House For Sale £750,000
This wonderful three-bedroom house extends over 910 sq ft and lies in a perennially popular enclave of southeast London, equidistant from Brockley, St Johns and New Cross. It has a terraced garden, which is a veritable sun-trap, and the current owners have recently renovated throughout to create an open, light-filled home spread over the two storeys. The typically 1920s façade on Shardeloes Road belies the extensive contemporary renovations within.
The Tour
The house presents a smart façade to the street, painted in a contemporary palette of neutrals; all of the windows and the front door have either been replaced or refurbished. Entrance is to a large hallway, which extends through the footprint of the house, all the way to the kitchen at the rear. A living room lies to the right of the hall; this is illuminated throughout the day by light that streams in through the south-westerly aspect. Many original features have been retained, including a glazed-brick, art deco fireplace.
The rear of the ground floor contains a spacious, open-plan kitchen and dining room. This has been thoughtfully realised by the current owner, who has laid hardwood floors and utilised a neutral palette to create a considered, contemporary space. The kitchen is L-shaped in plan and has extensive storage. Large sliding doors open onto a small patio where decked steps lead up to the garden; light entering through the doors bathes the interior space with light and blurs the boundary between indoor and out. A guest bathroom adjoins the kitchen at the rear.
An original staircase leads up to the first floor, where three bedrooms can be found; one of these is currently used as an office. There is a family bathroom fitted with white porcelain tiles; the neutral palette found downstairs continues across this floor.
Outdoor Space
The garden has been recently refurbished; all wooden elements were installed this year. The elevated seating area is a true sun-trap and a lovely spot for alfresco dining, with flagstones underfoot that ensure the space is suitably versatile and low-maintenance. Mature bamboo at the rear adds texture and a dash of greenery.
The Area
Shardeloes Road lies in a thriving London neighbourhood with a growing cultural profile. A short walk from St Johns, New Cross and Nunhead, with Deptford, Greenwich and Peckham slightly further afield, it is swiftly becoming one of the most fashionable parts of southeast London. The area surrounding Shardeloes Road has a range of cafes, pubs and restaurants including Good as Gold, Sparrow, Joyce and Marcella. There are plenty of green spaces nearby, including Nunhead Cemetery, Peckham Rye and Hilly Fields.
There is a renowned farmers’ market every Saturday at Brockley Market, offering a wide range of organic produce, alongside food trucks and wine merchants. Deptford Market Yard, a recently launched collection of independent shops and restaurants set within and around Deptford’s refurbished railway arches, is nearby. Goldsmiths University is within walking distance, and will soon open the doors to its new gallery, designed by Turner-prize winning architects Assemble.
The house is an eight-minute walk from Brockley Station, which runs services to London Bridge in 12 minutes. Frequent Overground services also run from Brockley for connections to Peckham, Shoreditch and Highbury & Islington. St John’s station is a 15-minute walk with trains to Cannon Street in 14 minutes.
