5 bed property for sale

168, Brockley Rise SE23

A substantial five bedroom, 1930s end of terrace home arranged over three floors, with a self-contained garden annex and off-street parking. The house extends to 1,222 sq ft, with a further 255 sq ft in the annex (1,477 sq ft in total), on one of Honor Oak Park’s most popular residential streets. The house has real kerb appeal, with a deep tile-hung gable, a pitched canopy over the front door and plantation shutters to the front windows. A block-paved driveway provides off-street parking, and as an end of terrace there is gated side access. Inside, the 1930s character has been kept. Parquet flooring runs through the hallway and reception rooms, and there is ornate coving, ceiling roses, a decorative cast iron fireplace and a turned timber staircase with barley-twist spindles. From the hallway, the through reception/dining room (26'4 x 11'7) is the heart of the house. A sitting area at the front sits within an arched window recess, and an open archway leads to the dining area at the rear, where patio doors open onto the garden. The galley kitchen has cream cabinetry, a range cooker and a tiled floor, with a door straight out to the garden and a serving hatch to the dining area. There is clear scope to reconfigure the space into a larger kitchen-dining room, subject to the usual consents. The east-facing garden (42' x 19') is laid out for entertaining and catches the morning sun. A paved terrace sits just off the house, with raised brick planters topped with stone finials, and beyond it a lawn with a brick path and a circular paved seating area. Mature hedging and planting give good privacy. At the end of the garden is a self-contained annex (15'10 x 15'10) with its own kitchen area and a marble-tiled shower room. It would suit guests, a home office, or a teenager or relative who wants their own space. On the first floor there are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, the second is a good double, and the third works well as a nursery or study. The family bathroom has a traditional-style suite. A staircase leads to the second floor, where two further bedrooms sit under the eaves, one with a Velux window and eaves storage. They share a bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Brockley Rise is one of Honor Oak Park’s most desirable residential streets, popular with families for its peaceful feel and proximity to highly rated primary schools such as Stillness and Dalmain. Honor Oak Park station is just moments away, offering quick services to London Bridge and Overground connections, while nearby Crofton Park station provides Thameslink services to Blackfriars, Farringdon and King’s Cross. The vibrant high street offers an array of cafes, restaurants, bars, independent shops and a Sainsbury’s Local, while green open spaces such as One Tree Hill, Blythe Hill Fields and the Horniman Gardens are all within easy reach.
