House For Sale £900,000
This handsome three-bedroom Victorian house lies on Alma Grove, within the Thorburn Square conservation area in Bermondsey. The house has been subject to a wonderful renovation in recent months, in which the current owners have carefully preserved the home’s period features while introducing fun pops of colour and thoughtful contemporary interventions. At the rear of the house is a west-facing garden, stretching to 60ft in length and home to an abundance of plants.
The Tour
The house is set back from the road behind cast-iron railings that enclose a front patio. The ground floor entrance opens to a central corridor, which leads the way to a spacious open-plan living and dining area. The current owners have sensitively preserved and restored the period features here, including the sliding shutter on the arched sash window at the front of the plan. There are whitewashed walls and sanded original floorboards run underfoot.
The living areas seamlessly flow into the contemporary kitchen, where cabinets have been painted an earthy red and colourful terrazzo extends underfoot. Natural light pours in through the box window that faces the garden pathway beyond. Leading on from the kitchen is a sizeable family bathroom, recently fitted by the current owners with a brand-new bathroom suite and underfloor heating. The large sunny garden can be accessed via a back door that opens from the kitchen.
Three beautifully bright, sizeable bedrooms lie upstairs. The main bedroom is positioned at the front of the plan and has two double sash windows that overlook the quiet, leafy Alma Grove beyond. The second and third bedrooms each have a sash window and glorious views over the garden at the rear.
Outdoor Space
The wonderfully quiet and secluded garden is home to several mature trees and beautifully planted borders. There is a shed for storage and a large, impeccably manicured lawn at the centre.
The Area
Alma Grove is a quiet tree-lined street situated only a short walk from the lively bustle of central London. Bermondsey has undergone a significant transformation in recent years and is now full of archways containing independent food sellers and wholesalers.
The Little Bread Pedlar, The Kernel Brewery and The Butchery are all a 10-minute walk away, while nearby Druid Street is popular for its independent delis, bars and restaurants including St John’s bakery arch. Maltby Street market is also in close proximity and home to excellent grocery shops, a Saturday food market and renowned independent wine seller and restaurant 40 Maltby Street. Further afield is Bermondsey street, home to White Cube Bermondsey and Zandra Rhodes’ Fashion & Textile Museum. Other excellent nearby restaurants include Café Murano, Pizarro, Jose Tapas, Casse Croute and Pique-Nique.
The closest underground station is Bermondsey (Jubilee Line), which runs direct services to central and south London. There are plenty of bus routes in the area.
