3 bed terraced house for sale

Brocklehurst Street, London SE14

They Bought It As First-Time Buyers And Turned It Into A Fabulous Family Home. Now it's your turn - it’s fully renovated inside and landscaped outside, with a stylish kitchen, a log burner lounge and a sought after primary school only a two minute walk away.

When a home has been shaped by people who moved in with a plan and spent five years following it through, room by room, you can feel the difference the moment you're inside.

The current owners bought this as newlyweds, had two children here, and are only leaving because they've outgrown it. What they're leaving behind is in a different league from what they bought.

But if you're at the beginning of that same journey - newly married, just becoming parents for the first time, or thinking seriously about it - you couldn't be walking through the door at a better moment.

The herringbone parquet floors, the antique brass fittings, the plantation shutters on the front bay - all recently updated and ready for you to enjoy.

The bay fronted living and dining room have been opened up to create a larger, more sociable space. On a winter evening with the wood-burning stove lit, it's the kind of room you genuinely don't want to leave.

The kitchen was completely updated in 2023 - with sleek white shaker units, a range cooker against a quartz splashback and timber shelving that keeps the whole space feeling relaxed rather than showroom-stiff.

The breakfast bar catches the morning light. And the door at the end opens straight onto the garden, so on a Saturday morning in July, the boundary between inside and outside more or less disappears.

That garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to make the most of the outside space. There’s a paved terrace for long dinners outside, a lawn the kids or pets can play on and outdoor lighting for when the afternoons run into the evening.

Upstairs, three double bedrooms all feel calm and considered. The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes, alcove shelving and shutters that keep the street outside where it belongs.

The bathroom is another room that’s had a full renovation. Microcement walls and floors, a floating vanity unit and a bath with a shower over it make it feel genuinely spa-like.

A downstairs WC is a handy addition. And the full-width cellar - over 340 sq ft - can quietly handle the clutter and “stuff” that a busy young family accumulates.

Haberdashers' Hatcham Primary is only two minutes walk from your front door - and it's one of the most highly regarded primaries in Lewisham.

As the children get older, Haberdashers' Secondary, Edmund Waller and Kender are all within easy reach too..

New Cross Gate station is a ten-minute walk, with London Bridge one stop away.

Buses from the end of the road connect you to Elephant & Castle, Peckham, Lewisham, Greenwich and beyond.

The house sits in the Hatcham Park Conservation area, which means the Victorian streetscape around you is protected.

Weekends here have a rhythm of their own. Fresh croissants from Corner Café, sourdough from Blackbird Bakery, or a stroll up to Telegraph Hill Park for the Saturday farmers' market.

There's live jazz at The Old Library, small plates at Jazu, cocktails at Peckham Levels, and gallery-hopping in Deptford when you fancy something a bit more cultural.

Eckington Gardens is just around the corner - and if you know your British film history, you'll recognise the former Winchester Tavern on Monson Road, now converted to flats but forever immortalised in Shaun of the Dead.

Nunhead, Brockley and Peckham are all on your doorstep, each with their own character and enough decent cafés and restaurants to keep you busy for years.
