A rare opportunity to own A characterful victorian cottage in the heart of the alexandra conservation area

Built in 1868, this charming two-bedroom semi-detached cottage is located on a peaceful residential street within the desirable alexandra conservation area in Penge. Carefully updated over the years, the property strikes the perfect balance between historic charm and modern convenience.

From the outside, the cottage is full of visual appeal, with roses climbing the front façade, a traditional victorian timber front door, and sash-style double-glazed windows that have been sympathetically replaced in keeping with the period aesthetic.

Inside, you’ll find a home full of original character, including stripped wooden floorboards, working cast iron period fireplace, and tasteful feature walls that add warmth and personality. The accommodation offers great flexibility, with two spacious reception rooms, one featuring an original fireplace, and a separate dining room ideal for entertaining.

The modern kitchen is fully fitted and flows into a well-designed utility area, providing additional practical space. A ground floor WC adds further convenience.

Upstairs are two large double bedrooms, both bright and airy thanks to generous natural light, along with a stylish bathroom fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite.

Outside, the south east-facing rear garden is a true sanctuary, with a well-kept lawn, mature plants, small trees, planters, a patio seating area, and a shed — ideal for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply relaxing in peace.
The garden also benefits from a summer house which has the potential to be upgraded to a home office / gym.

The location is ideal, offering easy access to penge high street, a choice of local train stations, and a vibrant mix of cafés, restaurants, and pubs. Well-regarded schools and nurseries are nearby, as well as green open spaces and parks that are perfect for weekend strolls or family time.

This unique period home offers a rare chance to purchase a well-maintained victorian cottage in one of Penge’s most attractive conservation areas. Not to be missed.
