Description
The location? Is a pretty residential street within Hatcham Conservation Area.
You are an easy 9 minute stroll from New Cross Gate Station (or you can walk 15 to Queens Road Peckham Station), and just a few minutes from a brilliant local school: Hatcham Primary - with its traditional Victorian school building with impressive architectural treatment by jestico + whiles.
Pleasingly, the house is in great order! The rear extension and a full refurbishment was completed in 2021. Extensive works included new electrics and plumbing, and a new roof and insulation (2020). Further, a new boiler was fitted in 2021, and the front sash windows and front door were fitted in 2020.
Original Victorian tiles impress to the front garden, which sets you back from the street (unrestricted parking here). In your hall and your formal double-reception with stripped wooden floors rests to your right, running nearly 26 feet. In the front section of the bright through-room, custom-made shutters to the lower sash panes in the bay and an opened-up fireplace impress. All of the downstairs radiators are cast iron.
At the foot of the hall you access the handy cellar to your left.
Straight ahead and immediately to your right is a neat downstairs w.c. And then you have your huge open-plan kitchen/dining room with a fabulous glazed dining area (with sliding double-glazed doors), and an additional reception zone beyond the kitchen. Amtico flooring flows through the entire space, and underfloor heating features throughout (water-fed).
The fitted kitchen is a timeless Shaker-style in two tones, with quartz worktops and a ceramic Butler sink. Cupboard space is plentiful. Appliances are integrated and high-end. These include induction hob, microwave, oven, washing machine (all Bosch), fridge/freezer (Samsung) and dishwasher (Neff). Further, you have an instant boiling water tap (Fohen).
Beyond the kitchen is an additional reception area with two large roof lights in addition to the (forever-on-trend!) wall-spanning folding doors out to the garden. This is a natural living room/snug. Alternatively you could use it for play, work, music or dining. You choose!
Your garden gets brilliant sun thanks to its southerly orientation. There is a paved area close to the house then a generous lawn. A small shed at the back of the garden holds garden tools and a mower - all included in the sale. Garden table plus benches and a BBQ are also included in the sale.
Up the stairs and from the half-landing you have a beautiful windowed bathroom to your right. High-end sanitary ware and fittings are the order of the day. We love the monochrome detailing, including towel hooks. Big under-basin drawers sit under the delightful double sink unit and you have (wired) underfloor heating. At the rear of the building is a double-aspect double bedroom, of over 11 feet by over 8 feet.
From the main landing, a second double bedroom sits to your left - this one is over 11 feet by over 10 feet. The classy wardrobe and drawer units here are included in the sale.
Finally, set across the front of the house is your large master bedroom - of over 11 feet by nearly 16 feet. A built-in bank of wardrobes runs one entire wall. Slimline column radiators are under the twin sash windows.
Some area information: Hatcham CA is a cute, little-known and very-Victorian residential pocket of south London. From 1614, the land was owned by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. When the manor house here (named 'Hatcham Park') was demolished circa 1840, terraced homes were permitted to be built. Rescued from proposed demolition in the seventies(!), Hatcham Conservation Area was designated by Lewisham Council in 1990.
'Hatcham' derives most likely from Anglo Saxon; meaning 'a clearing in the woods', and reputedly, Charles Dickens wrote 'Our Mutual Friend' in a lively local: The Five Bells pub (1864-5).
Stroll - past more handsome Victorian housing stock - just 9 minutes to New Cross Gate Station. There are also plenty of day and night bus routes within a short walk of the house - to Elephant & Castle and beyond, or to Peckham, Deptford, Greenwich, Brockley and Lewisham.
Local eateries and drinkeries of note include The Corner cafe/bar and The Old Library bar, The Rosemary (Hungarian, organic, delicious) and The Rose Inn (good pizzas and roasts here). And Smokey Jerk is a local gem.
Nip down to neighbouring SE15 for others - including Peckham Bazaar, Kudu, Kudu Grill, Ganapati, Artusi, Peckham Levels, Miss Tapas and Mr Bao.
Deptford has a top social scene - find great food at Watergate, Marcella, Salt and The Tea House for example. There are lots of hip hangouts in Deptford Market Yard and surrounds. Deptford also has its own theatre: The Albany, and a modern leisure centre with lane pool.
New Cross is home to Goldsmiths University and a cool contemporary art gallery (Goldsmiths CCA), and your local parks include Telegraph Hill (Upper and Lower, with Saturday Farmers' Market, or pop in a bus down to Brockley Market) and Fordham Parks. Eckington Gardens is a small local one with playground and occasional community events (including open air movies).
Grab fresh loaves from Blackbird Bakery by QRP station, or at Ayres on nearby Nunhead Lane. While you're in Nunhead, check out FC Soper wet fish shop as well. And El Vermut and Mother Superior are cool bottle-shops, with seating inside and out for a few.
Kids or they are on the horizon? Your most local primary schools are Hatcham Primary (which feeds to the secondary based in New Cross's other and local Conservation Area), Edmund Waller and Kender.
