New Cross Road, London SE14

“An expansive apartment with beautiful front and rear gardens”

This elegant three-bedroom garden apartment forms part of a handsome Grade II-listed early-to-mid 19th century terrace in southeast London, close to New Cross Gate station. At 1,206 sq ft of interior space, the apartment is flooded with light from tall period windows, highlighting original features and a soothing colour scheme. Set over three levels with a beautiful private rear garden, it has a wonderful sense of space.

The Tour

Set back from the street, the apartment is accessed through a communal front garden and entrance hall. The ground floor is used as a small library, fitted with large bookcases with direct access to the garden. A private staircase ascends to the first floor, where a tall window runs the height of the stairwell, casting light into the interior.

Straight ahead, a reception room has three sash windows that reach from floor to ceiling and fill the room with bright southerly light. The room is finished in neutral tones that complement the wide, original floorboards underfoot. Seating and dining areas are arranged under the windows, respectively, and a pretty cast-iron fireplace lends a natural focal point.

The kitchen is equally well-proportioned and concealed behind large double doors, able to be made private when desired. Here, a wall of exposed brickwork adds texture set against runs of contemporary, grey-painted cabinets. Designed to make the best of the space, the kitchen units incorporate storage and integrated Bosch appliances.

One bedroom occupies the rest of the first floor and faces the rear garden. It fits a double bed and a desk and sits next to a generous shared bathroom, fitted with a large bathtub with an overhead shower and a sash window with frosted glass for privacy.

Upstairs, two further bedrooms face Canary Wharf and the street, respectively. The larger room faces the street, with dark blue walls brightened by two sash windows, and an en suite shower room. The third bedroom contrasts the latter with a calming, whitewashed finish.

Outdoor Space

A front garden welcomes residents to the apartment, with lavender borders and mature hedging. Steps down from the ground floor lead to a private rear garden, an expansive space for time outdoors in warmer months with full sun until around 6pm. The garden feels completely secluded and is filled with mature trees, fragrant perennial borders, beds of roses and grapevines.

The Area

The immediate neighbourhood has an good selection of independent cafes, pubs, and eateries, with local favourites like Corner New Cross, the Rose Pub & Kitchen, and, for coffee lovers, Corner Cafe and Awake Coffee & Bakery close at hand. The Broken Wheel, two minutes' walk away, is being beautifully restored as a gastropub and is due to reopen in December.

Deptford, Brockley, and Peckham are all within easy reach. Deptford High Street provides a bustling market atmosphere alongside acclaimed spots like Jazu and Winemakers Club, while nearby Bellenden Road in Peckham offers an excellent selection of restaurants, bakeries, and boutique shops. Green spaces are also close by, with Telegraph Hill Upper and Lower Parks, providing panoramic city views alongside a popular Saturday farmers' market, respectively.

New Cross, New Cross Gate and Queen's Road Peckham stations are both a short walk away, running fast Overground services to Canada Water, Shoreditch, and Highbury & Islington, as well as regular National Rail connections directly into London Bridge and Central London. A network of local bus routes also provides quick and convenient access across the capital.
