4 Bed Terraced House For Sale

30 Years Of Family Life In Every Brick, Every Beautifully Restored Floorboard, Every Carefully Chosen Upgrade. This isn’t a quick flip or a stark new showhome. It’s a much-loved family home in one of SE4’s most friendly, convenient and greenest corners.

Set across three spacious floors, this Edwardian mid-terrace wears its history proudly - from decorative coving and ceiling roses to high ceilings, stained glass in the hallway and original fireplaces that add charm and a sense of bygone continuity throughout.

There are four bedrooms in total- three large doubles, plus a smaller double currently used as a home office. The entire top floor is a light-filled master suite with treetop views, clever eaves storage and a Juliet balcony that catches the morning sun. 

On the first floor, you’ll also find a stylish family bathroom with lovely cornflower blue brick tiles and original fireplaces in both main bedrooms.

The ground floor layout gives you the best of both worlds - at the front, a separate lounge offers a quiet, cosy retreat with sash windows, a cast-iron radiator and a period fireplace. At the rear, a light and bright kitchen diner opens directly onto a raised deck, creating a relaxed space for everyday living and summer evenings spent outside.

The garden stretches 18 metres - lush, mature and low maintenance, with a pond at the end that’s home to frogs, newts and more than a few childhood memories.

Everything’s been thoughtfully looked after here - from the roof extension and recently redecorated exterior to the double glazed sash windows, garden fencing and annually serviced boiler. 

Even the cellar shows the care taken over the years: dry enough to preserve a stash of wartime magazines in perfect condition.

Then there’s the location. Francemary Road is a small, close-knit street where neighbours chat on the pavement or on WhatsApp and gather for the annual street party.

Ladywell Village is just a short walk away - with cafés, a deli, the much-loved Ladywell Tavern and even a film-famous 1950s ballroom at nearby Crofton Park. 

There’s La Delice for homemade cakes, Wilson’s for intimate dinners, and Mama Dough for family pizza nights. The high street still has a proper butcher, greengrocer and hardware store - alongside a handy Sainsbury’s Local for everything else.

Green spaces abound: Hilly Fields, Ladywell Fields and the wildlife-rich cemetery are all within a five minutes walk. You can walk the river to Beckenham Place Park, spotting herons and kingfishers along the way.

Heading out and about is also a breeze. Ladywell Station (only 7 mins walk away) takes you to London Bridge in 10 minutes. Crofton Park (10 mins) connects via Thameslink, and Brockley’s Overground links get you to Canada Water in less than 10 minutes. There are also bus routes to Lewisham, Brixton and Crystal Palace.

The highly regarded Gordonbrock Primary and Prendergast Secondary are within a five minute walk and are both rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.

It’s the kind of house you and your family will grow into, not out of. And the kind of street that will feel like home before you’ve even unpacked.
