Description

Nestled on Ardgowan Road on the highly sought after Corbett Estate and within close proximity to Hither Green station, this charming four bedroom home is a rare find as one of the few larger than average single fronted properties in the neighbourhood. The property offers a serene sanctuary with a touch of village calm all while keeping the city within easy reach. Beautifully presented throughout, it's a haven for those seeking comfort, and effortless family living.

With its early 20th century heritage and modern enhancements, this well presented family home offers the charm of the past with the ease of contemporary living.

As you enter, you'll find spacious entryway with a beautifully maintained ceiling rose and cornicing. In the spacious living room, you are met with a large bay window, letting in ample sun, and beautiful and intricate fireplace. Double doors lead straight from the adjoined dining room onto a terrace, accessing a meticulously presented and well proportioned garden.

The excellent presentation continues into the kitchen, where shaker cabinetry and beautiful white countertops create an elegant finish. An additional breakfast space and downstairs toilet add every touch a busy family might need. Another set of double doors lead out to the garden.
The garden compliments the home, offering a peaceful space to unwind, and an inviting one for children to play. Curated by the current owners, its thoughtful design includes a large patio, lawn and a garden shed as well as wonderfully maintained foliage.

Upstairs, three double bedrooms and a fourth bedroom / home office / children's bedroom allow for family living and hybrid working. All 4 rooms are airy and peaceful with high ceilings and room for ample storage. A well finished and practical family bathroom completes this gorgeous home.
This property is one of the rare Corbett houses to be a natural 4 bed with a large footprint. Despite its already generous proportions, it has yet to be extended, and so the property also has significant potential to add value, with scope to extend into the loft, and to create a larger kitchen space if required.

Built by the renowned Victorian Builder, Archibald Cameron Corbett, Ardgowan Road is one of the main arteries of the Corbett Estate, whilst maintaining a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. This particular property lies a stones throw away from Hither Green station, allowing quick, easy and direct access into the central of London.

Archibald Corbett, a Scottish property developer, MP, and philanthropist, was recognized as the biggest house builder in suburban London at the end of the 19th century. His vision for the Corbett Estate was to create healthy living spaces, featuring homes with generous front and back gardens along wide streets, fostering a strong sense of community that still prevails today. The Corbett Estate attracts many artists and families with its blend of Victorian architecture, local schools, and green space.

The neighbourhood has a strong local community, with a supportive and family-oriented spirit. The immediate area boasts many independently owned businesses such as resident favourite shop Torrindon convenience store and coffee shop Flour and Flower. Forster park, and Abbotshall community centre are both a short walk away, with Forster park boasting beautiful woodlands and open spaces, and Abbotshall fields providing a social hub for families, hosting regular community events.

The locale is also rich in educational opportunities, with a selection of local nursery and primary schools within proximity, including Sandhurst, Torridon, and Holy Cross. Prestigious independent schools like St Dunstan's College and Colfe's are nearby.

Hither Green station is less than 10 minutes away by foot, providing easy access into London, with direct Southeastern services taking around 10-15 minutes to reach London Bridge.
Hither Green is highly regarded for its thriving community and a variety of independent shops with favourites including Arlo & Mo, Three Sisters, You Don't Bring Me Flowers, Crimson and Clover, Park Fever, and Good Hope, making it a hotspot for those seeking a dynamic and engaging community.

Catford centre, earmarked for significant growth and development, is becoming increasingly popular among homebuyers and investors. The area is renowned for its intact period housing, transport connections, and diverse community. The Catford Arts Trail is an event which encourages the community to visit the studios and homes of local artists and makers.
Ambitious regeneration plans aim to make Catford one of the most vibrant and green town centres in London. Favourite local haunts include Good Food, La Pizzeria Italiana and Taro. Transport connections are excellent; the Catford and Catford Bridge stations provide easy access to central London; from Catford the network runs Thameslink services to London Blackfriars and Sevenoaks, while Catford Bridge Southeastern services run to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Hayes.

Further afield, Blackheath, Beckenham, Brockley, Bromley and Greenwich offer additional leisure and cultural experiences, all within a manageable distance, for weekend exploration.
These South East London pockets are also home to a choice of green spaces, conservation areas and local arts and community festivals.
