Gabriel Street, Honor Oak, SE23

Incredible, optimised and reimagined Victorian terraced house with four bedrooms (three doubles, one single), a dedicated study area, two bathrooms, a downstairs lavatory, a mature rear garden, and a snazzy skylit garden studio/gym.

The extensive architectural treatment (applause to Fraher) has paid particular and welcome attention to conserving the spirit and lines of the original building (floors and stairs were removed and rebuilt in the remodel), and to fantastic cabinetry and woodwork. Douglas fir features pleasingly and heavily throughout the home. Oversized glazing - maximising light - is another strong theme. Other treats include underfloor heating (throughout the whole house) and Sonos speakers (throughout the ground floor).

Find your new pad on a quiet residential back-street (with unrestricted street parking), just a five minute walk from Honor Oak Park Station and Honor Oak's cute village-style high street.

A tiled independent entrance hall is a great welcome. Open your ceiling-high sliding door (industrial 'barn' style, on castors) to reveal your huge open-plan reception room/dining room/kitchen. Floors have been lowered to maximise your cubic square footage.

Your front room area is a traditional sitting room space, with central wood burner, a bay window with custom-made shutters, and bespoke storage to the far alcove. It is 15 feet wide.

Valchromat floor-to-ceiling cupboards feature on your way through to the kitchen/dining room (you have excellent storage throughout the house). Both beautiful and practical! A neat downstairs/guest w.c. is opposite these; its door set on the same angle as the foot of your stairwell.

Your kitchen/dining room measures in at over 22 feet by over 15 feet. We are in love with the giant-size glazed back door (this was craned in!). The large windows over the sink also fold open completely - what a treat for entertaining. Valchromat panelled cupboards and central island plus bar area impress, plus specific storage for wine, cookery books etc. Not a single detail has been overlooked. Appliances are integrated and high-spec. including dishwasher, induction hob, and extractor hood inset to the ceiling.

A huge rooflight sits over the dining area which has an extended ceiling height - visually and literally zoning it off delightfully from the kitchen area. Dinner parties are a must here!

Up to the first floor and your principal bedroom rests across the front of the building, with twin sash windows (custom-made shutters to the lower panes), deep blue walls, and a fitted-out dressing area.

Your second bedroom (of over 11 feet by over 9 feet) is to the rear of the house. This has a double-aspect and cool built-in closets.

Also on this floor you have a metro-tiled bathroom with contemporary fittings and sanitaryware, and an independent study area lit by a sash window (this dedicated space has a built-in desk plus smart fitted shelving).

Your second floor delivers two further bedrooms to front and rear (these are over 11 feet by over 7 feet and over 10 feet by 9 feet), plus a bright and modern shower room. There is also generous landing space - a top spot for reading a book or broadsheet.

Honor Oak Park Station is a brief stroll and has regular and Windrush line services. Your local high street area has handy shops and cool cafes and eateries, too. We particularly like Two Spoons (for brunch, coffee and such), and Miss Margherita (for yummy pizzas) in a former bank building. Other local delights include Nonna Maria restaurant and No. 41 cafe.

This is a pleasingly-leafy spot to lay your hat. Local green spaces include Blythe Hill Fields (fabulous skyline views here), One Tree Hill, Horniman Gardens, Devonshire Road Nature Reserve, Brenchley Gardens, and Peckham Rye Park and Common.

Other local town centres to explore and enjoy include Forest Hill, Sydenham, East Dulwich, Crofton Park and Brockley.
