5 Bedroom Detached For Sale

Property description

Find this epic five bedroom detached period beauty awash with majestic rooms and sturdy period symmetry. All rooms are beautiful and sit where they should and you'll never want for space nor light. The decor is tasteful and uncomplicated throughout - entirely sympathetic.  A rather amazing first floor view encompassing St Paul's, The Shard, City Hall and the Walkie Talkie will impress no end. High ceilings, original features and some utterly gorgeous tessellated floor tiling add to the charm. A suitably mammoth rear garden encourages summer gatherings and there's OSP for a large 4x4 out front. A vast boarded loft offers a very exciting development opportunity. Subject to PP, one could instate at least one further bedroom with adjoining en suite. The house takes a lofty position along Netherby Road which commands a residential yet convenient appointment within easy reach of Peckham Rye Common and Park. Transport links include the London Overground Line at Honor Oak - an easy 15 minute stroll. 

Grand steps lead up to a recessed portico which introduces a most wonderful original door with stained glass impressively preserved and displaying the name ‘Ashbourne’. The inner hall continues to beguile with that beautiful tessellated tiling. Dado rails and cornicing continue the period perfection. The first reception, an enormous dual aspect space, invites you right to find an original feature mantel, picture rails and French doors leading rear to the patio. Two eye widening front aspect sash windows peep between the houses opposite giving you the first of the tantalising London vista. On the far side of the hall you find a similarly huge reception/diner with front aspect square bay, fitted storage and enough space to seat a banquet. The kitchen adjoins rear with granite worktops and butler sink. If you’re in need of more space, you can easily extend the kitchen to the far right to reconnect with the reception room to make a huge kitchen/diner. With a garden as large as this, one could easily spare the space.

Linking around to the rear of the hall you next find access to the cellar which stretches six metres and will play host to any amount of whatnot. Standing at the end of the hall you can really appreciate the beauty of that stained glass door as it allows light to flood inward. Ascending your decidedly wide stairs you find a family bathroom with hand basin and loo and a separate wc next door, all resting on the return. Continuing upward reveals an ample carpeted landing off which four bountiful bedrooms lie. The master room fronts the street grabbing the best of those excellent city views through the bay window. There's a run of contemporary fitted storage and access to the en suite bathroom which steals yet more of the skyline. A second double completes the front aspect. The third and fourth airy doubles each face rear. Both (as with their two predecessors) have fitted storage and are proper doubles - they certainly don't build 'em like this anymore! A final intrepid ascent delivers the fifth and final slumber spot which hosts an original feature fireplace, fitted storage, desk and access via a door in here to the seemingly endless loft. 

Here you're about 10 minutes away from both Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park stations where fast and frequent services will whizz you to London Bridge, Victoria or the much loved London Overground Line. Sainsburys is local in Forest Hill for shopping and there is a corner shop just over the road for last minute supplies. Pop into the 'Dartmouth Arms' for a tasty lunch or head into nearby Honor Oak for some nice bars and shops too. You're also 5 minutes from Peckham Rye and Devonshire Road Nature Reserve, and it's not much further to the well-loved Horniman Museum and Gardens.
