St. Asaph Road, London SE4

A characterful Victorian home surrounded by green space, independent favourites and excellent transport connections.

Set within one of Brockley’s most appealing residential pockets, this handsome Victorian mid-terrace is a home that combines period character, generous proportions and an enviable lifestyle location.

With both Brockley and Nunhead stations around a seven-minute walk away, London is remarkably accessible, while the surrounding neighbourhood offers the best of South East London living. Mornings can begin with coffee at a local independent( we like Good as Gold, Nus nus and Yume, afternoons can be spent wandering through Nunhead Cemetery or Telegraph Hill Park, and evenings are easily filled with the area’s much-loved restaurants, bars and traditional pubs (we love Skehans). Hilly Fields and Peckham Rye Park are also within easy reach, providing yet more open space to escape to.

Inside, the house has an abundance of Victorian charm, with original details including ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and fireplaces, original wood flooring giving the rooms a wonderful sense of character. The accommodation is generously proportioned, extending to approximately 1,554 sq ft, with three substantial double bedrooms, two reception rooms, two bathrooms and a 25ft long kitchen diner.

For those looking to put their own stamp on the property, there is also exciting potential to extend, including into the loft and via the side return, subject of course to the necessary permissions. The result could be a significantly larger home while retaining the period character that makes the property so appealing.

Ultimately, this is a home for enjoying a slower, more connected side of London, where village-like neighbourhood life, abundant green space, excellent transport and the energy of the city are all within easy reach.
