About this property
Turnkey
Private Garden
Period Property
Everything You Could Want From A Stylish Brockley Ladder Home. This recently updated garden flat has two proper double bedrooms, a 90m2 landscaped garden that gets sun throughout the day and is an easy walk to two stations, a choice of great schools and the shops.
You'll notice the small touches first - Pooky lighting in the hall, brass hardware on every door, a hand-picked Farrow & Ball colour in each room.
The hallway is painted in Shadow White, with engineered oak flooring laid throughout in 2023.
The bay-fronted living room is where you'll end up spending most of your time. The high ceilings make it feel properly spacious, there's room for a dining table at one end and a sofa at the other.
The Victorian fireplace looks great but isn't currently in use - but adding a log burner would be straightforward if you wanted one.
The kitchen was rebuilt in 2022, with an integrated oven and dishwasher and neatly hidden bins making the most of every inch. A run of wall mounted cabinets were swapped for bespoke oak shelving too, so the room keeps hold of its light.
The floor is tumbled porcelain from Quorn Stone, which looks like real stone but is far more practical and easier to live with day to day. The doors open straight onto the garden, so cooking and being outside become the same thing for most of the year.
The back garden was landscaped in 2022. It measures around 90 square metres and backing onto a row of equally large gardens makes it feel properly peaceful and private.
The decking catches the morning sun, then the light moves round to the patio for the rest of the day, and there are three raised beds for growing vegetables and cut flowers. A mature blossom tree and an elderflower give the borders real character through the year.
Both bedrooms are proper doubles. The main one is garden-facing, with a built-in wardrobe and a fireplace nook, while the second has a lovely high ceiling and a sash window - ideal as a home office or a light and bright guest room.
The bathroom was fully refurbished in 2024 with Mandarin Stone tiling, a marble floor and Burlington fittings, and the ceiling was raised to give proper headroom in the shower while keeping the bathtub.
There's also a huge cellar for storage.
The communal front garden has recently been redone too, with new landscaping, tiling and lighting, so the approach to the flat now matches what's inside.
The street is part of one of London's first “low traffic zones”, with a school street running along the end (Beechcroft Gardens Primary is just a couple of streets away), so it stays genuinely quiet and you should have no trouble parking right outside.
Crofton Park and Brockley stations are both around an eight minute walk away, giving you the choice of the Overground, Thameslink or trains into London Bridge, plus a direct line to Kings Cross and Luton Airport.
Saturday mornings are made for Brockley Market, which is just a short walk away. For the rest of the week there's Brown's of Brockley or Good as Gold for coffee, Joyce for a glass of wine, and Jones of Brockley, Jerome's and Proud Sow to cover the weekly shop.
Hilly Fields is close enough for a regular weekend ParkRun habit, and well-regarded primaries including John Stainer and Gordonbrock are just a short walk away (with Beechcroft Gardens just a couple of streets away).
If you want a move-in-ready Victorian home where every detail has been carefully considered, this stylish garden flat is well worth a look.
We're expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
