Set back from the road and nestled behind elegant cast iron railings, this gorgeous two-bedroom period home has been lovingly renovated by its current owners, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

From the moment you arrive, this residence makes a striking impression. The bold yellow front door sets the tone for what lies beyond—a beautifully maintained period property that perfectly balances classic charm with modern comforts.

This flat forms the principal part of St John’s House, an impressive mansion originally built in the late 19th century to house the order of St John’s Nuns midwives, famously featured in the Deptford branch of Call the Midwife.

As you step inside, you are welcomed by a vibrant hallway that exudes style and colour. The home features two spacious double bedrooms, a separate kitchen, and a modern bathroom, making it an ideal choice for first-time buyers.

The kitchen is a bespoke creation, showcasing Birch Ply cabinetry and equipped with high-quality Neff appliances, including a ‘slide and hide’ oven and a concealed herb and spices drawer.

New solid wood herringbone flooring graces the main living space, complemented by traditional-style radiators and double-glazed sash windows throughout. The flexible second bedroom features a Murphy-style fold-down bed, while a Miele washer and separate dryer in the utility area are included in the sale. Ample storage is provided, including bespoke fitted Birch Ply cabinetry in the master bedroom and a newly installed fuse board.

Step into tranquility in the bathroom, a refined retreat featuring a walk-in rainforest shower and a spa-style bathtub—perfect for those relaxing evenings.

The property also boasts a private outdoor space, beautifully designed with generous planting, a patio seating area, a soothing water feature, and a Japanese garden, all crafted by award-winning landscaper Patrick Featherstone. This serene outdoor oasis invites you to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature right at your doorstep.

Transport Links? You’re in luck! Deptford Station is just an 5-minute walk away, offering quick and frequent services into Cannon Street (10 minutes) and London Bridge (7 minutes). New Cross Station is close by, with easy access to the London Overground, connecting you to East and North London. The DLR from nearby Deptford bridge gives you access to Canary Wharf, Bank and City Airport. 

And if you’re a fan of local produce, food trucks, and vibrant community vibes, The Deptford Market Yard is where the action really heats up, with a colourful mix of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants nestled within the charmingly refurbished railway arches. It’s a hub of creativity, where you’ll find something new around every corner.

This is a truly special home that combines character, convenience, and a wonderful location – it won’t be around for long!
