Hazelbank Road, London, SE6 1

A truly beautiful family home, this elegant Victorian house is set within the highly sought-after Corbett Estate, renowned for its strong sense of community and village-like atmosphere.

Stylish and impeccably presented throughout, the property has been thoughtfully refurbished with a keen eye for detail, beautifully balancing contemporary touches with an abundance of well-preserved Victorian features, resulting in a home that feels timeless and effortlessly inviting.

The house makes a striking first impression. The handsome original stained glass Victorian front door sits behind a landscaped front garden, including bike storage complete with power and EV charging.

Internally, the property unfolds with a wonderful sense of space, light and balance. A generous entrance hall leads to a superb formal reception room at the front of the house. A room with real warmth and character, a large bay window and an incredibly maintained original fireplace complete with marble mantlepiece, steal the show.

Original flooring flows through the ground floor and into a spacious, light-filled contemporary kitchen. Thoughtfully designed with both practicality and future extension potential in mind, this stylish space offers ample room for cooking, dining and entertaining, complete with a kitchen island and generous pantry storage. A well-appointed utility room sits just off the kitchen.

The rear garden is a particular highlight; wonderfully private and beautifully arranged for both entertaining and quiet enjoyment. Facing south-east, a seating area directly off the kitchen allows for al fresco dining, before leading through thoughtfully planted borders filled with mature shrubs and greenery, and complete with vegetable patch. The end of the garden feels like a secret garden with mature trees creating a wonderfully shaded and secluded retreat, backing onto peaceful allotments.

Upstairs, three beautifully proportioned bedrooms continue the home’s calm and elegant feel. The principal bedroom is especially impressive, with a large bay window flooding the room with natural light and creating a peaceful sanctuary. The additional bedrooms are equally well presented, each retaining original fireplaces, paying homage to the home’s period heritage. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed, featuring both a deep bathtub and a contemporary walk-in shower.
