Morley Road, Lewisham, London, SE13

Guide Price £1,250,000-£1,350,000. A truly exceptional Victorian house, this beautifully presented four bedroom home has been lovingly owned, maintained and intelligently enhanced by the current vendor, a modernist interior designer, for over 40 years.

Extending to over 2,000 sq.ft. including the outbuilding, this is a house of real substance and personality, where elegant period architecture sits effortlessly alongside thoughtful contemporary design, bespoke joinery and an abundance of cleverly integrated storage.
The house unfolds over four floors and has a wonderful sense of balance throughout. The ground floor is particularly impressive, centred around a magnificent 35ft double reception and dining room with high ceilings, original Victorian plasterwork, sash windows, period fireplace and exposed timber flooring. It is a beautifully proportioned space that feels both refined and comfortable, ideal for everyday living as well as entertaining on a larger scale. To the rear, a light-filled sunroom provides a calm and versatile retreat, opening onto a balcony with steps down to the garden. A guest cloakroom completes this level.

The lower ground floor works brilliantly for modern family life, with a spacious dining/family room featuring a bay window and extensive full-height fitted storage, alongside a sleek contemporary kitchen with built-in appliances and maple worktops. Beyond, a generous utility area enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden, while a glazed oak door strengthens the connection between inside and out. There is a huge amount of practical thought behind the design of this home, with bespoke cabinetry, under-stairs cupboards and even a hidden cellar space, all seamlessly incorporated without compromising its character.

Upstairs, the first floor is arranged around a superb principal bedroom spanning the full width of the house, served by a striking limestone en suite with a walk-in wet room and underfloor heating. Also on this floor is a further room that works perfectly as a guest bedroom or home office. The top floor provides two additional double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a second study area on the mezzanine landing, giving the house an exceptional degree of flexibility for growing families, working from home and hosting guests.
Outside, the south-east facing garden is wonderfully secluded and beautifully kept, with a raised deck, lawn, side access with covered storage and a useful outbuilding that could serve equally well as a studio, workshop or additional storage.

Rarely does a house combine period charm, architectural integrity and such thoughtful
day-to-day practicality so successfully.

This is a home that offers true flexibility with plenty of space to live, work, host and grow into.
