Harcourt Road, Brockley, SE4

Bright and beautiful brand-new-build two double bedroom detached house with a cute courtyard garden, delivered by local design and development practice - Terrence. Chain free.

Find the house on a predominantly-residential street of Victorian houses, just a four minute walk from Brockley Station, and 10 from Crofton Park Station. You are also just a few minutes from coffee shops, conveniences, and bus routes.

As well as looking swell, the house has strong eco-credentials. You will enjoy green roofs, low energy heating (via an air source heat pump) and high spec. insulation - keeping bills pleasingly low. Other welcome features include a neutral decorative scheme, underfloor heating (to the ground floor), smart engineered wood flooring, and Velux windows (with electric controls - to cool the building when it's hot. They also cleverly close automatically if it rains!).

Further, the house has a MVHR system which retains warm air and mixes it with fresh cool air. This keeps the heat in, whilst bringing in fresh air.

Impressive attention to detail has been paid to acoustics, too: you have triple-glazed windows, and very high acoustic insulation - using two layers of acoustic board to ensure all of your interior spaces are quiet and relaxing.

A brick-built bin and bike store sits out front. In your front door and you land in a generous windowed entrance lobby with a built-in closet for coats and such. Stairs run up ahead. Open a door here and you have your open-plan kitchen/dining room/reception room, running 26 feet, to wall-spanning sliding doors onto the (very) private decked courtyard space.

There is good built-in storage to this main room, and a neat downstairs/guest w.c. The kitchen is a modern fitted affair, paired with green on-trend terrazzo worktop and splashback.

Your first floor hosts two delightful double bedrooms with roofline ceilings (so Scandi!). The larger of the two at the back of the building is 12 feet by 10 feet. The other is 12 feet by over 8 feet. Both have cool and space-saving 'pocket' doors. Between the two of these you have the property's Velux-windowed bathroom. Luxury decisions here include marble floor tiles, gorgeous wall tiles (from Solus Ceramics in Farringdon) and brass fixtures and fittings. We particularly love the very large shower head and the extra-wide bath.

A fine turnkey offering in a well-connected spot. Walk just a few minutes for Brockley Station; it's Fare Zone 2 and has regular and Overground services. Crofton Park Station has Thameslink services and is just a 10 minute walk.

Coffee shops, eateries and drinkeries we rate in the very local vicinity include Browns of Brockley, Brockley Brewery Taproom (your neighbour), Tai, Ellary's, Mauby, Brickfields, Sundae and Joyce.

Green space? Walk nine minutes to Hilly Fields with its great views and popular cafe and Saturday parkrun, or 15 to Telegraph Hill's pretty parks.

Brockley Market is a popular spot on Saturdays 10am-2pm; in Lewisham College car park (walk here in 15 minutes, through Brockley Conservation Area).
