Your local stations? Are New Cross Gate and Queens Road Peckham. Both are a 12 minute walk, Fare Zone 2, and on the Overground network. Bus travel is easy from here, too. The 21 whizzes you to London Bridge, and the 453 to Trafalgar Square. And you can easily connect with tube travel at London Bridge or Elephant & Castle.

Car parking is currently unrestricted on Edric and surrounding streets, and a couple of bike hangars are seconds away, on Edric Road and Avonley Road.

A beech hedged and railed front gated garden fronts the house. We love the traditional newly tiled pathway with porcelain tiles.

From your welcoming hall, a traditional through-reception rests to your left, original (professionally sanded) floor boards pleasingly flowing through from the hall. The front room is over 13 feet by over 8 feet. Reception two is over 11 feet by over 9 feet. Both have column radiators, and custom-made shutters to their respective windows. Doors divide or connect as the mood takes. Feature coving and ceiling roses, sash windows and twin fireplaces further impress.

At the foot of the hall you have your double-aspect kitchen/dining room, running over 23 feet by nearly 12 feet, to a substantial picture window onto garden vistas. Another bay window is the perfect spot for your table and chairs.

The timeless and sleek fitted kitchen (Puccini, May 2025) includes a double pantry/larder, brand new integrated appliances including a Miele dishwasher, and porcelain counters plus splashbacks. Underfloor heating completes the room.

Going down the stairs now from inside, the lower ground floor delivers a generous bedroom/movie/games room (you choose!). This is over 14 feet by over 13 feet, with fitted cabinetry and custom media unit, a smart en-suite shower room, and a dedicated plumbed utility area. Laundry appliances are included in the sale.

Up to the first floor and from the half-landing you have a neat windowed shower room. Next door is the property's main (windowed) bathroom. Both have smart modern sanitary ware. At the back of the house is bedroom one - of over 10 feet by over 9 feet, with a built-in wardrobe to the corner by the window. All your first floor bedrooms have custom-made window shutters to their sash windows.

From the landing proper there is another double bedroom to your right (of 11 feet by nearly 10 feet). This is currently enjoyed as a home office. Walls and floorboards are white, and a feature fireplace sits centrally.

The principal bedroom takes the width of the house. It's over 15 feet by nearly 11 feet, with a wall-spanning, floor-to ceiling bank of fitted wardrobes and smart inserts.

Access useful (boarded out) loft space from the landing area.

A bit about the area: Hatcham CA is a quiet tucked-away residential pocket of south London. From 1614, the land was owned by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. When the manor house ('Hatcham Park') was demolished circa 1840, terraced homes were permitted to be built. Rescued from demolition in the seventies, Hatcham Conservation Area was designated by Lewisham Council in 1990.

Stroll - passing further Victorian housing stock - 12 minutes New Cross Gate Station. There are also plenty of day and night bus routes within a short walk of the house; to Elephant & Castle and beyond, or to Peckham, Deptford, Greenwich, Brockley and Lewisham.

Local parks include Telegraph Hill (Upper and Lower, with Saturday Farmers' Market, or hop on a bus down to Brockley Market), Southwark and Fordham Parks. There are also two little neighbourhood parks: Eckington Gardens and Bridgehouse Meadows. Besson Street Community Garden is a delightful local asset as well.

Local eateries, drinkeries and cafes of note include Corner (cafe/bar), The Old Library (bar plus music studios/live music venue), The Rose Inn, Cup.PhoBun and The Earl of Derby.

Nip down to neighbouring SE15 for more options, including Peckham Bazaar, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, Forza Wine, Artusi, Levan, Peckham Levels, and Il Giardino.

Cool Deptford has a top gastronomic and bar offering as well. We rate Jazu, Watergate (small plates, cocktails, wine), Marcella (modern Italian), Salt (pizza, craft beer) and The Dog & Bell pub to name a few.

Deptford also has a popular theatre: The Albany, and a modern leisure centre with lane pool and sauna/steam rooms, next door to the library.

New Cross is home to Goldsmiths University and a cool contemporary art gallery: Goldsmiths CCA.

Grab your fresh loaves from Blackbird Bakery by QRP station, or at Ayres on nearby Nunhead Lane. While you're in Nunhead, check out such delights as Soper's (wet fish shop), El Vermut and Mother Superior (fancy bottle shops with tables) Goodcup/Goodnights (coffee/cocktails) and Bar D4100 (bar and pizza).

Kids or on the horizon? Your most local primary is just at the end of the road (in a traditional Victorian school building with a modern architectural treatment by Jestico + Whiles, and which feeds to the secondary school based in New Cross's Telegraph Hill Conservation Area), Edmund Waller and Kender. Deptford Green is a second well-regarded local secondary school.
