Ashmead Road, St John's, SE8

Architecturally-treated four bed, two bath terrace of 1866 square feet (not a typo!), with a mature and pro-landscaped garden extending over 80 feet. Pleasingly, the house is being sold without a chain.

Find the cleverly, thoroughly and extensively renovated home in the exclusive St John's Conservation Area, which adjoins Brookmill CA. Popular Ashmead Primary School is just over the road (3-11).

We love the old-fashioned street lamps and all round leafiness of this locale. The road is of the pretty, tree-lined and residential variety, and is a one-way and a 'school street'.

You are but a two minute walk from St John's Station (Zone 2), and a 10 minute walk from Elverson Road and Deptford Bridge DLR stations. Blackheath, Greenwich and Lewisham are all easily walkable.

A neat, walled front garden with a pair of mature bay trees sets you back from the pavement. Open the traditional front door into a super generous hall/lobby space, with stripped floors. The bay window (with box work) is a welcome and highlighted feature, and there is loads of space for coats and the like (and a built-in cupboard).

Next up is a spacious modern shower room (also great for guest w.c.), which is also en suite to the first of your four bedrooms - this one is 12 feet by 11 feet, with garden views.

Up the stairs, to your left is the property's main bathroom (a full one, with both bath and independent shower), with another bedroom onto garden views, with an additional skylight window, too.

Down the stairs (open-tread to maximise the fab light), find a vast main reception room running over 26 feet, by the whole width of the house! Engineered oak floors, panel and glazing detail plus exposed steel feature and impress. There is loads of space for day to day family life and for entertaining alike. Glazed French doors deliver you to the garden.

The large double-aspect kitchen/dining room is set to the rear of the house. It extends over 23 feet, and boasts two runs of modern fitted wall and base units and integrated appliances. French doors open at the door of the room into a conservatory (double-glazed) which (very handily) doubles as a utility and drying room!

The garden is a total joy - framed by mature trees (and other gardens), and providing a sturdy shed, both lawned and paved areas, plenty of herbs, a mature fig tree, and year-round colour and interest.

Up to the first floor for bedrooms three and four: a standard and a master double, of 12 feet by 11 feet, and 17 feet by 12 feet. Both rooms have attractive feature fireplaces plus custom-built closets to their respective alcoves.

A little bit of a secret this area... but not for long! An extremely well-connected patch. The stuff of driving lessons: quiet, Victorian streets, within striking distance of excellent transport links, shops, cafes and parks.

You are about a mile from The Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site - comprising the historic town centre, the beautiful Royal Park and the related institutional buildings. The Royal Observatory is a must-go-to and the views from up here at the top of the park, looking onto The Thames and beyond, are really something.

Brookmill Park and Friendly Gardens are your closest green spaces.

As well as Ashmead Primary, three others are very close: St Stephen's C of E (0.2 miles), Lucas Vale (0.3 miles) and Myatt Garden (0.5 miles).

Deptford High Street and Market Yard area is a hip local spot. Here we like Salt, Marcella and Deli X among other delights.

Of an evening or weekend, The Brookmill Pub and Kitchen is a local favourite, and it's just a six minute walk away on Cranbrook Road. The Talbot is also good, and even closer.

Brockley Market, on Lewisham Way, next to Lewisham College (a two minute walk) is a top way to spend Saturday time (on from 10am through to 2pm) and some pennies! Greenwich Picturehouse is also a short walk away. And don't miss your local contemporary art gallery: Goldsmiths CCA.
