**Guide price £825,000 - 850,000**

Situated on Ardgowan Road on the highly sought after Corbett Estate and within close proximity to Hither Green station, this beautifully presented four bedroom home feels modern whilst retaining its Victorian charm and character. The property offers a serene sanctuary with calming Farrow and Ball painted walls and flourishes of marble.

As you enter, you’ll find a spacious entryway with lightly sanded and oiled original pine floorboards, which continue throughout the ground floor. In the light-filled living space, you are met with a large bay window, letting in ample sun, and one of two highly attractive fireplaces. The spacious dining area houses the second fireplace with room for a large dining table. This leads into a generously sized kitchen with marble worktops and a functional nickel Qooker tap.

Despite its already generous proportions, the house is yet to be extended, and so there is significant potential to add value, with scope to extend to create a larger kitchen space if required. The owners were previously granted planning permission for this.

Moving to the outdoor space we are presented with a large, well proportioned garden with a seating area. The garden compliments the home, offering a peaceful space to unwind, and an inviting one for children to play.

Upstairs, two light-filled and spacious double bedrooms and a single bedroom / office space in turn leads to a further bedroom on the second floor. The three rooms on the first floor are airy and peaceful with high ceilings, with one of the double bedrooms having built in storage either side of the chimney breast.

An elegant family bathroom featuring marble tiling and a beautiful deco inspired opaline pendant captures a mood of calm serenity. The bright and spacious second-floor bedroom has further storage and a second bathroom whilst boasting panoramic views of South London.
