Terraced house for sale in Burford Road, London SE6

This carefully renovated Victorian terraced cottage is a charming example of what can be achieved by thoughtful restoration and detailed design. There are many of these terraced Victorian cottages in London, but few as carefully conceived and developed as this immaculate Catford home.

On approaching the house, one is immediately struck by the elegant frontage, a design lesson in ‘less is more, ’ the sedate colour scheme and choice of the Heritage colour taupe paintwork enhances the delightful details of the carved stone columns. The York Stone hard landscaping leads to a glazed front door. The double-glazed, wood, high-quality, box sash windows create the air of a house that is cared for.

The muted Heritage tones continue throughout the property; the living room is a light and airy double through-reception measuring over 22ft long. The feature bay window has obscuring, reeded glass lower panels, a clever design solution to creating privacy without sacrificing light. The calm and comforting atmosphere is no accident; it has been carefully designed by the owners, little touches like the veined marble hearth and log burner cosy up this family room.

There is a rightness to the placing of everything in this home. The kitchen features an elegant, Shaker style fitted kitchen with a double sink under the window, the kitchen counter echoes the veining in the front room hearth. The attractive, star pattern floor tiles lead to double French doors, which open onto a West facing York Stone terrace for entertaining or soaking up the afternoon rays.

Outside there is a newly landscaped, West facing garden in excess of 40ft. Long with deep planter borders, a grassed area for lounging, and a Garden Studio with power and light.

Nothing has been too much trouble when renovating this charming Victorian cottage. Upstairs the neutral palette continues, creating a harmonious whole. Clever design has magicked three double bedrooms and a family bathroom from this Tardis-like house. There are three bedrooms; the main bedroom has two box sash windows with obscuring reeded glass, the second and third bedrooms overlook the garden. Feature radiators add an additional design detail to all the rooms, as do the antique brass switches and sockets. There is still room for a well-considered upstairs family bathroom with a stylish bath and overhead rainfall shower, heated towel radiator and wall hung WC, all in the on-trend, Terrazzo finish tile.

The viewer is left with the impression that less is indeed more. This cosy home has everything that the design conscious buyer could desire.
