Fawnbrake Avenue, London, SE24

Occupying the ground and lower ground levels of a handsome, bay-fronted Edwardian residence, this two-bedroom apartment is beautifully laid out to combine grand period scale with a striking, architecturally designed rear extension. The accommodation flows with absolute fluidity across the ground floor, where the traditional layout opens out into a spectacular, full-width open-plan kitchen and living area. This sun-drenched social space features multiple skylights, a vast central island with breakfast bar seating, sleek navy cabinetry, and premium integrated appliances. Tucked off the kitchen is a highly practical separate larder that leads directly out to a quiet internal lightwell, offering a secondary, intimate patio outdoor area. Broad bi-folding glass doors span the main rear elevation, creating a seamless threshold between the internal living zone and a beautifully landscaped rear garden, which features a vast stone-paved patio leading up to a lush lawn with mature borders.

The ground floor further comprises two exceptionally bright and generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a quiet haven fitted with elegant plantation shutters across a wide bay window and a focal period fireplace, while the family bathroom has been masterfully updated, showcasing a freestanding contemporary bath, a separate walk-in crittall-style shower, and elegant monochromatic brassware. A dedicated ground-floor laundry room keeps utility appliances tucked away out of sight. Descending to the lower ground level reveals a huge, multi-room basement. Spanning over 400 square feet, this cavernous footprint is a rare asset that provides an incredible amount of versatile storage or workshop space, offering immense scope for further structural conversion or reconfiguration into premium living space, subject to the necessary planning permissions (STPP).
