An exceptional semi-detached period residence of grand proportions, this home offers up to seven bedrooms, versatile living accommodation, off-street parking and a magnificent 117ft northwest-facing garden with rear access. Positioned on Lewisham Way, one of SE14’s most recognised addresses, the house combines the elegance of Victorian architecture with the sophistication of a contemporary architect-designed extension, creating a property that is both steeped in history and perfectly adapted for modern living.

The location is superb. Just a short walk brings you to Brockley, New Cross and St Johns stations, each providing a wide choice of transport options across London, from swift trains into London Bridge and Cannon Street to Overground connections through Shoreditch and Highbury, and DLR services directly into Canary Wharf. The area is also well-served by an array of independent cafés, restaurants and cultural spots, making it one of South East London’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Families benefit from excellent schooling, with Lucas Vale Primary School rated Outstanding by Ofsted and the highly regarded Haberdashers’ Aske’s Hatcham College close at hand. LEYF – New Cross Nursery & Pre-School is just a short walk away and has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted.

Set back from the road with its handsome period façade, the property immediately impresses with its scale and character. Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 2777 sq ft over four floors, offering generous proportions and a versatile layout suited to family life, entertaining and working from home.

On entering, you are greeted by a wide central hallway where original varnished floorboards set the tone for the period detailing found throughout. The ground floor features two principal reception rooms: a formal sitting room to the front with high ceilings, tall sash windows and a feature fireplace, and a second reception room currently arranged as a through lounge, equally elegant and perfect for entertaining. Both rooms balance period charm with a sense of light and openness.

At the rear of the house lies the showpiece kitchen and living space, a striking architect-designed extension that blends cutting-edge design with natural materials. The interior is crafted from birch veneered plywood, offset by the striking charred larch cladding of the external façade. Fully insulated to modern standards and complete with underfloor heating controlled by a Tado smart thermostat, the space has been designed for both style and comfort. A bespoke fitted kitchen, integrated water filter tap, and large central island make it ideal for family cooking and entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors span the width of the room, opening seamlessly to the garden and flooding the space with natural light.

The garden itself extends an impressive 117ft and faces northwest and beautifully landscaped, it offers space for outdoor dining, play and relaxation, with a sense of privacy rare for such a central location. At the rear, the property benefits from an outbuilding, secure rear access. Parking for one vehicle is offered at the front of the home.
The lower ground floor has been converted into a highly versatile one-bedroom apartment with its own independent entrance. Designed with comfort and practicality in mind, it has been fully damp-proofed using the highest specification materials, with insulation to all external walls and underfloor heating throughout. This space is perfect for use as a self-contained flat for guests, older children, extended family, or as a potential income-generating rental.

The first floor of the main house is arranged with two generous double bedrooms, both retaining original period features, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom. On the second floor, three further bedrooms provide flexible options for children, guests, or home offices, complemented by an additional bathroom, ensuring convenience for a large household.

This residence brings together the scale and grandeur of period architecture with modern enhancements that have been thoughtfully designed and executed. The combination of original fireplaces, sash windows and high ceilings with the energy-efficient, contemporary extension creates a home that is as practical as it is beautiful.
