Slide Back The Doors And Watch Your Kitchen-Diner Turn Into A Garden Room. The south-facing lawn and the built-in BBQ are right outside, while minimal frame skylights keep the island bright. Fully renovated in 2024, with the best of Brockley and Hilly Fields just a five minute walk away.

Picture your first Friday evening in the new house. The patio doors are open, the unpacking can wait and the biggest decision is where to eat.

The whole house was renovated from top to bottom in 2024, so moving in is the easy part. Just unpack the kettle then wander down to Joyce at the end of the road or over to Break the Fast - the new popular brunch spot.

The thoughtfully considered renovation includes a side return extension designed by RJHastings Architecture. Minimal-frame glazing keeps the view clear, so the 43ft south-facing garden fills the room all day.

When the sliding doors are open, the garden becomes part of the kitchen. Daylight drops through the skylights onto the island, and the sunny lawn is only a step away.

The kitchen is brand new, with quartz worktops and Claybrook Studio tiles in wine and almond behind the hob. Every appliance is new too, from the induction hob and AEG combination microwave oven to the dishwasher and fridge freezer. A larder and bar cupboard keep everything close to hand, and underfloor heating warms the floor underfoot.

Outside, the outdoor kitchen has a Napoleon built-in gas grill with an infrared burner, and there’s storage underneath for the barbecue and garden bits and bobs.

Two patio areas and a large lawn leave space to eat in one spot and relax in another, while planters of trees at the back add privacy.

Back inside, the Victorian double doors between the living room and dining room have been kept, along with the period architraves and real wooden floors. A traditional-style stair rail is newly installed, and Corston Architectural Hardware runs through the house, from the light switches and lighting to the door and cabinet handles.

A cloakroom looks after coats, and a utility cupboard hides the washer and dryer.

The downstairs WC has a Burlington sink and a Lusso toilet, along with underfloor heating, and there’s a cellar for storage.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has built-in wardrobes with rails and drawers, with two more bedrooms along the landing. The family bathroom has a double “his and hers” Lusso sink and a matching Lusso toilet, with Otto Tiles on the floor. Every radiator in the house is new, with a Nest thermostat to control them.

Braxfield Road is a quiet Brockley Ladder street with plenty of free on-street parking. At the front, the house has been repointed and has a new patio.

Hilly Fields is a 5 minute walk away, with Ladywell Fields also close by.

The Co-op at the end of the road is handy for a loaf of bread or a pint of milk, and Brickfields is another spot for an after work drink. Brockley Rock does award-winning fish and chips, and there’s a reformer Pilates studio close by.

Brockley station is only a seven minute walk away, with trains to London Bridge taking 12 minutes and Overground services towards Highbury and Islington.

Crofton Park is also within easy reach for Thameslink through Blackfriars and Farringdon.

Both John Stainer and Gordonbrock primaries are highly regarded, and Prendergast Hilly Fields secondary is a short walk away. Beecroft Garden is also nearby.

If your ideal Saturday includes taking in the best of Brockley then welcoming friends around the island with the garden doors wide open, this is the house to come and see.

We’re expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
