Colfe Road, SE23 2ES

A beautifully refurbished two-bedroom period maisonette with a private landscaped rear garden, combining sophisticated modern living with an abundance of retained period character and charm.

Situated on the sought-after Colfe Road, this impressive ground-floor maisonette has been thoughtfully refurbished throughout to a high standard, creating a stylish and welcoming home while retaining many of the original features that give the property its character.

Approached via a well-maintained front garden, the property has its own private entrance leading into a generous hallway with stripped and varnished wooden flooring and useful under-stair storage. There is also a large Asgard bike store, providing secure storage for up to three bicycles.

The spacious front reception room is a particularly attractive feature, measuring almost 4m square and filled with natural light from the large square bay window, which is fitted with plantation shutters. High ceilings, exposed and varnished wooden floorboards, a pretty period fireplace and bespoke shelving within the alcoves combine to create a wonderfully characterful room.

There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from bespoke floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, high ceilings, exposed wooden floorboards and a large double-glazed window overlooking the rear. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double room with a window overlooking the side return and stripped and varnished floorboards.

The stylish family bathroom has been finished in a contemporary style and features a panel-enclosed bath with mixer tap and overhead shower, glass shower screen, fixed wash basin with vanity unit, low-level WC, powered extractor fan and attractive mosaic tiled flooring.

Towards the rear of the property is the superb open-plan kitchen/dining room, providing an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is flooded with natural light thanks to its dual aspect, with a window overlooking the side return and French doors opening directly onto the garden. The L-shaped Shaker-style kitchen features an excellent range of matching wall and base units, integrated appliances, a four-ring gas hob with extractor hood, electric oven and a beautiful butler sink positioned beneath the side window. There is also a tall larder unit incorporating an integrated fridge freezer, while the generous layout provides plenty of space for a dining table and chairs.

The private east-facing rear garden is accessed directly from the kitchen/diner and has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive and low-maintenance outdoor space. With raised flower beds and a sandstone patio, it is a lovely extension of the living space and an ideal spot for alfresco dining and entertaining during the warmer months. Further benefits include double glazing throughout, gas central heating, wooden flooring, excellent storage, a private entrance and a beautifully considered blend of contemporary finishes and original period features.

The property is located approximately 0.7 miles from Forest Hill station, providing excellent transport links into London Bridge, Canada Water, Shoreditch, Whitechapel, Highbury & Islington and beyond, with Victoria also accessible via the Overground and connections. Colfe Road is also within easy reach of a fantastic selection of independent cafés, restaurants, coffee shops, gastro pubs and other local amenities.

The area is particularly popular with families thanks to its strong sense of community, highly regarded schools and abundance of green open spaces. Nearby schools include Dalmain, Kilmorie, St William of York and the renowned St Dunstan’s College. Independent cafés, restaurants, pubs and shops can be found throughout Honor Oak Park, Brockley Rise and Forest Hill, while Blythe Hill Fields, One Tree Hill and Horniman Gardens are all within walking distance, offering beautiful open spaces and panoramic views across London.
