Situated on Broadfield Road within the highly sought-after Corbett Estate, this brick fronted, beautifully presented garden flat is the perfect retreat for anyone looking for a slice of nature within easy reach of the city.

Built at the turn of the 20th century, this property reflects a blend of historic detail and modern convenience. The flat features a gorgeous separate living room, a bright and spacious kitchen and attractive, airy bedroom with direct access to the garden.

Original flooring throughout the hallway, living room and bedroom guides you through the space. In the spacious living room, you’re met with a large bay window, letting in the evening sun, and lovely brick fireplace with log burner. The excellent presentation continues into the kitchen, where recently installed shaker cabinetry, beautiful green tiling and wooden countertops create an elegant finish with room for a small table and chairs.

The garden really is the cherry on top of this wonderful home. Curated from scratch by the current owners, its thoughtful design includes two large decks, a pergola, a garden shed and wonderfully maintained foliage. To the back of the garden is a significantly sized garden office with electricity and internet, large enough for a sofa, sizeable desk and bookshelf.

Built by the renowned Victorian Builder, Archibald Cameron Corbett, Broadfield Road lies to the east of the Corbett Estate, and construction started in 1901.

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 architecture, local schools, and green space.
