From Private Gym Sessions To Garden Party Games...This superb extended semi flows from the flexible front room to a leafy 80ft garden via the sociable kitchen-diner. A versatile family home with everything you need on your doorstep, under one stylish new roof.

Built in the 1930’s and thoughtfully reimagined for modern family life in the 2020’s, this spacious four-bedroom home blends period charm with practical, purposeful design.

It sits on a quiet, friendly road just a six-minute walk from Lee station - with the highly regarded Colfe’s School and a host of popular primaries all within easy reach.

Inside, the sociable layout may be dramatically different from the original 1930’s design but it flows naturally.

The heart of the home is the extended kitchen-living space at the rear - a bright, sociable hub where cooking, eating and everyday family life blend naturally. With its breakfast bar, spacious open plan layout and bifold doors leading out to the garden, it's a space that works just as well for laid-back Sundays as it does for lively get-togethers.

The bifold doors open onto a raised composite decking seating area which gives a great vantage point, sitting slightly above the 80ft lawned garden. With a stunning glass balustrade, it’s ideal for keeping an eye on little ones while they play or throwing open the doors when friends come round for drinks.

Pocket doors connect the dining area to the front sitting room, giving you the flexibility to keep things open or enjoy a little peace and quiet.

On the other side of the hallway, a separate reception room (currently used as a home gym) sits beside a shower room and a handy utility room at the back - offering potential for a studio, snug or guest space with independent access.

Upstairs, the first floor has two double bedrooms, a single, and a stylish family bathroom.

Head up again and the loft conversion reveals a large master bedroom suite with an ensuite shower room and eaves storage - offering a private retreat that still feels connected to the rest of the home.

The 80ft garden is both practical and playful - with another decking seating area at the far end, a tucked away storage shed and enough space for everything from trampolines to quiet afternoon coffees.

The garden does back onto the train line, but the distance from the house, mature planting and new double glazing means the noise is never an issue.

Beyond that is a well-equipped independent leisure centre that’s part of the Colfe’s School setup - it’s great for swimming and gym sessions, and highly unlikely to be replaced by new homes anytime soon.

Trains from Lee station get you to London Bridge in around 15 minutes, with Charing Cross and Cannon Street not far behind. And the fabulous Manor House Gardens - with its playground, café and year-round community feel - is less than a 20 minute walk away, giving you a lovely green space for picnics, playtime and peaceful walks.

Friendly, helpful neighbours and a strong local community give this street an easygoing charm. It’s somewhere you’ll quickly feel at home.

This is a superb four-bedroom semi that gives you the chance to go from private gym sessions to garden party games in the blink of an eye. It’s a versatile family home that’s ready to handle whatever life throws your way, all under one thoughtfully upgraded and stylish roof.
