4 bed terraced house for sale

Muirkirk Road, London SE6

Set within the ever-desirable Corbett Estate, this elevated four-bedroom Victorian home captures everything that makes the area so special, timeless charm, generous space, and a real sense of community.

Built at the turn of the 20th century, the house beautifully marries period character with a considered, Scandi-style modern touch. Beyond its distinguished Victorian façade lies a light-filled, brilliantly designed open-plan kitchen and living space, four well-proportioned bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms. The loft conversion is a highlight of this property, with a cleverly designed, wood clad balcony overlooking the lush greenery of Abbotshall Fields and a sun-drenched garden, complete with summer house.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space forms the vibrant heart of the home, a beautifully balanced blend of Victorian scale and modern design. Pale cabinetry and natural wood surfaces keep the space bright and calm, while dark floorboards add warmth and contrast. A generous dining area flows seamlessly into a relaxed family living space, framed by high ceilings and large windows that draw in natural light. Thoughtful touches give the room a creative, contemporary edge, making it perfect for both everyday family life and effortless entertaining.

Upstairs, four bright and tranquil bedrooms offer plenty of flexibility for family life. The main bedroom enjoys a sweeping bay window and soft morning light, while the loft extension provides a spacious top-floor suite with far-reaching views over Abbotshall Fields. A sleek shower room complements this space, while the family bathroom below combines function with a cool, creative finish.

Muirkirk Road forms part of the historic Corbett Estate, a collection of tree-lined streets created by Victorian builder and philanthropist Archibald Cameron Corbett. His vision for generous homes, wide roads, and green outlooks has shaped one of south-east London’s most enduringly popular neighbourhoods. The area continues to attract families, creatives, and professionals drawn to its architecture, community spirit, and excellent local schools.

Overlooking Abbotshall Fields, the road enjoys an enviable position. The park is a true local landmark, home to a friendly café, weekend football, and a play area for younger children. It’s a real community hub, with fitness classes, baby groups, and regular events that bring neighbours together, an extension of the Corbett spirit that makes this such a special place to live.
