A beautifully renovated family home that has been thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners, Filip and Stella, over the past 4 years - only now being sold to be closer to family. This stunning four/five bedroom semi detached house offers a perfect blend of modern convenience and timeless style, making it an ideal choice for a growing family.

Why Should You Buy Me?

When Filip and Stella purchased this home, they were really drawn to the charm of the area.

The house, built in 1951 (confirmed with a date etched in the chimney render in the loft!) required modernisation, providing Filip & Stella with a blank canvas to create their dream home. Since then, they have made extensive improvements, ensuring no stone was left unturned! (A DM from Filip & Stella is below this basic overview).

Extensions include a double-storey side extension, a single-storey rear extension, and a dormer loft extension, all completed with proper permissions and certifications.

The property has also undergone a complete rewire and replumbing, with a new Worcester Bosch boiler installed in 2022. The central heating system has been upgraded with underfloor heating on the ground floor and new radiators on the upper floors. Additionally, the home features new windows, doors, and a completely new roof. The entire property has been re-insulated and rendered, enhancing its energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.

Key Features of the Home Include:

Modern Kitchen and Dining Area: The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, featuring a custom kitchen in midnight blue, and top-of-the-line appliances - perfect for entertaining, with a large island for meal preparation and casual hosting sessions.

Stylish Bathrooms: The property boasts two beautifully appointed bathrooms and a ground-floor WC, all newly fitted with modern fixtures and finishes.

Spacious Bedrooms: The first floor offers three generous double bedrooms, a versatile fourth bedroom that can serve as a study or guest room and a huge loft extended main bedroom - which is currently fitted out with its own separate kitchen and is let.

Outdoor Space: The South facing garden is beautifully tranquil, ideal for relaxing all year round. It has been fully landscaped, featuring a new shed, an irrigation system, and plenty of space for gardening or play. The front of the house includes a widened and repaved driveway that accommodates two cars, along with a newly installed electric vehicle charger.

Additional Upgrades: ADT burglar alarm and excellent internet connectivity with access to a 1GB Openreach network.

Local Amenities and Transport: The home is conveniently located near Albany Park Station, offering easy access to London Bridge in 25 minutes and other central London destinations. It's also close to excellent local schools, including Hurst Primary School, Royal Park Primary School, Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School, and Beths Grammar School. The area boasts a range of parks, including Foots Cray Meadows, Danson Park, and Hall Place - all of which are lovely family friendly spaces.
