5 bedroom house for sale

Large and light extended and architecturally-treated five bed, two bath extended Victorian house, with a wide west-facing garden, two entrances, and off-street parking.

Walk just four minutes to Ladywell Station, or 11 to Lewisham Station. You are also just a few minutes from wonderful local green spaces: Hilly Fields and Ladywell Fields.

You have a charging point serving your driveway. In the main front door and from your hall, a delightful formal ‘grown up’ front reception room rests to your right - of over 14 feet by over 11 feet, with a beautiful fireplace and bespoke window shutters.

An independent utility room and generous w.c. also feature to this floor, as well as a flexible room for games/media/home working/consultation/yoga - you choose! The separate entrance leaves so many options open. There’s lots of built-in storage here too.

The main event is at the rear of the house: the huge open-plan reception/kitchen/dining room - of over 24 feet by over 20 feet, with polished concrete floor, central island and huge roof lights. You'll enjoy oodles of square feet day to day yourselves, and when you host a party! The timeless designer (Häcker) fitted kitchen offers loads of storage and worktop space, and integrated Siemens appliances (including an induction hob). Folding doors span the width of the house and deliver you to the big and low-maintenance garden - where you can bask in loads of afternoon sun.

Up to the half-landing and you have the main (windowed) bathroom to your right, then your first double bedroom is straight ahead (of over 10 feet by 9 feet, with a built-in wardrobe).

From the main landing, you have a big master bedroom to the front of the house (of over 16 feet by over 12 feet), a third double bedroom (of over 10 feet by over 9 feet), and another dual-aspect suite-style bedroom, with private en suite shower room.

On the second floor, you’ll find a large fifth bedroom in the former loft space - with Velux windows (one regular and one balcony), as well as generous accessible eaves storage.

Your local high street area is in Ladywell. Here the offerings include a lovely deli (The Larder), a good butcher (Meat Jon) and a Mamma Dough (for great sourdough pizzas). A new 40-seat modern-European restaurant is joining the list this year (in the old Coral shop).

Also local, Loampit Hill has a fair bit going on these days - Middleton coffee shop/deli is a good spot for fantastic local coffee, pastries and brunches, and check out Chicha (serving vibrant Peruvian street food) and The Talbot pub. And don't miss Brockley Market - a foodie Saturday one held in Lewisham College's walled car park.

Brockley (walk here within 20 minutes) has nice independent restaurants such as Tai and L'Oculto Cocina and cool bars: Brickfields, Joyce, and Brockley Brewery (with taproom) of course.

The Deptford High Street area including Deptford Market Yard is very hip - with bars, night spots, cafes, restaurants and breweries. We particularly rate Salt, Marcella, Isla Ray’s, Stockton and Villages.

And central New Cross is close. Our top tips here include the contemporary art gallery: Goldsmiths CCA, and Meze Mangal for the best Turkish grub.

Central Lewisham’s handy for mall shopping and markets. You’ve also got the best fish and chip shop in London (we think!).

Green space? Stroll to Hilly Fields and Ladywell Fields in mere minutes, or walk around half an hour for Greenwich Royal Park.

Local schools include Prendergast Ladywell Primary and Secondary Schools, and Lewisham TLG Primary.
