BRICKWORKS SAYS

Loving attention has been poured into this four-bedroom home, which has been extended and enhanced to create a welcoming atmosphere. The downstairs has been thoughtfully redesigned, with an industrial-chic kitchen you’ll want to congregate in and bi-fold doors that open onto a garden that bursts with blooms. This is an authentic outdoor living space––you can sit and enjoy the view or dine al fresco. And in cooler months, you can retreat to the cosiness of the studio, your very own getaway at the bottom of the garden.

The decor is bold and artfully executed. The colours create warmth and style—we particularly love the clay of the living room and the blue woodwork throughout. Upstairs, there are three charming bedrooms, each with its own personality, and a bathroom full of flair. The loft room is the epitome of escapism. Tucked away with the sun pouring through the skylights, it’s a place to enjoy quiet moments.

Part of the historical Corbett Estate, Ardfillan Road, is in an attractive part of Catford with a lively community spirit. Catford is on the cusp of having a moment, and with the independent Catford Mews Cinema and refreshed Catford Constitutional Club, complete with a Fairytop Garden Zoo, plus a monthly food market to get your fix of global street food, it’s easy to see why. And it’s not short on green spaces, with nearby Foster Park featuring ancient woodland and Mountsfield Park hosting events and a community garden.

THE OWNERS SAY

We have loved living in this wonderful family home in an area where we have made lifelong friends.

Our road is quiet and safe. The sense of community here has been an unexpected benefit of living in this peaceful pocket of South London, and we will miss it dearly.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
