Propertyworld is delighted to present this exceptional three-bedroom semi-detached cottage - one of just twelve - within the iconic St Johns Cottages, built between 1863 and 1864 by renowned architect Edwin Nash
Rich in period character and thoughtfully updated to an impeccable standard, this remarkable home effortlessly blends heritage charm with stylish, contemporary living.
Situated within easy reach of Penge West (for direct trains to London Bridge and the Overground to Shoreditch, Dalston and Highbury) and Penge East (with services to Victoria and Blackfriars), it offers excellent transport links for city commuters.
Step inside to a bright, welcoming hallway with elegant tiled flooring.
A fully tiled ground floor bathroom includes a floating W/C, marble sill detailing, and feature finishes.
The open-plan dining area is positioned at the front to catch the southern light, adjoining a hand-crafted kitchen fitted with bespoke cabinetry, solid walnut shelving, a Cambria quartz worktop and splashback, and an anti-limescale filtration system.
A step leads down to the light-filled rear living space, showcasing wall-to-wall bi-fold doors, twin Velux windows, bespoke oak flooring, and a beautifully crafted solid walnut media unit. Wired discreetly for a Dolby Atmos surround system - it’s the perfect setting for modern entertaining.
Upstairs, you’ll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with plush carpeting and double glazing. There’s also a convenient additional W/C and wash basin.
The south-facing front garden is a delight, awash with mature planting, flowering borders, and established apple and pear trees.
To the rear, enjoy a peaceful and private garden retreat with balau hardwood decking, cedar fencing, and vibrant blooms—alongside a versatile powered shed, ideal as a workshop or home gym.
We've loved living in this little haven: it is tucked away and peaceful, yet we're just steps from the buzz of Penge High Street and brilliant transport links. The south-facing garden is a joy, especially on sunny afternoons. We’ve felt so lucky to be part of a warm, supportive community - our neighbours really have become friends.
Inside, we’ve poured so much care into renovating the place: it’s full of character but with all the modern comforts we’ve come to cherish.
