About
Five double bedrooms, three bathrooms, a cinema room, over 2,200 sq ft of accommodation and a 105 ft garden backing onto green space. There's certainly no shortage of room here.
Welcome to Cambridge Drive in Lee Green. This handsome, detached family home has been in the same ownership for 18 years, and it's not difficult to understand why.
With generous accommodation across three floors, a wonderfully versatile ground floor and an enormous rear garden, it's a house that has served one family through many different stages of family life.
The attractive Tudor-style frontage and substantial driveway make a great first impression, with off-street parking for four to five cars and an EV charging point.
Inside, the layout offers something increasingly difficult to find - plenty of separate spaces without compromising on the areas where everyone can come together.
The main reception room sits at the front of the house, with a large bay window, shutters and a contemporary feature fireplace.
Adjoining this is a dedicated home office, ideal for anyone working from home, while towards the rear of the house you'll find a separate cinema room - perfect for film nights, gaming or simply somewhere for the children (or adults!) to escape to.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a generous space in its own right, with extensive storage, integrated appliances and a central island with breakfast seating.
It opens directly into a substantial, approximately 20 ft conservatory, currently arranged as both a dining room and additional sitting room.
Surrounded by glazing and overlooking the garden, it's a lovely space for entertaining or simply spending time together. A separate utility room and ground-floor shower room add further practicality.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress.
The first floor provides three comfortable double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom featuring both a separate shower and whirlpool bath.
There's also a further shower room on this floor. The second floor offers two more genuine double bedrooms, both with excellent proportions, together with an additional WC and useful eaves storage.
Whether you need bedrooms for a growing family, guest accommodation or extra working space, there's plenty of flexibility. And then there's the garden.
Measuring approximately 105 ft in length, it's a real feature of the house.
A generous paved terrace immediately outside the conservatory provides plenty of room for outdoor dining, while further along there's a separate seating area centred around a firepit.
Mature trees and established planting create a wonderfully green setting, with a long stretch of lawn and an outlook towards the Old Colfeians Sports Ground beyond the rear boundary.
For a house of this size, the location is equally appealing.
Cambridge Drive is an established residential road in Lee Green, within easy reach of Lee station, which provides direct rail connections to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Cannon Street.
Colfe's School is nearby, along with local shops and amenities, while Manor House Gardens and Blackheath offer further opportunities for green space, cafés and restaurants.
After 18 years of family life, the current owners are moving on. For the next family, this is an opportunity to enjoy the space, versatility and garden that have made it such a long-term home.
