Broadfield Road, London, SE6

Positioned on Broadfield Road, one of the Corbett Estate's wide, tree-lined residential streets and within an easy, flat walk of Hither Green station, this substantial period house offers generous family living arranged over three floors, in a neighbourhood valued for its calm atmosphere and strong sense of community.  
 
This double-fronted, end of terrace property presents beautifully from the street, with a handsome period façade set back behind a well-kept front garden, while useful side access provides a practical and discreet route through to the rear.  
 
Through an illuminating stained glass front door, the house opens into well-proportioned ground-floor accommodation, with a formal reception room to the right and a second living or dining space to the left and rear. The layout works well for modern living creating a natural flow between entertaining and everyday family life while retaining a sense of separation and scale. The kitchen sits at the rear of the house and connects naturally with the garden, providing a practical and sociable hub to the home.  
 
Upstairs, the five double bedrooms, arranged over the first and second floors, are evenly balanced and generous, with good ceiling heights and plenty of natural light. The arrangement across the upper floors lends itself well to family living, home working and guest accommodation, depending on need. The property boasts three bathrooms plus a downstairs toilet.  
 
To the rear, the garden is private and well established, offering a quiet outdoor space that feels removed from the city. It provides room for seating, planting and play, and is a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months.  
 
The current owners have set up the property for future sustainability, fitting it with solar panels and a charging point for an electric vehicle.

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 annual local Arts Trail around the area, and periodic community crafts events strengthen the community feel.
