When you step into the hall of this beautiful bay-fronted terrace you may catch a glimpse of the superb modern kitchen / diner at the rear.

That should be your first hint of the contrasting yet complementary styles that work so well together inside this stylish and much improved mid-terrace.

The hall has original wood floors and period features aplenty, much like the two gorgeous reception rooms that have been opened up to create one seamless space to relax.

Looking back from the bay window (with beautifully restored sash windows, of course) past the fabulous cast iron fireplace, you can really appreciate the tastefully timeless way that old and new have been combined.

By way of contrast the stylish kitchen / diner is thoroughly modern and bang up to date.

The early morning light floods through the skylights and glints off the hi-gloss tiled floor and stylish quartz worktops in the morning. Perfect when you’re grabbing a slice of toast and rushing to get out in the morning.

Upstairs has three good size bedrooms and the stylish family bathroom.

The bay-fronted master bedroom is particularly spacious and stylish. It has the original floorboards (again, beautifully restored), fitted wardrobes and still has plenty of room for a king size bed.

The property is practical too. There’s a handy downstairs loo, plenty of space in the basement below (more on that to come) and bike store in the patio garden at the front.

The ground floor and first floor are pretty impressive in their own right, but the spacious basement takes this period property from good to great.

It’s a versatile space with a toilet and shower room as well as a neat coat cupboard and plenty of storage.

It’s currently being used as an office and sitting room but it does give you plenty of options. It would also be ideal as a home cinema, teenagers den or a gym.

The east facing back garden has been designed to be enjoyed. It’s an incredibly low maintenance space, with no-mow astroturf and raised beds.

There’s a choice of places to sit, with a small patio at the far end and another patio that wraps around from the double doors at the back of the kitchen to the side of the house.

A stylish wooden fence has recently been installed to make it a more secluded and private space. That includes a higher section at the far end of the garden to ensure you can’t be seen by passing traffic on the A102.

You’ll love rustling up a tasty meal in your stylish kitchen but if you’ve had a hard day there’s always The Coriander or the Royal Nepalese a couple of minutes walk away on Station Crescent.

You pass these two excellent restaurants / takeaways on the way home from Westcombe Park station, so you can always pick something up for dinner.

You can catch direct westbound trains from here to Greenwich (for the DLR to Canary Wharf), London Bridge, Cannon Street, Blackfriars, or Kings Cross.

And you’ve got plenty of other public transport options.

It’s only seven minutes to Woolwich for the Elizabeth Line or DLR and three buses run from across the road to North Greenwich station for the Jubilee Line.

And if you’re heading north of the river by car, being close to the A102 makes it quick & easy to head through the Blackwall Tunnel.

But you may not choose to venture too far from home - there's so much to enjoy nearby.

It’s only a short walk up the hill to Blackheath Standard which has a good choice of pubs, cafés and independent shops, along with M&S.

It’s a 20 minute walk into Blackheath Village across the Heath or you can hop on the bus. There’s an even better choice of great shops, pubs, restaurants and coffee shops here, with direct trains to Charing Cross and Victoria.

If you need to work up an appetite, tire out the kids or walk the dog it’s only a 20 minute walk to Greenwich Park.

Being a family friendly property it’s good to know that there’s plenty of great schools nearby. Both Halstow Primary and Invicta Primary are rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted. Halstow Primary is closest - it’s only 2 minutes in the car or less than a 10 minute walk away.

Older kids have a little further to travel but The John Roan School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only a 20 minute walk or a 7 minute bike ride away.

This superb period property has been tastefully updated to create a spacious and versatile home - with the added bonus of the fantastic basement.

You’ll love the convenience of the location and you’re sure to receive a warm welcome into the close Westcombe Park community.

We're expecting plenty of interest in this gorgeous property so don’t miss out - call to arrange a private viewing.
