PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

A delightful 2 double bedroom FREEHOLD mid-century terraced cottage, located on this popular residential street conveniently located between Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park stations. The house has been lovingly renovated by the current owners, including a 41ft (13m) private landscaped rear garden, double glazing throughout and a bonus attic room.

The house is set back from the street by a tidy walled front garden which has a lawn bordered by plants and shrubs with a pathway leading to the front door.

Upon entry there is an entrance hall housing the staircase and access to the living room.

The lounge has been nicely decorated with wood effect flooring, high level shelving, storage under the stairs and a window that has a pleasant outlook to the front garden and has been furnished with plantation shutters.

To the rear of the house is a well-appointed kitchen dining room. The kitchen sits to one side of the room with plenty of cupboards, an integrated electric hob with oven below with space for a washing machine and drier. Wooden worktops sit against a stylish metro tiled splash back and the sink is located beneath a window that looks out to the garden. Directly above is a skylight that offers additional light and ventilation.

The dining area has enough space for a table and 4 chairs; more high-level shelving offers character and additional storage space. Large double glazed French doors offer a nice view to the garden as well as direct access to a neat, raised composite deck that is ideal for a morning coffee or al fresco dining in the warmer months.

The garden is a very good size extending to 41ft (13m) in length with a lawn area that is bordered by mature planters, to the rear of the garden is a vegetable plot, a shed and another patio area that is a sun trap. A gate to the rear offers useful access to a side road, handy for those with green fingers or bicycles.

Upstairs on the first floor is a good size double bedroom that is located at the front of the house with wood effect flooring, high level shelving and a window furnished with plantation shutters.

The second bedroom is at the rear of the house with nice views over the garden, has more high level shelving. It's currently being used as a spare room and study but could also make a good kids bedroom.

Adjacent is the bathroom which is fully tiled in stylish metro tiles and grey floor tiles. The bath has a shower attachment above and is accompanied by a toilet and a wash hand basin that has a vanity unit below and a mirrored cabinet above. More high level shelving is very useful for storage and featuring items.

The attic has been renovated with skylights installed to create a functional and usable space with plenty of additional storage in the eaves (floorspace not included on the plans). It is accessible from a pull-down loft ladder in the hallway and is currently being used as an additional workspace by the current owners. The loft can be converted in the future to create a third bedroom (subject to planning).

This lovely home sits towards the end of Garthorne Road and is across the road from the entrance to Garthorne Road Nature Reserve! It's almost equidistant to both Honor Oak Park station and Forest Hill station, both just under 10 mins walk, where there are regular services to London Bridge (around 15mins) as well as London Overground services to Shoreditch and Highbury and Islington. The trendy high streets of both areas boast a range of independent shops, cafes, bars, a deli and several highly recommended restaurants.
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 good selection of highly rated primary schools nearby including Stillness Primary School and Dalmain Primary School.
