Description
Charming 1840s Deptford home with historic character and courtyard workshop
Nestled in the heart of historic Deptford, this remarkable two-bedroom house dates back to the 1840s, constructed in connection with the storied development of Deptford’s Naval Dockyard. Rich in character and rare period detail, this home offers a unique blend of heritage craftsmanship, comfort, and urban tranquillity.
Step inside to discover a home that proudly displays its past. The ground floor features stripped wooden floorboards and original timber doors, evoking a sense of warmth and history. Two generous bedrooms provide restful retreats, while an additional office stands out as a true period gem—retaining an original plank-and-muntin panelled partition, a distinctive nod to the home’s 19th-century origins.
Throughout, charming fireplaces and other thoughtfully preserved features serve as elegant reminders of the home’s rich heritage. The interiors are bathed in natural light, with the layout offering both privacy and a welcoming atmosphere for modern living.
At the rear, a peaceful courtyard garden awaits—a hidden haven that offers respite from the vibrant streets of Deptford. This tranquil outdoor space boasts its own workshop, perfect for creative pursuits, hobbies, or practical storage, all set against a backdrop of mature plantings and period brickwork.
Lovingly owned by the same couple for 28 years, this cherished home has been maintained with care and respect for its historic fabric. It stands as a rare opportunity to acquire a property woven into the fabric of Deptford’s maritime history, offering both the charm of a bygone era and the promise of a bright future.
Deptford has excellent local transport connections. Deptford railway station is just a 5-minute stroll away, providing fast and regular services into London Bridge, Cannon Street, St Pancras and Luton Airport (Thames Link). For those seeking access to the London Overground, New Cross station is a 5-minute walk away with trains to Canada Water (Jubilee Line), Shoreditch and Highbury & Islington. The DLR is a 4-minute walk away and get you to Canary Wharf in 17 minutes.
This is not just a house, but a true piece of Deptford’s legacy—a place to create your own history amid the echoes of the dockyard’s proud past.
