Why Settle For Communal Gardens When You Can Own 80 Feet Of Private West-Facing Magnolia, Cherry Trees And Birdsong - All Just 6 Minutes From The Train? This gorgeous garden flat is the perfect mix of charm and calm, on one of Brockley’s best streets.

From the moment you walk in, there’s a real sense of calm and space. 

On the lower level, both bedrooms are a brilliant size, each getting plenty of natural light that gently shifts throughout the day. One looks out onto the quiet street, the other onto lush greenery - a peaceful view of your own private garden.

Upstairs at ground level, the living room is bathed in morning light, thanks to that beautiful east-facing bay. There’s a fireplace for cosy evenings and come spring, the cherry tree outside turns pink and glorious. 

The kitchen is bright and well laid out, with original doors that open directly onto the balcony - the perfect spot for golden hour dinners or drinks…

And then there’s the garden.

Private, west-facing and over 80ft long, this is the kind of outdoor space that makes you pause for thought.

Magnolia, apple and cherry trees, a fig tree, a rose arch, wild bluebells and birdsong from morning through to dusk…and it’s all yours. 

It was professionally landscaped five years ago, and now feels effortlessly grown-in and established - perfect for pottering, hosting or just escaping with a cuppa and a book.

At the back of the flat, a handy utility room keeps the boiler and laundry tucked away and gives you easy access straight out to the garden. 

There’s also a Nest heating system, so you can control the warmth of your home directly from your phone - no more coming back to a cold flat in the winter.

Tressillian Road is one of the most-loved streets in Brockley - leafy, peaceful and genuinely friendly. 

At one end, you’ve got the fabulous Brockley Market every Saturday morning. 

And at the other, Hilly Fields park with its tennis courts, Forest School and a café that’s ideal for a post-run pastry.

St Johns station is just six minutes walk away, with trains whisking you to London Bridge in under ten minutes. Brockley and Lewisham stations are also close by. 

You’ve also got Elverson Road DLR about 15 minutes away - ideal for Canary Wharf or Bank commuters. 

There’s an excellent local primary school - Ashmead (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) - and a whole host of independent restaurants, pubs and cafés within walking distance. 

Mauby, Good As Gold, The Talbot and Ellery’s are all welcoming and loved by the locals.

So if you’re looking for a South London flat with light, space and a private and peaceful garden to call your own - this is it. 

Get in touch if you’d like to come and see it for yourself.
