Longshore, Deptford, London, SE8

Architecture & Interior

Located in a converted Georgian terrace of seven properties (comprising twenty flats), facing a park square and with attractive gated communal gardens to the rear. Your front door opens onto a generous high ceilinged hallway with period features, shared with two other flats.

The living room is exceptionally bright, overlooking the traditional square with mature trees, it is flooded with natural light through the original sash windows. Period features include original Georgian wooden shutters, skirting boards and picture rail, cast iron radiators, and pine flooring.

The kitchen has iroko hardwood counter tops and high-quality appliances. The kitchen opens onto the private paved terrace, which is not overlooked, space for six people to sit, plus additional storage. A gate leads to the well-maintained communal gardens which are a huge part of life in ‘The Terrace’, with a community vegetable plot all within a walled garden.

The tranquil bedroom looks onto these quiet gardens; a beautiful space; a haven of calm away from the world.

The bathroom is finished with traditional fittings, full bath and overhead shower – with great water pressure! Both bathroom and kitchen are recently refurbished.

Neighbours get to know each other in a classic London terrace such as this, taking pride in the approach to life, almost becoming protective custodians of the property for the future. Pets are equally happy!

Street permit parking is available right outside, and there is communal bike storage to the rear.

All furniture pictured is also included as part of the sale.
