End terrace house for sale in Waite Davies Road, London SE12

An absolutely stunning & unique Victorian house with an interesting story & past! Locally known as having once been the 'Butterfield Farmhouse' for Clark’s Dairy (which reportedly had 28 cows in 1913!) it has all the charm & character you'd expect. The road was known as ‘Butterfield Street’ in the past which we assume was in reference to the dairy it was home to – the weathered remnants of the painted street sign still remain.

Internally & externally, the current owners have given the property an inviting, warm & rustic feel using tasteful decoration & retaining wooden sash windows. Entered via a distinctive wooden front door, the internal hallway leads to a spacious bay fronted lounge on the right & bright & well-proportioned kitchen diner on the left. There is also utility room off the kitchen. Both the lounge & utility room provide access to the courtyard garden – the boundaries of which are set out by a white painted rendered brick wall.

The first floor is accessed via an ornate staircase featuring black painted spindles & a matching handrail. This floor comprises of a landing featuring lots of natural light, three bedrooms & a generous four-piece bathroom.

We asked the sellers to tell us a little bit about their home:

It has felt incredibly special owning a piece of local history & calling it home. The house itself is great for entertaining with a large kitchen/dining area, separate living room & south facing courtyard. The area has a village feel to it with a good variety of shops, cafes & the Summerfield pub nearby yet it's only a quick train ride into Central London - Lee to London Bridge is 13 minutes.

We spent a lot of time at Northbrook Park, Manor House Gardens & Greenwich Park with our children. Blackheath Village & Greenwich town are easy to get to & great for food & drink options & of course Greenwich Market! We’ll be sad to leave this wonderful area & hope the next owners enjoy being part of this lovely community & history as much as we have.
