About this home

Beautiful two-bedroom period maisonette, fully renovated throughout to an exceptionally high standard, combining original character with refined contemporary finishes. In through your own front door, and immediately the quality is evident: original wood flooring, column radiators, and a full Farrow & Ball paint scheme create a cohesive, elegant feel. First on your left is the main sitting room - a sophisticated space painted in ‘Downpipe’, with large sash windows and plantation shutters delivering excellent natural light. A log burner sits centre stage, and two bespoke fitted storage units add both charm and practicality. Moving along, your bespoke shaker-style kitchen impresses with its timeless cabinetry and Belfast sink. The finish is crisp, classic, and beautifully executed - a kitchen that feels both functional and genuinely delightful to spend time in. Your principal bedroom sits peacefully to the rear, finished in ‘Peignoir’, with plantation shutters and bespoke built-in storage. The second bedroom, painted in ‘Oval Room Blue’, also benefits from custom storage and works perfectly as a guest room, nursery, or stylish home office. At the top of the stairs, further bespoke storage has been cleverly integrated - ideal for linens, luggage, or seasonal items. The south-west facing private garden is a standout feature. Sun from midday through to the evening gives you bright afternoons and warm sunset light. It’s fully landscaped, with a patio area, raised decking with built-in seating, two large Corten steel planters with bamboo, and even an apple tree. A genuinely charming outdoor space. What’s around? Plenty. St David’s Coffee House, Krust Bakery, and Beetroot & Beans are all close by for morning coffees and fresh produce. For pubs, you have Blythe Hill Tavern, The Sylvan Post, and The Honor Oak. The Horniman Museum & Gardens is a local favourite for weekend strolls. Forest Hill station (London Overground) gives you direct links to London Bridge (c.15 min), Shoreditch High Street (c.20 min), Canada Water, and Whitechapel. Crofton Park station is a short walk or a 7minute bus ride from the end of the road - direct to Farringdon (c.25 min) with Elizabeth line and Thameslink connections. The 185 and 122 buses run from the end of the road, covering Forest Hill, Dulwich, Camberwell, Victoria, Lewisham, and Crystal Palace. Share of freehold.
