Attractive Three Bed Victorian Terrace

Property Summary

Attractive Victorian three bed bay-fronted terraced house of 1169 square feet (excluding the generous loft and cellar spaces).

Find it on a quiet residential street close to New Cross Gate and Queens Road Peckham stations - walk 12 and 15 minutes. Parking is unrestricted, on-street.

You're located in New Cross’s desirable Hatcham Conservation Area, a short stroll from Haberdashers’ Aske’s Hatcham Temple Grove Primary School (3-11), with its modernised Victorian building by Jestico + Whiles.

In the front door and you’ve got your traditional double-reception to your left. The front room is over 13 feet by over 11 feet, with central fireplace and bespoke shutters to the bay window. The second reception is over 10 feet by over 9 feet and has handy alcove shelving.

At the end of the hall access your cellar on your right. Straight ahead is the large kitchen/dining room which runs circa 20 feet and has a neat w.c. to your left on entry, and a second bay window - a natural place for table and chairs. The fitted kitchen is Shaker-style teamed with pretty decorative ceramic wall tiles and solid wood counters.

Timber-framed French doors open to the garden which has paved and lawned areas and is framed by nature trees.

Up to the first floor for your three bedrooms and bathroom. The largest is the master - at over 15 feet by 11 feet with two windows and soft carpet to the floor. Next door is another double, of 11 feet by over 9 feet.

The bathroom (with neat white suite and double-glazed window) is at half-landing level and set behind this is the third double to garden views (it’s over 14 feet by over 9 feet).

Saved from proposed demolition in the seventies(!), Hatcham Conservation Area was designated by Lewisham Council in 1990. For a commute or adventures you are close to two stations (it’s just one stop to London Bridge from NXG). Or take a short bus ride from nearby Old Kent Road to Elephant & Castle and beyond. The area’s also popular with cyclists for its short flat route into town.

We’re big fans of New Cross with its growing number of cool pubs and eateries, including The Rosemary (Hungarian), The Rose Inn (ace pizza menu plus top roasts on Sundays), The New Cross House, The Telegraph at the Earl of Derby and The Amersham Arms.

Thanks to Goldsmiths University, New Cross also has a contemporary art gallery and Curzon cinema which are open to the public.

Of the weekend, Deptford, Greenwich (both have great markets) and Peckham Rye are all close. Surrey Docks Farm is a good outing too.

Pick up your fresh loaf from Blackbird Bakery by QRP station, or at Ayres on nearby Nunhead Lane. While you’re in Nunhead, Soper’s wet fish shop and El Vermut are also strong. And Kudu Grill puts on a great meal.

For the regular ‘big shop’, the big Sainsbury's by New Cross Gate station will serve you well, or it's a short drive to large Tesco stores on Old Kent Road or Surrey Quays, or Asda or Aldi.

Your most local primary schools are Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham Temple Grove (a feeder school for the highly-regarded local HA secondary school), Kender, and Edmund Waller. And all have good nurseries, from 3 years.
