2 bed Flat For Sale £325,000
***Guide Price £325,000-£350,000***
A beautiful ground floor flat converted from a terraced Victorian house on Engleheart Road - being sold chain free.
Situated three quarters of the way up Engleheart Road, bordering the tree lined ‘Culverley Green (Catford) Conservation Area’ (with the most expensive houses in Catford!), Engleheart is in the ‘cottage style terraced section’ of the Victorian ‘Corbett Estate’ - a luxury private development built between 1885-1911 by Archibald Corbett, mainly consisting of large family houses.
Corbett developed the estate after purchasing 278 acres of land from the Earl of St. Germans, intending to take advantage of the new railway station (Hither Green), which he considered vital for the links to Central London.
Many of the estate’s road names are Scottish reflecting Corbett’s ancestry. Corbett included shopping parades (like the popular one only 250 metres from this house on Sangley Road), churches, schools & recreation grounds, and even donated a library (on Torridon Road) in 1907 – all of which are still there.
Family butchers (David Oakman & Sons) on Muirkirk (rated 5* on Google) as well as a local organic shop and deli called 'Good Food' on Sandhurst are an example of the traditions continuing, mixed in with Catford's proudly diverse selection of more modern options.
Corbett was a ‘temperance reformer’, and these facilities reflect his wish to establish a sound & balanced community environment, even insisting on an embargo on the sale of alcohol (so no rowdy old man pubs!) – but some cool and funky ones like ‘Ninth Life’ are in Catford Centre.
The property itself includes two generous bedrooms (originally reception rooms), a newly refurbished bathroom separating them, living room at the end of the hall & an extended kitchen at the rear – which has brand new units with appliances to be included.
Catford or Catford Bridge Stations are extremely convenient - Catford Bridge for the Lewisham to London Bridge line and Catford links into Blackfriars and has a selection of fast trains to London Victoria.
Catford Centre is also part of a regeneration plan, and is now one of the most talked about capital appreciation ‘hotspots’ of London, especially now that Lewisham has been named ‘London’s Borough of Culture’ - which Catford has played a strong role in.
Chain free sale, with legal forms ready - so early viewing advised!
