What If Your Next Move Gave You More Space And An Easier Family Life? This Edwardian family home is only a short walk from a choice of sought after schools, so you’ll have more time to enjoy three floors of stylish space, with a top floor master suite / cinema room and a private garden with parking.

Weekday mornings will look very different from here during term time. No scrambling across town, no back-to-back school runs eating into your day - just a short walk to the school gates and perhaps time left over for a quick ‘Good As Gold’ coffee before work.

All that extra time will matter to busy families because there's a lot to come home to.

The ground floor has a spacious bay-fronted living room at the front. At the back, the kitchen and dining room were opened into one bright, sociable space back in 2011, perfect for cooking, eating and gathering all in the same generous room. French doors open to the low maintenance back garden for the days when everyone spills outside.

The house is unusually wide and square for its age - it’s just over seven metres across, which you’ll certainly notice upstairs - it gives every room a sense of proportion you don't always find in a period property. 

The first floor has two good-sized double bedrooms, a third single, a small office and a four piece family bathroom with both a bath and a walk-in shower.

The loft was converted in 2020 with a dormer and Velux windows, and it's currently set up as a cinema room, complete with projector screen, surround sound and red curtains for the full picture-house effect (fixtures tbd). With its own ensuite, walk-in shower and eaves storage, it works just as well as a private main bedroom suite.

Outside, the back garden has been kept low maintenance and practical, with paving, a shed and double gates onto secure off-road parking if you need it - genuinely useful even though there’s never usually a problem finding a space on the street.

The windows throughout were refurbished in 2017 with new double glazing, weights and sashes, so the character stays but the draughts don't. 

John Stainer and Ivydale primary schools are both under a five-minute walk away, with Hollydale and Edmund Waller close behind, plus Haberdashers Aske's within easy reach for older children.

Brockley and Nunhead have both grown into genuinely sociable places to live over the past few years, with independent cafés, restaurants and pubs on every corner and Telegraph Hill Park close by for weekend walks. 

Brockley and Nunhead stations are both less than a 10 minute walk away, putting Victoria, Blackfriars and London Bridge within easy reach, with a change at Whitechapel for the Elizabeth line.

If you've been looking for a family home that gives you space to grow into and a handy location where you’ll actually have the time to enjoy it, this three storey Edwardian mid-terrace is well worth a look.
