Beautiful Victorian townhouse ten minutes by train from the centre of London Town!
Our beautiful house is located in Brockley, South East London. It`s a 4 double bedroom Victorian terrace with a large reception room, kitchen, basement, bathroom and a separate toilet downstairs.
It has those lovely Victorian features such as Bay Windows and ornate coving but at the same time feels modern and clean. There is no clutter but it has all of the appliances and resources you would expect. There’s a Combi Boiler which provides hot water on demand and an efficient heating system that heats the house up quickly and keeps it warm!
It also has a small but beautiful garden with a raised deck which catches the sun for most of the day. It’s light and bright, peaceful and quiet.
The photographs show our house as we use it on a day to day basis. Two of the double bedrooms are used as informal offices. However, we have double beds to put in these two rooms. There is also an additional double sofa bed in the lounge opposite a wall mounted Smart TV.
The house is very safe and secure. There are 12 point locks on all the doors. Brockley is a lovely safe area with a village feel. It’s a great example of the best of London’s cosmopolitan populace.
We have lived here for 25 years. Our neighbours are lovely and there is a nice friendly vibe on the street. Parking is easy and free.
