Gosterwood Street, Deptford, SE8
Gosterwood Street, Deptford, SE8 Guide price: 425,000 to 475,000 THE PROPERTY Gosterwood Street is positioned in an extremely popular pocket of Deptford. It s the sort of area that residents commonly get letters through their doors asking if they wish to sell or rent out their property to others who want to be part of this local community. Rarely do properties come to market along these roads let alone one that has been so spectacularly transformed offering a fantastic mix of modern day interior design and period charisma. The images and 360-degree tour will do much better job of describing the property, but we felt it would be great to point out a few things that can t be seen so easily in the images. The property deserves to be offered to the market with a little more detail than others given the finer details are many.

Guide price 425,000 to 475,000. The property offers very flexible accommodation to be used as either a three-bedroom flat or a two bedroom flat with two reception rooms. The current owners have chosen to use the property as the later utilising one of the reception rooms as their library / chill out room. The library room features designer paint from Farrow and Ball, bespoke plantation shutters, a vintage style feature radiator, a chimney stack with exposed brickwork complimented by period style tiling at the base and stripped wooden flooring which extends seamlessly into the hallway. The bespoke storage located either side of the chimney breast has been cleverly designed to include a slide out desk which we ll happily demonstrate at your viewing. The hallway is split over two levels (by a couple steps) creating a wonderful natural division between the front of property and the rear. The floor in the rear section of the hallway is finished with designer tiles from Laura Ashley offering a noticeable yet subtle texture to this space. Hallways can be dark and boring spaces in flats but, due to having a glazed garden door around the midpoint of the hallway (with a designer blind from House of Hackney), the space is surprisingly bright and open. You ll note in the 360 tour that there is enough space in the hallway for a sideboard as well as a coat and shoe rack. Additionally, off the hallway are the stairs which lead to the striking open plan kitchen / living / dining area. We ll come to shortly after offering some extra detail on the remaining rooms of this floor. The smaller of the two bedrooms also has bespoke wardrobes. Clever design features of this wardrobe include a hidden shoe rack which we ll also show you upon viewing. The carpet in this room has been fitted recently and has a lovely thick pile (which you ll appreciate because we ll kindly request you remove your shoes before entering for your viewing). The bathroom has a Burlington suite, metro tiles another bespoke cupboard (does a great job of maximising the use of storage space) and another designer blind from House of Hackney which compliments the tiles. From the master bedroom you will find the second access onto the private rear garden (which is bigger than some gardens found in houses locally). Again, designer features have been used to finish the room including Laura Ashley floor tiles, a house of Hackney Blind that compliments the soft furnishings, more bespoke built in wardrobes and Farrow and Ball paint. Due to the landscaped garden and the clever position of the door from the bedroom to the garden, you can enjoy a wonderful framed view lying in bed. With solar powered lights and well-arranged planting areas in the garden, the current owners enjoy this view all year round. The private rear garden is accessed from two areas of the property (guests can use the door off the hallways rather than walking through the bedroom). The garden is the larger than that offered by many houses locally and we consider this to be great asset for the property. Offering a tiled patio area, a lawn with a palm tree centrepiece, a raised decking area (large enough for a BBQ and table and chairs) and a garden room / studio with solar panels (which power its internal lighting) and seating, the garden is offers more than most may expect. Buyers might be stunned (we were) as the open plan area is slowly unveiled walking down the stairs from the hallway. The design elements are exquisite. There is a combination of textures in this area which all pull together to create a brilliant designer space that is extremely social and offers multiple uses. It s like something you d expect to see in an interior design magazine. The bespoke kitchen with built in appliances and colour changing lighting compliment the concrete skirting and tiled floor surface. The cleverly designed shelving unit provides additional storage or a great area for display items. You ll note that this space is large enough for a dedicated dining table and a separate lounge / seating area. There is also the flexibility to use one side of the kitchen as
a breakfast bar. A portion of this room is currently being used as a lounge but could be used as a games area, play area (or other) due to the flexibility of the overall layout. THE AREA Deptford has been proclaimed as one of the most up and coming areas of south east London. In recent years it s trendy vibe has grown, and it s become known as one of the capital s creative towns. There have been many new build developments in the area adding to the ever-changing landscape. These developments have also created a buzz about the location and generated investment into local infrastructure.

Deptford is well connected to an array of London locations being in travel zone 2.

There is a selection of local parks which include Folkstone Gardens found approximately 0.1 miles away from the property and Deptford Park approximately 0.4 mile away. Folkstone Gardens was created many years ago as the result of a bomb blast in World War II. The houses which once stood on the site were badly damaged. The area was cleared and reinstated as a local green space and now offers a ball court, play area, picturesque pond, multi-sports pitch, skate park and great café. Deptford Park (originally a market garden many years ago and well known for its onions, celery and asparagus!) is approximate 17 acres of green space and one of the most popular parks in the area.
