St Asaph Road, London SE4

“A curated apartment in one of south-east London’s most beloved neighbourhoods”

Set in the leafy south-east London suburb of Telegraph Hill is this two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a terraced late-Victorian house. The current owners have overseen a considerable renovation of the home, including the addition of a new kitchen and a garden terrace. Details have been added with utmost attention to salubrious effect, complemented by a generous garden at the rear.

The Tour

A dark-painted front door in the home’s decorated stucco-and-brick frontage opens to a lateral corridor that stretches the length of the apartment, with oak floorboards underfoot.

Directly ahead is the living room, a bright space flooded with generous southerly daylight drawn in through a large double-glazed canted bay window. A sense of openness is further maximised by walls washed with Farrow & Ball’s ‘School House White’, while engineered oak runs beneath. Fluted glass panels in the wall and door allow light to flood the hallway beyond, and alcoves have been neatly fitted with bespoke shelving and cupboards.

A new kitchen has been proudly installed with a distinctive ecological sensitivity. Cabinets are by Paul Miller Workshop, paired with worktops by Foresso – a Birmingham-based manufacturer that uses timber offcuts, plaster waste, and resin to produce a terrazzo-like sheet material – walls are finished in 'Safe Play' by coat Paints and grey rubber flooring from The Colour Flooring Company is underfoot. New appliances include double ovens from AEG, and, from here, a door leads out to a shaded side garden.

An adjacent bedroom (currently used as a study and guest bedroom) has access to the garden via a rear bay door, lending the room a distinctly secluded, restful quality. The principal bedroom is beside the living room, with walls in 'Persipan', an earthy shade by coat Paints, and a built-in wardrobe. Just beyond, a bathroom has been fitted with a bathtub and overhead shower, next to a neatly positioned separate WC.

Outdoor Space

A garden extends at the rear of the house, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature herbaceous planting. Easterly light is gently dispersed throughout the morning, while a private decked terrace catches the afternoon sun alongside areas of cooling shade. A cellar on the basement level provides additional storage space, and there is bike storage in the front courtyard garden with a green planted roof.

The Area

St Asaph Road is positioned in Telegraph Hill, a verdant and vibrant residential neighbourhood in south-east London. Just moments away lie the upper and lower Telegraph Hill Parks, with tennis courts, a weekly farmers' market, The Hill Station cafe (serving D4100 pizza), and sweeping views across the city skyline. The area comes alive each spring with the annual Telegraph Hill Festival, celebrating local arts, music, and performance.

Several brilliant independent destinations surround the neighbourhood, with the Nunhead Gardener and many yoga and fitness studios (Renaissance, Mindfit and Mica) close by. A short stroll leads to Brockley and Nunhead, both renowned for their flourishing food and drink scenes. Local favourites include Skehan’s, Good As Gold, Joyce, and Browns of Brockley.

Transport across London is excellent. Brockley Station is a short walk away with London Overground services directly to Shoreditch High Street, Canada Water (for the Jubilee line), and Highbury & Islington, alongside Southern Rail services to London Bridge. Equidistant Nunhead Station provides Thameslink and Southeastern Rail connections to Victoria, Blackfriars and King’s Cross St Pancras.
