This beautifully restored Victorian home is ideally situated in an enviable location overlooking Deptford Park. Tucked away in a quiet, off-road position, the house retains many original Victorian features, including a stunning stained glass front door, intricate coving, ceiling roses in the principal reception rooms, and picture rails. We highly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate the charm of this home.

The house is grand in stature, with bay windows at both the front and rear. The ground floor comprises a vestibule, entrance hallway, two reception rooms with an open plan connection between them and a bay window to the front, a cloakroom with WC, and a spacious kitchen/dining room with an island and bay window to the side. Additionally, the ground floor includes two storage sheds and a garden that faces a southerly aspect, with black slate flooring. From the entrance hallway, a sweeping staircase leads to the first floor, where you'll find a stunning second bedroom with a bay window and an additional window, spanning the width of the property. This floor also features two more double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The house benefits from a loft conversion that includes the main bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a fifth bedroom. There is also a cellar, which provides useful storage space, and could potentially be converted with the necessary work, building regulations, and planning permission.

Located right on the doorstep of Deptford Park, which was originally owned by the Evelyn family as a market garden and purchased by the local council in 1884, this park has since become an important part of the local community. It is often enjoyed by dog walkers and nature enthusiasts. Commuting into Central London is easy, with Surrey Quays Overground Station just half a mile away. Lower Road, just around the corner, offers a variety of local shops and convenience stores, and the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, located opposite Surrey Quays Station, features a large Tesco Extra. This area is at the heart of an exciting regeneration project, which is set to transform it into the next King's Cross of London.

For those who enjoy outdoor spaces, Deptford Park is right on your doorstep, and nearby Southwark Park offers even more green space. Also within walking distance are South Dock and Greenland Dock, perfect for a weekend stroll, which in turn provide access to Rotherhithe, home to the Brunel Museum and a variety of popular historical pubs.

This house offers a perfect blend of stunning Victorian architecture, modern interiors, and a prime location with green open spaces, all while providing convenient access to Central London.
