Gellatly Road, London, SE14

This substantial end-of-terrace period home in Telegraph Hill offers a rare opportunity for those willing to invest the time and capital to create a truly one-of-one family home in SE14.

A substantial period house with endless possibilities. Before entering the property, you have a double gate which could be modernised to allow for secure private gated parking. Behind which you have an annex space (which was originally a garage!), if you do not need the annex space as living quarters or a home office, you could easily re-purpose this area back into a garage. Moving back to the main house and behind the imposing period frontage, you have got two double reception rooms, albeit both are currently laid out as studio flats. There are an abundance of options for how the downstairs can be reconfigured. For those who like more of an open & airy layout, a large open plan living/kitchen space could occupy the left hand side which opens out to the garden whilst the right side is a large informal lounge area. Perhaps you are someone who prefers more intimate settings, you could partition one of the double reception rooms to create a snug/cinema room and have another separate formal living space. The choice is yours. Walking to the rear of the property you are welcomed by a large wrap around garden. 

Moving on upstairs, you will first notice the abundance of natural light in all the rooms, thanks to the large sash windows to the front of the property. On this floor there is five well-proportioned bedrooms, a kitchenette, shower room and a bathroom/ utility room. All of which are a blank canvas.

Gellatly Road is located in the heart of the Telegraph Hill Conservation Area, just a leisurely stroll from both trendy Nunhead and the vibrant settings of New Cross. Within easy reach you’ve got atmospheric pubs, independent cafes and the Farmers’ Market at Telegraph Hill Park every Saturday from 10 to 3 – showcasing a real strong sense of community in SE14.

For those looking to be close to open green spaces, Telegraph Hill Park has all you could ask for. Greenery & ponds for tranquility, play areas & sports courts for those who enjoy an active lifestyle and even panoramic views of The City from its elevated hilltop position (Great for watching the fireworks on New Years Eve!!). I can’t forget to mention the park’s picturesque surroundings of striking period achirtecture.

If you’re a foodie, El Vermut (Nunhead Green) offers a brilliant tapas & Spanish wine selection, or for a quick Lebanese treat, why not try Aloosh in New Cross. If a fusion of pub atmosphere with great food is more your thing, try The Old Nun’s Head Pub (street food & a great Sunday Roast!). Just up on the corner of Gellatly & Kitto Road, Skehans is an Irish Pub that promises a great evening.
