House For Sale £1,065,000
Chain free and exquisite halls-adjoining bay-fronted four bed Victorian semi of 1850 square feet (excluding the loft space, which could be developed, with relevant permissions).
Find the house just a nine minute walk from Hither Green Station, and close to cafes and conveniences. There is permit parking on the local streets, and also the possibility very locally to rent a garage.
Over the two expansive, high-ceilinged floors, you have three double bedrooms, one single bedroom, two independent reception rooms and a delightful kitchen/dining room. Plus an upstairs bathroom with shower and bath, and a downstairs w.c.
The exacting attention to detail and impressive restoration and enhancements throughout the property - under the current owner’s direction and design - are both careful and beautiful. The renovation is incredibly thorough: Wiring, plastering, plumbing, oil waxed floors and new wood sash krypton filled slim profile double glazing.
The aesthetic is on point: Exposed brickwork, lime pointing and plaster (to allow the property to breathe), and a sympathetic Little Greene decorative scheme are some of our favourite decisions.
The property has side access (great for gardening, cycles and guests) and front and rear gardens; the deep rear walled garden is delightful and a real haven for wildlife - as is the front garden (and it’s worth noting that the front garden has the potential to be reworked, creating an off street parking bay). The rear garden - mature, sun filled and with a pergola - stretches over 75 feet into the side return.
A charming walled front garden sets you back from the pavement. In the original timber front door (swoon at the leadlights) and you land in a very wide hall with stripped Osmo oil-waxed floors underfoot. This sets the handsome scene to the sweeping staircase.
To your right is the formal front bay-windowed reception room of over 16 feet by nearly 13. Old school style radiators, white walls and original marble fireplace are welcome features.
Adjacent is a second reception; a wood-burning/coal burning stove is newly installed here with another original marble fireplace. French (timber-framed) doors open into a quaint conservatory which then delivers you to the wide side return area of the garden.
Heading through the hall, the access to the cellar is on your left; this space offers good storage.
Completing the ground floor, is the double-aspect kitchen/dining room. It stretches over 20 feet by over 10 and has timeless white fitted units and a huge built-in cupboard with appliances and shelving for your tea station (no more kettles and toasters out on work surfaces!) with reclaimed stripped pine doors. Stripped, locally-reclaimed (1865) and original boards grace the kitchen area, leading to the charming and practical original quarry tiles for the dining area and access to the garden. A charming downstairs cloak room sits at the far end of the room, with high level flush and original Victorian mahogany toilet seat. French doors and a single door deliver you out to the established garden which gets sun all day due to its easterly direction (with a good twist of south) orientation which hits the front of the house by lunchtime - so giving you sun all day.
The garden has a large lawn plus paved areas, and includes an unoverlooked shower area with copper fittings on original York Stone slabs with drainage grate, surrounded by a mature jasmine shrub.
Up the stairs and the first back bedroom (a double, of 14 feet by 10) with vaulted ceiling and bonus skylight window sits to the rear of the house. Take in the garden and birdsong from here.
Next door is the marble-floored bathroom with underfloor heating which has both walk-in shower and free-standing cast iron bath with contemporary shower and tap fittings, and original copper towel rail and added solar powered Velux window.
Up to the landing proper and three bedrooms await. At the front you have the glorious bay-windowed master, complete with a built-in original alcove wardrobe, and an adjoining single bedroom (their respective sizes are 16 feet by 12 feet, and 10 feet by 8).
Behind the master, with garden views, is the fourth and double bedroom of 14 feet by 12 with shelving and further fireplace.
Hither Green is becoming increasingly popular with young professionals and families alike for its combination of fast commute to the City and Canary Wharf, leafy disposition and village-vibe. 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. Buses 181/225 take you almost to the door, and Lewisham Station is on the Bakerloo Line extension plan.
Really locally, you have a Co-Op and Mission Green Organic Food shop. Drink at Bob's and Good Hope Cafe plus a new independent florist are popular destinations 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 (six minutes) for main shops M&S, Sainsbury's, Starbucks etc. And the daily market.
If you have little ones or they are on the horizon, Brindishe Manor School (Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’) is a five minute walk from the house.
Green space? Lewisham Park and Mountsfield Parks are you most local parks, and Ladywell and Hilly Fields are a 10 minute walk or walk/bus/cycle/drive to nearby Greenwich Park and unesco World Heritage Site, or Blackheath Common. Don't forget trendy Brockley Market on Saturday's at Lewisham College for all things fresh and organic!
