If you are on the hunt for a modern and comfortable family home within striking distance of central London, then 7, Eltham Green Road in Greenwich could be your perfect property. Featuring four bedrooms, a master en suite with dressing room, and a lounge with marble bar that opens on a garden with three terraces, lawn, and a summerhouse, this is a home the whole family can enjoy.
Welcome to Number 7
Find Number 7 nestled on the corner of a street lined with smart terraced houses. Access the large, enclosed block-paved driveway via the majestic gold-tipped iron gates, where you will find ample parking.
Step Inside
Note the neat shrub border before coming to a storm porch, which is as pretty as it as useful thanks to its white panelled exterior and stained-glass accents to the glazing.
The front door leads you into a bright and cosy reception hall where the decorative coving to the high ceiling provides a sense of space, while the parquet flooring underfoot adds warmth.
Contemporary Living & Entertaining
Hang up your coat in the cupboard under the turned staircase tucked to one side, then freshen up in the downstairs cloakroom before heading straight ahead into the fantastically proportioned lounge.
Here, the parquet flooring continues, illuminated by roof lanterns, feature mood lighting and spotlighting studding the ceiling above. Windows to the side and flanking the French doors onto the terrace draw the garden in, making this a wonderful space to entertain come summer. In the winter months, invite your friends round for drinks served directly from your private, marble bar – a stylish and convenient way to keep the party going whatever the weather.
A door from the lounge opens into the light and airy kitchen-diner, where a range of sleek, crisp white units wrap around three aspects, offering plenty of workspace and storage, and ending in an alcove for an American-style fridge-freezer.
The beautifully tiled splashback complements the granite worktops, inset with two sinks overlooking the front and rear respectively. Integrated appliances include three Bosch ovens, microwave, and a separate gas hob with extractor. A TV point and a breakfast area that can easily accommodate a table for six completes this delightful family zone.
To the left of the hallway, you will find an additional, front-facing sitting room with parquet flooring and coving to the ceiling. Benefiting from in-built storage, shelving, and a mirrored alcove to display your favourite ornaments, it’s a versatile room that could be used as a children’s play area, study, or as a winter snug.
Relax & Unwind
Ascend the stairs to the neutrally decorated first-floor landing, finding the master to the right. Featuring tasteful floral wallpaper to one wall, wooden flooring and a wide window overlooking the rear garden, the master is a peaceful place to retreat to after a long day. The tiled en suite contains a shower, heated towel rail, basin and loo, and there is also a separate dressing room where you can prepare yourself for the day ahead.
The three further double bedrooms all come with integrated wardrobes, wooden flooring, and a contemporary decoration scheme. A family shower room – with luxurious tiling, corner shower, basin and loo – completes the first floor.
Step Outside
Number 7’s manicured, easy-to-maintain garden boasts an entertaining terrace with a central solar feature and retractable awning with lighting above, a BBQ terrace, and a further patio housing the garden shed and the side access gate leading back to the front drive. An elegant, wrought-iron flower and shrub border echoes the iron finishing around the fence enclosing the lawn. The large summerhouse has power and lighting and a separate WC, making it the perfect games room, gym or home office.
