Albert Road, London, SE25

The Property
A beautiful, bright, spacious, three-bedroom Edwardian house that has recently gone under considerable renovation by its current owners and is in excellent condition. The roof has been replaced in 2025 and includes a guarantee.

On the ground floor, there is a light, double width hallway, that takes you to both the living room and kitchen/ diner. There is a smart downstairs cloakroom for added convenience.
Oak herringbone flooring flows through from the hallway to the living room. The living room has built in alcove cupboard and shelving, and benefits from split, plantation shutters. The kitchen diner is modern and clean, with a gas stove, island worktop as well as considerable space to entertain family and friends around the dining table.

The kitchen leads out, via french doors, to the south westerly facing garden meaning that the garden captures the sun throughout the day. The current owners have made the most of this by adding a breakfast patio at the end of the garden for the morning sun, in addition to the patio outside the back of the house. The garden beds have a mixed of established plants as well as newly planted plant that will grow out, for the new owners to enjoy.

The upstairs comprises of two large double bedrooms, with original fireplaces and a generous single bedroom. The main bedroom at the front of the house benefits from plantation shutters and in-built blackout blinds. The second bedroom and single bedroom are currently being used as offices and the current owners have installed direct ethernet sockets in both rooms for this purpose.

The bathroom is a calm oasis, and benefits from a walk-in shower, freestanding bath, herringbone tiling and brass accessories. The boiler has been moved to the loft (combi-boiler) and has recently been serviced.
