3 bed property for sale

Cottingham Road, Penge, London SE20

Propertyworld is delighted to present this spacious three-bedroom Edwardian family home on the ever-popular Cottingham Road, Penge. The property is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain.

Bursting with natural light and character, this much-loved property has been in the same family for over 55 years, serving as a very happy and cherished home. It sits among excellent neighbours who create a warm, friendly, and supportive community – making this an ideal setting for family life.

On the ground floor, the front reception boasts a classic bay window, filling the room with sunlight and providing an inviting living space. The rear reception has been opened into the kitchen, creating a sociable and versatile area that flows directly onto the pretty east-facing garden – a wonderful spot for morning coffee or summer gatherings.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms: Two comfortable doubles and a good-sized single, alongside a bathroom currently arranged as a wet room. With a little updating, this could easily be reconfigured into a contemporary three-piece suite. The large loft offers further scope – many neighbouring houses have converted to create a fourth bedroom. Throughout the property, all windows are double glazed.

Cottingham Road is one of Penge’s most sought-after residential addresses, perfectly positioned for family living. Several mainline stations are within easy walking distance – including Penge East, Penge West, and Clock House – providing fast and convenient links into London. Crystal Palace Park, with its award-winning green spaces, is also nearby, while Penge High Street offers a vibrant mix of cafes, gastropubs, and independent shops. Beckenham and Crystal Palace are only minutes away by car, adding to the superb connectivity and lifestyle on offer.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Edwardian home with huge potential, in a location that truly delivers the best of Penge living.

"This has been in our family for over 55 years, and is a much loved home full of happy memories. The location is fantastic with shops close by and numerous stations. Perhaps the most special thing about the house is the sense of community in Cottingham Road, and in particular the neighbours who are considerate and caring and have been residents for many years too. I hope the new owners love the house as much as my family have!"
