Your Chance To Make It Grand Again: Five floors of period potential on one of SE4’s best streets, now ready for its next chapter. An impressive Victorian end terrace with a private 100ft garden, close to shops, cafés, great schools and a choice of stations.

There’s something deeply satisfying about a home that’s stood the test of time - and one that’s ready for fresh new ideas. Owned by the same family for 30 years, this striking five-storey Victorian end terrace has charm in every corner, space in every direction and potential at every turn.

From the grand staircase and original fireplaces to the shutters, stained glass and generous proportions, there’s no shortage of traditional character here. 

And with six bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and a kitchen-diner big enough to feed a full house, it’s not short on space either.

On the raised ground floor, you’ll find two light and bright reception rooms linked by an unusual off-centre doorway - perfect for keeping things flexible but still sociable.

Head downstairs to the lower ground floor and there’s a huge kitchen-diner, a handy utility room and a modern shower room, all leading out to the leafy and private 100ft garden.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms on the first floor, one with a walk-in wardrobe (which many would turn into an ensuite). 

The second floor offers another two double bedrooms and a single, while the top floor is home to a versatile loft room with plenty of storage space in the eaves.

And don’t forget the outside space. There’s a detached double garage at the back of the 100ft garden and gated side access makes life easier if you’re planning works - or just want somewhere to park securely or store bikes and tools.

Manor Avenue is one of the area’s most sought-after streets - a quiet, leafy stretch lined with cherry trees and just moments from both Brockley and St Johns stations. That gives you plenty of options for getting into town, whether you’re heading to London Bridge, Victoria, Cannon Street or beyond via the Elizabeth Line or DLR.

If you’ve got kids, there’s a great choice of local schools nearby - including Myatt Garden Primary, which is only a couple of streets away.

Weekend brunches and midweek coffees are sorted too, with Jones, Browns and Parlez all close by. And when you want a breath of fresh air, Friendly Gardens and Brookmill Park are just a short stroll away.

Yes, it could do with a little TLC. But this is a genuinely rare thing: a grand old home in a fantastic street, full of character, full of space and full of opportunity. You’re unlikely to find anything like this on Manor Avenue again, as most similarly substantial Victorian family homes have already been split up into flats.
