Felmingham Road, London, SE20

A delightful two-bedroom garden maisonette with a private garden and private entrance on a quiet residential road near to transport and amenities. Offered to the market with an impressive 989-year lease, this home offers the perfect blend of period character and practical modern living, all within a sought-after SE20 location.

The property has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise both space and functionality, with a focus on living space. The front reception room benefits from a bright bay window covered in attractive wooden shutters, which has an eastern aspect, so it gets great light in the first half of the day. There’s beautiful original wooden flooring and an exposed brick fireplace that creates a striking focal point and adds wonderful texture to the room, bringing warmth and character.

Moving through the property, you'll find a separate dining area that connects seamlessly to the kitchen, creating an ideal layout for entertaining. Having a dedicated dining space is a genuine bonus in a property of this size, offering flexibility that open-plan living often lacks - perfect for hosting dinner parties or creating a natural division between relaxation and meal preparation areas. There’s more exposed brickwork on the chimney breast, which is so pretty, and there’s the same stripped wooden floors running through this space. In warmer months, the double French doors that open into the garden will be a welcome touch, providing a nice flow when entertaining outside.

The kitchen features contemporary cabinetry with wooden countertops and soft sage green subway tile backsplash. Appliances include a gas cooker, and there's space for a washing machine and a dishwasher. It’s arranged in a horseshoe shape, which really maximises the space and creates an abundance of worktop space whilst keeping everything close to hand when whipping up a storm!

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, with the main bedroom featuring built-in wardrobes that maximise storage while maintaining the room's generous proportions. The second bedroom, currently set up as a home office/guest room, offers versatility for those who work from home or need occasional guest accommodation.

The bathroom has been thoughtfully modernised with neutral stone-effect tiling, a combined bath with shower, a heated towel rail, and a contemporary basin. A window provides natural light and ventilation.

Perhaps one of this property's most appealing features is the private rear garden. Measuring approximately 31'8" x 18'5", it’s one of the largest gardens on the road, but it is not too much to manage if you’re not so green-fingered. This well-maintained outdoor space provides the perfect setting for summer barbecues, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing with a book in the sunshine. It gets the southern and western sun, so it is an ideal aspect for entertaining as you will get sun from late morning/early afternoon all the way into the evening/sunset. Notably, the side return can also be used for storage for bikes and gardening equipment, and there is space to install a decent-sized outdoor studio without hugely sacrificing the size of the garden.

Tenure-wise, the flat has a long lease in the region of 989 years. There is no service charge or ground rent.
