Marmora Road, London

This marvelous six bedroom period palace stands proudly on the lovely Marmora Road. Generous in proportion, feature and finish the property is presented beautifully and enjoys large gardens to both front and rear. The interior is meticulously maintained and enjoys a perfect mix of original charm and modern convenience.

High gates open from the street into a double off street parking bay. Strong steps lead elegantly up to a classic portico entrance with original stained glass doorway. Tasteful flooring, high ceilings and original cornicing await you inside. A grand double reception beckons you to the right where you'll meet with a wide front aspect bay of sash windows, original marble mantel and fireplace and spectacular cast iron period stove. Stained timber floors compliment the neutral wall shades and yet more decorative cornicing dances overhead.

Back on the other side of the hall is another smaller reception with much the same finish, fitted storage and imposing marble fireplace with tiled hearth. To the rear of this room you'll find a further reception with fireplace. A rectangular arch opens to the rear of the space into a most impressive L shaped kitchen/diner. Offering enough space to host a banquet, the room sparkles with natural light owing to a vaulted glass ceiling. The cooking area doesn't fail to stand out with a massive marble clad central island, deep ceramic butler sink and fabulous recessed gas range. There's more counter and cabinet space that even Delia would struggle to make use of and double doors to the rear patio.

The garden is split level and truly enchanting. A bricked patio tempts you up winding steps to a raised cobbled platform which features an ivy covered summer house. Further steps lead to a children’s play area and shed. There's a decent sized lawn and a host of shrub beds which all combine to create the perfect haven.

Back in the kitchen you'll discover the far side of the cooking area leads to a sizeable utility room with fitted shelving, nifty pull out larder, Neff Oven, Aeg ice maker and Gorenye wine cooler. There's further garden access and the room curls around to meet with the double reception. The rear of the hall hosts a handy guest w.c and access to the head height cellar (as if you didn't have enough room). Heading upwards rewards you with a wide and bright return that offers a further guest w.c, funky separate shower room and deep airing cupboard. A few steps further find you on the first floor landing. The master room fronts the leafy street with three large sash windows and an original fireplace. A magnificent en suite adjoins to the rear with fitted storage, inset bath, marble top wash hand basin and walk in shower. The second double also faces front with yet more fitted storage and a fireplace. A third bedroom looks over the garden.

The second return invites you to be pampered in a super cool jet feature bath tub. Another walk in shower and contemporary suite maintain the tone nicely. The last climb on our tour brings you to the second floor which promises three further generously proportioned double bedrooms, one of which enjoys a dressing room.

This end of Marmora Road is a virtual cul-de-sac; Homestall Road at the eastern end is like a country lane leading down to Peckham Rye Park and you will find blackberries for the picking in the Autumn! You are a ten minute walk from Honor Oak station (you can use the rear garden gate into Brenchley Gardens and have a very rustic walk to the station) with fast and frequent trains to London Bridge, Victoria and, after 8pm, Charing Cross. The East London Line is also tootling its way to Forest Hill by 2010 vastly increasing the area's connectivity to the tube network. All the Dulwich Foundation Schools are within a short drive time and there are plenty of good local shops within five minutes walk in Forest Hill Road.
