An Elegant Victorian Semi, Tastefully Updated With The Best Of 21st Century Design. This imposing Victorian residence combines classic period charm with a stunning and sociable modern kitchen, gorgeous bathrooms and a thoughtfully landscaped garden.

If you’re looking for a spacious and versatile family home in a convenient location, this tastefully updated Victorian semi-detached could be perfect.

Its timeless period features have been sympathetically restored, leaving only the kitchen, bathrooms and landscaped back garden to benefit from thoroughly 21st century upgrades.

You get your first glimpse of the 19th century style and attention to detail even before you step inside, with beautiful mosaic tiles on the path leading to the front door, with an elegant arched lintel.

The visual treat will continue when you step inside, as beautiful Bert & May floor tiles will draw your eyes to the stunning kitchen / diner / family room at the rear.

In contrast to the timeless classic design used in the hall, the kitchen is thoroughly modern. The addition of an L-shaped rear extension has allowed the creation of a stunning space which is bound to become the social hub of the home.

It’s a fabulous room where friends and family will love getting together and chefs will become inspired by the bespoke German fitted kitchen with Dekton worktops, top of the range Gaggenau appliances and a Quooker tap.

It’s a light and bright space, with a large roof lantern, rear window and sliding doors to the garden letting plenty of natural light flood into the room.

When you open the floor to ceiling length doors the sun-trap garden becomes an extension to the living area, it will be perfect for summer BBQs and parties.

The garden was professionally landscaped last year, to make the most of the southeast facing orientation, with new composite decking, a choice of seating areas and lawn.

Everyone will love getting together at the rear of the house, which makes the spacious bay fronted lounge somewhere that you can escape to relax in peace.

It’s been thoughtfully updated, with modern-but-sympathetic double glazed sash windows (with acoustic glass) and parquet flooring complementing the cast iron radiator and wood burning stove.

The property is practical too - there’s a w/c off the hall and a handy utility room (with access to the side of the home) means none of your precious kitchen space is wasted.

Stairs lead down from the hall to a spacious cellar that provides additional storage space.

The first floor has four bedrooms and the gorgeous four piece family bathroom.

With its luxurious William Holland copper freestanding bath and “his & hers” basins, the bathroom wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel or spa.

There’s a further double bedroom and bathroom on the top floor.

This space has so much potential - many neighbours have added Velux windows or a dormer to make the most of the space, and indeed planning consent was previously given for this; our clients would be happy to share the plans with a prospective buyer.

There’s space to park a couple of cars in front of the property, however the location is so convenient for public transport you may not need a car.

It takes less than five minutes to walk to two stations, with plenty of options to get to Central London from both Catford and Catford Bridge.

If you need to get from Zone 3 to Central London, the journey to London Bridge takes 11 minutes or Charing Cross takes just 21 minutes.

There’s so much to enjoy on your doorstep, as it’s only a couple of extra minutes to walk to Rushey Green where there’s the beautiful Grade II listed Broadway Theatre.

Walk on for a few more minutes and you’ll come to Catford Mews with a cool independent cinema, bars and street food vendors.

If you love green space, it’s only a 5 minute walk to join the Waterlink Way, a tranquil walking and cycling route through many parks which goes towards Beckenham Place Park and beyond.

As this is a family-friendly property, it’s good to know that there’s a fantastic choice of local schools nearby.

Rathfern Primary School is closest, it’s only a couple of streets away and rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted.

Actually that’s not strictly true. The closest independent co-educational school is the highly respected St Dunstan’s College day school. It’s literally opposite the house, with the first floor front bedroom benefitting from views of their substantial playing fields.

This beautifully restored and updated property is bound to appeal to a wide range of discerning buyers, looking for a substantial family home in a fantastic, convenient location.
