Minard Road, Hither Green, SE6

An extended and fully optimised five bedroom Corbett Estate house of 1632 square feet, owned and designed by architects. Your pro-landscaped and generous east-facing garden of circa 50 feet is complete with koi pond, west-facing terrace and BBQ area, bespoke pergola and potting/storage shed, and automatic outdoor lighting.

You are winning-at-life close to Sandhurst Primary School (Lewisham Borough's most in demand!), and just a 12 minute walk from Hither Green Station, which has been recently improved to provide step-free access. Corbett Community Library is also a short walk.

The property's excellent, thoughtful and thorough refurbishment was completed in 2020. Treats include a natural slate roof to the house, a green sedum roof to the jaw-dropping extension, and brilliant built-in storage. The entire ground floor was fully insulated during the works. The front of the house has UPVC double-glazing, while the rear has Ideal Combi High Performance triple-glazing.

Set your wheels on your own front drive. You also have unrestricted on-street parking. You have a pro-landscaped front garden with mature beech hedging. Additional delights are a climbing white rose, a chocolate vine, and a matt black tiled pathway next to the driveway. An external porch is the perfect spot for storing logs, wellies and such. You'll note here the original hand-painted door number, side lights and brass ironmongery.

You open into an impressive high-ceilinged hall - eyes drawn to the incredible main room ahead. But before we get to all that, to your right is a traditional front room, of over 15 feet by over 14 feet, with a big square bay window and a beautiful original cast/iron fire surround with slate hearth and central wood-burner (DEFRA approved). Further pleasers include engineered oak floors, coving, rose and picture rail detailing, and a slim column radiator (column radiators impress throughout the house).

Next to your right from the hall is an independent plumbed utility room, with oak joinery concealing an integrated full-height Bosch freezer, washing machine/dryer space, and ample full height storage. Beyond is a guest/downstairs w.c. with Italian terrazzo countertop and Duravit basin.

At the foot of the hall, open your sliding pocket door to the main event: your huge open-plan kitchen/reception room (of over 22 feet by over 17 feet), which lends itself very obviously to entertaining your favourite few through to a throng! In the kitchen area, black matt fitted units (enjoy cupboards and deep drawers here) are in their many, and offer loads of storage as well as hosting high-end Bosch integrated appliances. Gorgeous Indian granite counters feature for added luxury.

It is down one step for your reception area. Exposed brick walls impressing here, and two Velux roof lights (with rain sensors) further illuminating the already bright room. Exposed painted timber beams/fins (with a boarded finish) to the ceiling are yet another welcome decision.

Up to the first floor and you have large double bedrooms to front and back. The principal to the front is over 11 feet by nearly 16 feet, boasting the property's second big bay window. The rear room is over 12 feet by over 11 feet, with pleasing garden vistas.

A smaller double also sits at the front of the house (currently in use as a home office), of over 9 feet by over 8 feet. A main windowed bathroom rests to the rear of the floor, with contemporary white sanitaryware and an independent shower, concealed plumbing (as throughout), fitted storage cupboards, monochrome fittings, a heated towel radiator and on-trend Italian terrazzo tiling to the floor.

Your second floor delivers an incredible master suite (again, those timber beams bring on the smiles!) with a contemporary en suite shower room and eaves storage, and there is a deep storage cupboard accessed from the landing.

A great house in a great spot: this is a notably friendly community, popular with families and young professionals alike. Connections to London are strong, with Hither Green Station your most local (Catford's two stations are also close), with a 10 minute journey time to London Bridge, or 20 to Charing Cross/Canon St. You have got good bus routes as well. The Station Hotel is a popular local pub, and you'll note cute clusters of cafes and boutique shops around both of the station's exit/entry points.

Catford and Lewisham town centres offer more shopping opportunities. Both have regeneration plans aplenty. Catford Broadway is your local theatre (don't miss the annual panto here!).

Kids or thinking of? Sandhurst Primary, Torridon and Holy Cross are your closest. Independent schools local to you include St. Dunstan's College and Colfe's.

Local parks include Mountsfield Park and Forester Park. For larger public open spaces, Greenwich and Blackheath are but a short drive.
