Property description
Sporting what is potentially the best living space we've ever seen, this capacious family house sits in the catchment area for the very popular Edmund Waller primary school. A larger than average Victorian terrace, it has six bedrooms, an 800sqft lower ground floor arrangement, mezzanine level, two terraces, four bathrooms and a splendid 63ft garden to finish it off. Many fabulous original features remain in this substantial home along with first world necessities - for example, speakers with control panels in every room and a Megaflo heating system.
A triple bay window exterior sits back from the street behind wrought iron railings and cobblestone path. The front door has stained glass panels and invites you inside. The layout is familiar - two bedrooms are first on your right. The front facing room is currently used as a reception and has plantation shutters to the windows, wooden floors and a feature wall painted a chic grey. You'll also find a bio fuel fireplace and get instant smokeless flames that give off heat - very swish. The second bedroom sits behind and has much the same decor with added fitted wardrobes and a rear aspect. A few steps down will leave you in awe of the next bedroom - it's large enough to be the master and has an en suite shower room and private roof terrace! Fitted wardrobes will take care of storage needs too.
Continue down to meet an informal reception room on a mezzanine level. You'll be impressed by a structual glass floor resting underneath the bay window overlooking the street. This is an expertly chosen fitting as it draws the light down throughout the lower level. The lower ground floor is a home-owner's dream. It stretches 54 feet from top to toe and has been cleverly arranged to maximise the space. The kitchen can be found toward the front of the house and has a central island, two ovens, two wine fridges (naturally) and bundles of work tops to whip up a dinner party to remember. You can place the dining table under the three skylights taking the centre of the room. Head to the rear to enjoy another reception area with working fireplace and full width slide, folding doors onto the garden which can be pushed back for a great sense of flow. Lashings of light run throughout this space, credit going to the numerous overhead windows and skylights installed.
If you can bear to drag yourself away from this floor (we couldn't!), then the top floors will also impress. The first floor holds bedrooms four and five. Resting on the rear half landing is bedroom four, currently used as a dressing room Carrie Bradshaw would be proud of. The fifth bedroom is also worthy of being the master suite. There is a big bay window with additional sash, original fireplace and en suite shower room in tasty Travertine tiling. The family bathroom can also be found on the first floor and has a wet-room style shower, tub, twin basin and is also fully tiled for easy maintenance. The top floor holds bedroom six - a lofty, peaceful space with a private terrace and plenty of eave storage. The views from the terraces in this house are indescribable - you simply have to see for yourself!
Arbuthnot Road is right in the heart of the Telegraph Hill Conservation area with a close proximity to a number of excellent local schools including Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College. Local transport links include New cross Gate and Brockley stations (National Rail and London Overground) with superb connections to Canary Wharf, London Bridge and The City. You are also within striking distance of Nunhead train station and a quick jump on the Overground line will have you hob-nobbing in Shoreditch and beyond in no time!
