A beautifully presented three-bedroom freehold mid-century family home, quietly positioned within a residential cul-de-sac in Catford, bordering Honor Oak Park and Ladywell, and ideally located close to the green open spaces of Ravensbourne Park Gardens, Ladywell Fields and Blythe Hill Fields.

The property boasts a private south-facing rear garden with stunning, uninterrupted views directly over Ravensbourne Park Gardens, along with off-street parking, a separate garage, a generous reception room with direct garden access, double glazing throughout, a fully fitted kitchen, a ground-floor shower room with guest WC and a stylish family bathroom.

Set back from the street behind a driveway with an electric charging point, flanked by planted borders, the house offers an attractive and private approach. The entrance hall provides space for coats and shoes and gives access to the downstairs shower room and WC.

Wood effect flooring runs seamlessly through the spacious reception and dining room, which occupies much of the ground floor. There is ample space for dining to the front of the house, with a comfortable living area to the rear. Large floor-to-ceiling sliding doors frame the garden and its beautiful green outlook across Ravensbourne Park Gardens, while flooding the room with natural light thanks to the desirable southerly aspect.

The adjacent kitchen is well arranged with worktops and wall and base units on both sides, with the sink to one side and the oven with hob opposite. A patio door provides further direct access to the rear garden.

The sunny south-facing garden is a true summer suntrap, with a generous patio area spanning the rear of the house, ideal for alfresco dining. Beyond, a lawn leads to a large shed / play room / summer house, positioned in the corner. The rear boundary backs directly onto Ravensbourne Park Gardens, creating a wonderfully private setting with mature trees as a natural backdrop that provides good shade to the lawn in summer. As the house sits at the end of the terrace, it also benefits from useful side access to the front.

Upstairs, a generous landing with storage cupboard leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms  and a fully tiled family bathroom.

The family bathroom is stylishly finished with metro tiles from floor to ceiling and comprises a large bath with shower over, contemporary WC, wash hand basin with vanity unit below, and a high-level window providing natural light and ventilation.

The principal bedroom is positioned at the rear of the house and features wood flooring fitted wardrobes and a wide window taking full advantage of the impressive views over Ravensbourne Park Gardens. The second bedroom is located at the front and benefits from a built-in cupboard and a large window overlooking the front garden and driveway, while the third bedroom is also positioned to the front, above the entrance hall.
