Upper Brockley Road, Brockley, SE4

Architecturally-treated (by local and lauded architects: Selencky Parsons) four bedroom Victorian townhouse of 1748 square feet, delivered over three full floors, with a two-storey rear extension - with lightweight sustainable microcement bands teamed with untreated Siberian Larch battened panels). A sunny garden with a southeasterly orientation of over 65 feet completes the offering. Chain free.

Find your new home within leafy Brockley Conservation Area, opposite Myatt Garden Prinary School. Walk 10-15 minutes for Brockley, New Cross and St Johns stations.

A neat walled garden sets the house back from the pavement.

In your front door and the hall hosts a coat closet and handy downstairs/guest w.c. You can also access under-stairs storage from the hall space.

Reception one rests to the left of the hall. Of over 13 feet by over 11 feet, it has a central (feature) fireplace, coving and rose detail, and a column radiator. This is open to a second reception space - a natural TV 'snug', of over 11 feet by over 7 feet. A second feature fireplace impresses. Both have (their original) marble surrounds.

On through here (or via 'pocket' door from the hall) and you land in your fabulous kitchen/diner, of over 15 feet by over 17 feet. A microcement floor is both practical and attractive. The kitchen - complete with island - has ply fronts and stainless steel counters. Integrated appliances are included in the sale. A large rooflight sits over the natural dining area. A window seat is yet another great decision. An oversized glazed door opens to the garden which is a simple low-maintenance affair, framed by mature trees and bordering neighbouring gardens.

Up to the half-landing and you have a double bedroom to the rear of the building (part of the property's extension). This is over 13 feet by over 7 feet, in a fetching pink hue.

From the landing proper is your principal and twin-sashed bedroom (of over 18 feet by nearly 12 feet), with a fitted-out walk-in wardrobe, and a large windowed en suite bathroom (which is also accessed from the hall). This has contemporary sanitary ware and fittings, and a free-standing bathtub and independent wetroom-style shower.

Your second floor provides two further big and bright bedrooms (and even more fireplaces - lovely!); these are 18 feet by 12 feet (across the front of the house again), and 12 feet by 12 feet.

There is a real buzz about this locale, in the press and on the ground. You have lots of independent cafes, pubs and restaurants to choose from. We're particularly fond of The Wickham Arms, Broca cafe and Browns of Brockley (the latter two are right by Brockley station), Ellary's and Mauby restaurants on Harefield Road, plus Meze Mangal and Kalimar on Lewisham Way.

Lewisham Arthouse is close (formerly Deptford Library - a grade II listed Carnegie building) for interesting exhibitions, plus drawing, ceramic and photography classes. And contemporary gallery: Goldsmiths CCA, is local too.

Of the weekend, check out Brockley Market, or saunter down to The Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the other direction, Peckham and Camberwell are a short bus ride for more options.

Green-space? Luxmore and Friendly Gardens are both local, or check out Hilly Fields (Hilly Fields with park run, holiday day camps for kids, and tennis courts), Telegraph Hill's Victorian parks, Nunhead's beautiful cemetery or Peckham Rye Park and Common's 113 acres.

Schools? Local schools with nurseries include Myatt Garden, Ashmead, Haberdashers', John Stainer and Edmund Waller primaries.
