67a, Durham Rise, London, SE18 7TQ

This vibrant three-bedroom house is in a tranquil spot in Plumstead, south-east London.

Built in the 19th century, it was converted in the 1970s and subsequently renovated in recent years by its architect-owner.

There is a private garden outside, with room to grow potted plants and dine outdoors. Plumstead Common is five minutes away, while Plumstead station can be reached in 10 minutes on foot.

The Tour This detached house occupies a secluded and quiet spot in Plumstead. Set back from the street behind a private front garden, it is approached via a secure, gated entrance.

Living accommodation is arranged across two volumes that wrap around two sides of the front patio, accessible from the house through a series of doorways along the front elevation.

Leafy climbers trace their way up the brick façade, lined with large glazing and plenty of greenery. The main entrance door opens to a bright hall on the ground floor, washed in vibrant yellow.

To the left is a spacious reception room, thoughtfully arranged with the sitting and dining areas. Tall, east-facing bay windows frame views of the garden while inviting natural light to pour in.

Hardwood oak flooring underfoot grounds the space with its natural texture.

From the hallway, quarry tiles guide towards the kitchen, where dual-aspect glazing draws in light from sunrise until sunset.

Timber units run along two sides, with the same wood utilised for the work surface. Appliances include a stainless steel range cooker with gas hob and a dishwasher.

There is also an adjacent storage room comprising a pantry with open shelving and a convenient workbench, and a bright office with an adjoining bathroom.

Stairs provide access to the lower ground floor, passing a muted green wall on the descent. Two quiet bedrooms are found here; the principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe.

A spacious bathroom has a mosaic-tiled floor. Both bedrooms have rooflights that exaggerate a sense of volume.

Outdoor Space Accessed from both the kitchen and the main reception area, a generous paved patio garden extends at the front of the house.

Facing south-east, it is bordered by leafy greenery and planted with a variety of perennials. There is also a generous dining area, ideal for summertime soirée.
