..........

This is a rare opportunity to own a RIBA award-winning house built and owned by one of the directors of multi-award-winning 31/44 Architects.

Nestled amongst the Victorian terraces, mews buildings and garages of this South East London street, this former infill site has been transformed into a peaceful haven of bright, modern, flexible living. The house has been designed to be energy efficient and has underfloor heating throughout.

The ground floor entrance takes you into a hallway with built-in coat closet. From here you access the kitchen, bathed in light from the skylight above, with a neutral palette and natural textures. It has built in, handmade cabinetry and space for a large dining table. Beyond the kitchen is the living room, with access to two courtyards. This level is also home to a utility room, bedroom and further room that is currently used as an office/studio, but could be an additional bedroom, dining room or guest suite. There is access to a third courtyard (via the utility and bedroom) and there’s also a downstairs shower room. Throughout the groundfloor, birch-faced joinery with hidden hinges provides plenty of closed and open storage helping to divide the semi open plan space.

A curved timber staircase leads upstairs, illuminated by a large picture window with views over the street. Here the adaptable layout possibilities continue, with a family bathroom, and two double bedrooms that can be interconnected using sliding doors.

The house is positioned very close to both Manor Park and Manor House Gardens, with its expanse of green space and lake, café and playground. Hither Green is 0.4 miles away, with regular trains to London Bridge, Cannon Street and Charing Cross. Lewisham town centre, with trains to Victoria and a DLR station, is just over a mile away. The leafy areas of Blackheath and Greenwich Park are just down the road.
