5 bed maisonette for sale

Manor Avenue, Brockley SE4

Offers in excess of £1,100,000.

Huge - and hugely cool - five bedroom maisonette, within an imposing semi-detached Victorian townhouse, delivered over three floors and 1626 square feet. Chain free.

An independent garage (access to side of house), a mature walled west-facing garden, and two sunny terraces (one off the kitchen, one off a top floor bedroom) complete the fantastic and rare offering.

Find your new home on a wide street lined with mature trees, within beautiful Brockley Conservation Area.

You are close to excellent local schools (including Ashmead Primary), Brockley’s popular Saturday Market, and just a nine minute walk from both Brockley and St Johns stations. You are also but a 12 minute walk from New Cross and Deptford DLR stations. All are Fare Zone 2. There are buses aplenty on nearby Lewisham Way as well.

There is just one property below yours and you each have your own front door. Yours is at raised ground floor level - take a few steps to reach it. You open into a welcoming high-ceilinged hall. To your right is a formal sash-windowed front reception/living room, of over 12 feet each way. Welcome features here include wooden floors, a wood-burner, picture rail, coving and rose detail, and a slimline column radiator.

Next door is your bright and architecturally-treated kitchen/dining room. Fitted wall and base units and a breakfast bar are modern. There is a cute windowed pantry, too, off the natural dining area. Double-glazed double doors open to your terrace - a super spot for entertaining friends and family. The garden is well-stocked with a mature wisteria, and plenty of year-round interest. A useful area rests at the back of this floor.

On the way up to the first floor, you have a handy guest w.c. The first floor landing leads you to three bedrooms (these are over 10 feet by over 9 feet, over 13 feet by over 7 feet, and over 13 feet by over 9 feet), and a family bathroom - with attractive traditional suite and both a free-standing bath and an independent walk-in shower. Two double-glazed windows keep matters bright.

The second floor hosts two further bedrooms and another bathroom. Bedroom four is over 15 feet by over 12 feet, with two sash windows and a loft-style vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Bedroom five is over 13 feet by over 13 feet, and is the access point for your roof terrace/balcony space. A real bonus and lovely by day or by evening.

Where are you? In a very good position indeed! At your feet are the centres of Brockley, New Cross, Deptford and Greenwich. Blackheath, Peckham and Camberwell are also a short bus ride/drive/cycle. You are also close to Goldsmiths University with Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art gallery (gcca). Your local pub - The Talbot - is a strong one. Book ahead for your roast!

Deptford High Street (walk 10 or so minutes) is a great spot to hang out. Deptford Market Yard has a wonderful European vibe and lots of places for socialising, eating and drinking. The best pub around is The Dog & Bell (cross the road at the end of the high street). Near this is The Watergate - a cute restaurant with small plates and good cocktails.

In Brockley we like Brockley’s glorious Saturday market (held in Lewisham College’s walled car park), Ellary’s, Mauby and Brickfields. Also worthy of note is The Rivoli Ballroom (with various pop-up evenings including dances and film screenings), Brockley Brewery, and not to be missed: Hilly Fields Park, which has a brilliant summer fete each year.
