up a set of steps to the front door. The fanlight is a crowning glory tempting you to investigate inside. The inner hall is fresh and bright with crisp white walls and wooden flooring. Sidestep to the right to find the first reception/bedroom. Here you'll be charmed silly by the first of many divine original fireplaces and a front facing arched sash window. Delicate original cornicing completes the period adornments. The room to the rear of this hosts a fabulous period stove and offers a view over the garden. Down a half flight in the hall you’ll meet a modern kitchen (with integrated fridge freezer, four ring gas hob and oven) from which you may enter the pretty paved patio. The aspect delivers sun throughout much of the day (from around mid morning). Beyond the patio you'll find a maintenance free pebble bed area lined on either side with Clematis armandii and Trachelospermum. Between the two hedges the garden is kept in blossom from March to September.
Back inside and descend a mini flight of stairs to reach the lower ground floor. A front facing reception/bedroom supplies access to the front garden as well as a rather ornate feature mantel hugged by storage units. A further bedroom/dining room leads, via French doors, to the patio. A handy guest wc has been deftly slotted under the staircase meaning you won't get caught out. Moving upward to the first floor reveals a front facing master bedroom which spans the width of the house and catches your gaze with another awe inspiring period fireplace. A second bedroom on this level faces rear with more fitted storage units. The main bathroom sits down on the return and is fully tiled. The suite consists of twin wash hand basins, bath and loo.
Boutiques, bars and cafés line the funky New Cross high street and an excellent Sainsburys is a six minute walk. From New Cross Gate station you are only one stop away from London Bridge (it also serves Victoria). You also have access to the London Overground line where you can connect to the Jubilee line via Canada Water. With so many buses sweeping through it's easy to take the scenic route if you'd rather. Add to this that Greenwich and Blackheath are both a 5 minute drive (10 on a bus) and your weekends are looking a bit special.
