Bovill Road, Lewisham, London, SE23 1EU

A first floor flat with real character, set in a handsome red brick Victorian terrace on a quiet residential turning between Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill.

The good original details are all still here — deep cornicing, ceiling roses, cast iron and tiled fireplaces, and tall windows fitted with plantation shutters.

The living and dining room runs across the front of the building and is easily the best space in the flat.

A bay window at one end and a second window alongside pull in light all afternoon, softened by the shutters.

Deep sage walls, alcove shelving either side of the chimney breast, and an original fireplace framed in amber tiles. There is genuine room here for a full sofa arrangement and a full dining table.

Wide oak boards run underfoot. The kitchen sits at the rear, tucked away from the living space. Dark shaker units, solid wood worktops and a deep farmhouse sink with a brass tap.

There is a gas hob, a built-in oven with extra prep space. A large window over the garden side keeps it bright, and the tiled floor makes it easy to keep clean.

The bedroom is a generous double and a complete change of mood — crisp white walls, a cast iron fireplace, built-in cupboards to one side and its own set of shutters.

Off the hallway there is a separate room currently set up as a home office.

The shower room is fully tiled, with a large walk-in shower and a period style basin with brass fittings, and it takes natural light from its own window.

The property aslo has well maintained private garden.

Bovill Road puts you within a few minutes' walk of Honor Oak Park station and its parade of cafés, delis and pubs, with One Tree Hill and Blythe Hill Fields close by for weekend walks and some of the best views in south London.
