Superb Three Bedroom Coach-House Conversion With Balcony.

Originally a coach-house to a nearby stately home, this magnificent period conversion plays host to the perfect marriage of quirky original charm and contemporary elegance. Spread over three lovely floors, the accommodation comprises a huge open plan living, dining and kitchen area (perfect for easy-living and lavish dinner parties), fancy shower room, second reception/movie room and three ample double bedrooms. One of the bedrooms enjoys access to a sunny decked balcony whilst the master is ensuite and leads to your pretty paved patio garden. The house feels wonderfully self-contained behind high wooden gates. It's peaceful, private and perfectly presented. Your nearest station is Forest Hill for trains to London Bridge - a mere 3 minute walk. The London Overground line supplies an impressive connectivity to the tube network and easy peasy access to Canada Water, Highbury & Islington and Dalston.

The handsome exterior, with original London stock brickwork, sits behind high wooden gates affording peace and privacy. Opening to a split-level triangular patio (with seamless wooden storage) you can choose to enter the house via a main door on your left or indeed wide bi-fold glass doors straight ahead. The living space stretches the full impressive width of the property and rises to double height with light cascading down through a lofty vaulted skylight. Wide wooden flooring runs vertically the full length of the space.

There's generous lounging, dining and entertaining space. The kitchen runs along the right-hand wall with solid oak counters atop smart navy cabinets. Appliances include an integrated dishwasher and super seven-ring gas range and there's a lovely double sink. Further floor to ceiling glass doors lead rear to your cute L-shaped patio garden which boasts raised planters and a peaceful vibe. The first of your double bedrooms sits off the living area with tonnes of slumber and storage space. Another set of bi-fold glass doors open to the garden - lovely for a morning coffee! There's an adjoining ensuite bathroom with gorgeous roll-top bath and period loo, cistern and wash hand basin. The floor tiles are dishy and there's a skylight above for illumination and ventilation.

To the rear of the living space you find a most-attractive shower room with gorgeous green tiling, brass fixtures and a large walk-in shower with mottled glass screen with drencher fitting. The lower ground floor living space offers a fine symmetrical room - perfect for working from home, yoga, teenage hideaway or home cinema! Heading up your insatiably bright and wide staircase you'll note a sublime curling hardwood handrail. The landing area allows you preside over the living space. It's airy and light and has space for shelving. Bedroom two is a peaceful double with fab vaulted ceiling, original wooden beams and slick grey walls. Across the landing you find bedroom three with much the same charm and wide double doors opening to a fantastic balcony.

Buses are a plenty on London Road and there are new eateries popping up every month! Sainsbury's is only a 1 minute walk. The Signal (formerly The Hobb) is moments away on this road too, ideal for Sunday lunch! For further eating and retail opportunities, fabulous East Dulwich (and well-loved Lordship Lane) is but a 10 minute walk, however in less than a minute's walk you are in central Forest Hill and all it has to offer. Green space? The Horniman Gardens is seriously close for a walk or a kick-about especially on a Saturday when there is a Farmer's Market. Sydenham Hill Wood, Mayow Park, Crystal Palace and the fabulous Dulwich Park are all easily reached - all within a 10 minute drive.
