PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

SATURDAY VIEWINGS PREFERRED. Located on the first floor of this handsome Victorian terraced house is this beautifully presented 2 double bedroom first floor flat that offers almost 750 sq ft of floorspace, double glazing throughout and is being sold with a share of freehold.

Garthorne Road is a very peaceful residential street thanks to being no entry from one end but still accessible for pedestrians and cyclists. This house is located at the Honor Oak Park end allowing easy access to the station which has regular Overground services and connections to London Bridge.

The house has plenty of kerb appeal with its exposed brickwork and detailed masonry around the windows. The property is set back from the street by a small front garden with a pathway leading to the front door that is protected by a porch with detailed woodwork above.

Entrance to the flat is on the ground floor through the well-maintained communal hallway.

Stairs lead upwards to the kitchen breakfast room which has been ingeniously opened up to utilise the hallway space. The kitchen is set to one side with dark solid wood worktops to match the flooring with plenty of white wall and base mounted units above and below. The sink sits neatly under a window to the side and there is a hob with oven below and extractor above.

Occupying the whole of the width of the house is a fabulous front reception room that has high ceilings with cornicing, solid
dark wood flooring, a feature fireplace and large double-glazed windows that fill the room with natural light.

Both bedrooms are good size doubles and fairly equivalent in size both have carpeted flooring. The front bedroom has high ceilings and a feature fireplace with a window looking out to the side return. The bedroom at the far end of the flat has a view out to the rear over gardens and beyond.

The family bathroom is lavishly decorated with dark parquet ceramic flooring complimented by a grey themed wash hand basin with vanity unit below, a grey panelled bathtub with metro tiled walls around the shower above, a contemporary style toilet and a heated towel rail. There is also a double-glazed frosted window offering natural light and ventilation.

Garthorne Road is close to both Honor Oak Park station and Forest Hill where there are regular services to London Bridge (around 15mins) as well as London Overground services to Shoreditch and Highbury and Islington. There is also easy access to the Thameslink line at Crofton Park station or (around 15 mins walk) for Blackfriars, Farringdon and Kings Cross or Catford station for services to Charing Cross. The trendy high streets at Honor Oak Park and Brockley Rise boast a range of independent shops, cafes, bars, a deli and several highly recommended restaurants and pubs. A short walk in the other direction gives access to thriving Forest Hill, with its pubs, independent shops, restaurants and highly regarded gym and swimming pool. Nearby green leafy open spaces can be found at Blythe Hill Fields, One Tree Hill and Horniman Gardens all offering fantastic views of the London skyline. There is also a very good selection of Outstanding and Good primary schools nearby including Dalmain and Stillness primary schools.
