Manwood Road, Brockley, SE4

Smart Victorian terraced house of 1280 square feet, with five double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a sunny west-facing garden of circa 50 feet.

Find your new home on a popular residential street near Ladywell Fields and Blythe Hill Fields, just a short stroll from a trio of stations: Crofton Park, Catford and Ladywell (walk 8, 11 and 12 minutes).

You're also close to a clutch of good primary and secondary schools - including Stillness and Prendergast Ladywell.

From your hall, first find two formal reception rooms to your left; both with stripped wooden floors. The front room is 14 feet by over 10 feet, with custom-made window shutters, a period feature fireplace (with tiled hearth), alcove book-shelving, and coving, picture rail and ceiling rose detail.

The second reception - a natural dining room - has a beautiful built-in original cupboard to one alcove, and fitted shelving to the other. Double-glazed French doors deliver you to the side-return area of the garden.

On through and you've got a smart fitted kitchen with wooden worktops. Beyond is the main bathroom with a modern white suite, over-bath shower, and three double-glazed windows.

Up to the first floor, there is a double bedroom from the half-landing, to garden views. It is over 11 feet by over 8 feet.

From the landing proper, a second double rests to your right (this one is over 11 feet by over 8 feet, with an original feature fireplace) and a large master bedroom fronts the house - of over 13 feet by over 14 feet. Welcome features in here include stripped and varnished boards to the floor, another feature fireplace, and bespoke window shutters.

The second floor hosts a fourth bedroom with regular window plus roof light (currently enjoyed as a dressing room), and a large master suite with contemporary en suite shower room, loads of easily-accessible eaves storage, and a Juliet balcony.

What's around? You're well place here for access to a few town centres/high street areas. Your closest is Crofton Park - with a multitude of cute cafes (we like Fred's and Elsewhere, and Jones of Brockley for luxury groceries) and The Rivoli Ballroom (movie and themed dance nights here).

Ladywell has a pleasing high street offering, too, with delights such as Meat Jon (butcher - you've also got a Proud Sow near you, on Ewhurst Road), The Larder (deli) and Oscar's for coffee. A new wine bar with food is coming soon (Wilson's).

Honor Oak and Brockley are close as well; check out Miss Margherita pizzeria and cafe plus Honor Oak Provender in the former, and Ellary's and Brickfields in the latter.

Green spaces? Beyond those already mentioned, you also have Hilly Fields, and Brockley and Ladywell cemeteries within easy reach.
