Situated on Ardgowan Road on the highly sought after Corbett Estate and within close proximity to Hither Green station, this beautifully presented four bedroom home feels modern whilst retaining its Victorian charm and character. The property offers a serene sanctuary with calming Farrow and Ball painted walls and flourishes of marble.
As you enter, you’ll find a spacious entryway with lightly sanded and oiled original pine floorboards, which continue throughout the ground floor. In the light-filled living space, you are met with a large bay window, letting in ample sun, and one of two highly attractive fireplaces. The spacious dining area houses the second fireplace with room for a large dining table. This leads into a generously sized kitchen with marble worktops and a highly functional nickel Qooker tap.
Despite its already generous proportions, the house is yet to be extended, and so there is significant potential to add value, with scope to extend to create a larger kitchen space if required. The owners were previously granted planning permission for this.
Moving to the outdoor space we are presented with a large, well proportioned garden with a seating area. The garden compliments the home, offering a peaceful space to unwind, and an inviting one for children to play.
Upstairs, two light-filled and spacious double bedrooms and a single bedroom / office space in turn leads to a further bedroom on the second floor. The three rooms on the first floor are airy and peaceful with high ceilings, with one of the double bedrooms having built in storage either side of the chimney breast.
An elegant family bathroom featuring marble tiling and a beautiful deco inspired opaline pendant captures a mood of calm serenity. The bright and spacious second-floor bedroom has further storage and a second bathroom whilst boasting panoramic views of South London.
Built by the renowned Victorian Builder, Archibald Cameron Corbett, Ardgowan Road is one of the main arteries of the Corbett Estate, whilst maintaining a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. This particular property lies a stones throw away from Hither Green station, allowing quick, easy and direct access into the central of London.
Archibald Corbett, a Scottish property developer, MP, and philanthropist, was recognized as the biggest house builder in suburban London at the end of the 19th century. His vision for the Corbett Estate was to create healthy living spaces, featuring homes with generous front and back gardens along wide streets, fostering a strong sense of community that still prevails today. The Corbett Estate attracts many artists and families with its blend of Victorian and Edwardian architecture, local schools, and green space.
The neighbourhood has a strong local community, with a supportive and family-oriented spirit. The immediate area boasts many independently owned businesses such as resident favourite shop Torrindon convenience store and coffee shop Flour and Flower. Forster park, and Abbotshall community centre are both a short walk away, with Forster park boasting beautiful woodlands and open spaces, and Abbotshall fields providing a social hub for families, hosting regular community events.
The locale is also rich in educational opportunities, with a selection of local nursery and primary schools within proximity, including Sandhurst, Torridon, and Holy Cross. Prestigious independent schools like St Dunstan’s College and Colfe’s are nearby.
Hither Green station is less than 10 minutes away by foot, providing easy access into London, with direct Southeastern services taking around 10-15 minutes to reach London Bridge. Trains also regularly go to Charing Cross and Cannon Street.
Hither Green is highly regarded for its thriving community and a variety of independent shops with favourites including Arlo & Mo, Three Sisters, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Crimson and Clover, Park Fever, and Found Hope, making it a hotspot for those seeking a dynamic and engaging community.
Catford centre, earmarked for significant growth and development, is becoming increasingly popular among homebuyers and investors. The area is renowned for its intact period housing, transport connections, and diverse community. The Catford Arts Trail is an event which encourages the community to visit the studios and homes of local artists and makers.
Ambitious regeneration plans aim to make Catford one of the most vibrant and green town centres in London. Favourite local haunts include Good Food, La Pizzeria Italiana and Taro. Transport connections are excellent; the Catford and Catford Bridge stations provide easy access to central London; from Catford the network runs Thameslink services to London Blackfriars and Sevenoaks, while Catford Bridge Southeastern services run to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Hayes.
Further afield, Blackheath, Beckenham, Brockley, Bromley and Greenwich offer additional leisure and cultural experiences, all within a manageable distance, for weekend exploration.
These South East London pockets are also home to a choice of green spaces, conservation areas and local arts and community festivals.
