3 Bed Terraced House For Sale

Situated on Amersham Road in New Cross, this three-bedroom terrace house is a striking blend of Victorian proportions and contemporary design. Meticulously transformed and extended by Paul Archer Design, the house is defined by playful additions that complement its beautiful original features. Large sash windows flood every room with natural light, enhancing the bright interiors. The house also has a large rear garden dotted with mature trees, with ample space for outdoor furniture.

The Tour



The house is set back from the road behind a neat front garden. A stained glass fanlight crowns a distinctive pink front door. Inside, the floor of the entrance hall is lined with colourful geometric Amtico tiles, setting the tone for the rest of the house. The voluminous reception room is filled with natural light because of the large bay windows and French doors to the garden. Two original fireplaces are complemented by oak parquet flooring.



Towards the rear is a generous kitchen with a fireplace and space for a dining table. Here, sleek matt black cabinetry with an oak veneer cleverly conceals appliances. The windows frame views of the leafy surroundings, and glazed doors open to the garden.



The first floor has been given over entirely to the main bedroom suite. Thoughtfully designed, the main bedroom sits at the front of the plan, defined by its large sash windows, while the bathroom is at the back. A walk-n wardrobe cleverly connects the two, creating a private sanctuary on this floor.



On the top floor, two additional bedrooms are bright and airy. Perched at the top of the house, both have sloping ceilings, with one currently used as a study with a roll-top bath. The other, facing the garden, has an Amtico tiled floor and is acoustically insulated and used as a music studio.



The bright family bathroom on the first floor is defined by herringbone pale pink ceramic tiles accented by brass fixtures.



Outdoor Space



A large garden accessed from the living room and the kitchen extends at the rear. A front portion is paved with square flagstones in front of a rectangular lawn. Mature shrubbery, trees, and a brick wall combine to create a tranquil and verdant space perfect for relaxing.
