Pearcefield Avenue, London, SE23

Stunning coach house located in the heart of Forest Hill! Offering style, comort and a modern way of living in such a unique home.

Set in the heart of leafy Forest Hill, this delightful home was originally a coach house to a nearby grand residence, and has since been thoughtfully reimagined to offer a seamless blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary elegance.

Offering a sense of serene seclusion, the property is tucked behind a classic London stone wall. Upon arrival, you can enter via the main door or through the bi-folding doors that open up from the spacious living area, adding an element of surprise and charm.

The ground floor features an expansive open-plan living and dining area, centered around a stunning shaker-style kitchen. Natural light pours in from the vaulted skylight above, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. This inviting space is perfect for both cozy nights by the log burner and entertaining friends over dinner. The oak flooring adds warmth and texture, while the décor strikes the perfect balance between subtle sophistication and industrial chic.

On this level, you’ll also find the master bedroom with a beautifully appointed en-suite. The bathroom features a roll-top bath, a traditional washbasin, and period-style tiles, creating a spa-like retreat. There’s generous storage cleverly partitioned from the bedroom area, and bi-folding doors lead out to a charming, paved L-shaped courtyard surrounded by lush greenery – an ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind in the evening. A further elegant family shower room is also located on the ground floor, with emerald green tiles and opulent brass fittings.

For extra convenience, there’s an outdoor shed perfect for storing logs, bikes, or gardening equipment.

Downstairs, the lower ground floor offers a fantastic, versatile living area that could be transformed into a home cinema, playroom, studio, or music room – the choice is yours. This space also includes a utility and storage area to meet all your practical needs.

The first floor, accessed by a beautiful, ornate staircase, boasts two further bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and wooden floors, each thoughtfully decorated. One of these bedrooms opens onto a lovely balcony, offering views over the neighborhood – an ideal spot for a quiet moment outdoors.

What the homeowners say about their property:

“It’s an incredibly peaceful place to live; once you step through the gate, you're enveloped in an oasis of greenery and calm.”

“We have a wonderful variety of birds that visit, and the house is filled with birdsong in the mornings and evenings.”

“There’s a mature grapevine growing in the front courtyard and on the terrace, which yields fruit seasonally.”

“In the winter, we cozy up by the wood burner, but as soon as spring comes, we open all the doors and bring the outdoors in.”

“The house is very energy-efficient; we rarely need the heating on, even in the coldest months. A short burst of heating or the log burner keeps the house wonderfully warm.”

“Regardless of the season, there’s always the changing sky above to admire through the roof lantern.”
