Description

The house and schools

One of only a handful of properties along this road from this period, the property is located in proximity to some of the most sought-after schools in the area. Several of the local schools were rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted and according to the website the property is also in the catchment of both Harris Boys and Harris Girls academy East Dulwich. In addition, Honor Oak station is approximately 0.2 miles away and recreational facilities can also be found within 0.5 miles around the house.

If you‘re seeking a family home in proximity of highly acclaimed schools and a local train station with travel times to central London of approximately 15 minutes (to London Bridge) you should consider this house on Garthorne Road in SE23.

The house has been modernised internally and offers a economical footprint with potential to extend subject to consents required.

You’ll note as you look through the HD video, images, and virtual reality tour some of the striking features of the house include:

•This period of house benefits from window openings that are larger than many others. You will note the porch glazing is almost floor to ceiling and the lounge window is both deeper and wider than many might expect. This is true of the windows on the upper floor too some of which offer a almost panoramic view. A great benefit of this is that the front and rear of the house faces East and West meaning these windows allow lots of natural light into the house through the day.

•Spacious front room which differs in shape and size to many of the houses locally especially due to the direct connection with the kitchen dining room which creates an open plan feel downstairs making entertaining easy

•There is built in storage in multiple rooms including the hallway, living room and bedrooms

•The porch is a great practical space to store outdoor wear, shoes, bikes and scooters

•The house feels private in person as it doesn’t feel over-looked at the front or back

•The house is set back from the road giving you a feeling of distance from the surrounding properties but providing a nice front aspect view down the opposite side of the road

•The garden is circa 45 ft and being westerly facing captures the afternoon and evening sun. The arrangement of a patio area and lawned area makes it a great entertaining space as well as practical for playing games and enjoying outside dining / entertaining. There is also the added benefit of a garden shed.
The location


Apart from emergency access, the road is closed at the junction with Grierson Road. This means it is quieter than many in the area. Due to this and because the house is set back many buyers may think it feels more like a cul de sac.

Garthorne nature reserve is located behind the property which creates a beautiful lush green backdrop with plenty of birdsong. The owners have explained to us how they have enjoyed this greatly during their time in the property. They have also enjoyed the confidence of not having buildings built in close proximity to you due to the nature reserve.

You may read more about the nature reserve here and discover why is so loved by the locals and such a benefit to live nearby. You can also read a bit about the history of the area including details on the Great North Wood and the Croydon Canal:

Undoubtedly this house offers a great location if schools and transport are top of your list, however this location has even more to offer in the way of cafés, boutiques shops and numerous recreational facilities. We’d encourage buyers to explore the area and enjoy a coffee or dine in one of the many local eateries to appreciate the area.

Transport to central London stations from Honor Oak train station (which is approximately 0.3 miles from the house) includes some of the following travel times:

London Bridge in approximately 15 minutes

London Victoria in approximately 35 minutes

Canary Wharf in approximately 24 minutes

Some of our favourite local eateries include Mama Dough (a sour dough pizza restaurant) and the award-winning Babur Indian restaurant. There’s also the Honor Oak gastro pub and a selection of boutique cafes and shops.

There‘s also the popular Le Querce which is run by a Sardinian family serving traditional dishes.

Other local attractions include One Tree Hill which is just at the top of Honor Oak Rise and offers some of the most breath-taking views across London and the city skyline.

Blythe Hill Fields which is approximately one mile away and is known by the locals for its recreational facilities and regular events. One such facility is the Trim trail which is an exercise trail.

You may look up details about Blythe Hill Fields on their website:


The Horniman gardens and museum is another well-known local point of interest. With regular events such as a farmers market and live music, we believe this will be of interest to many buyers.
