* Freehold
Please note that only house 5 (pictured) is available. House 6 and house 7 are
under offer.
These exceptional three - bedoom townhouses, designed by Roberts and Treguer,
occupy a peaceful position on a private mews tucked behind the leafy Deptford
Park. Influenced by the surrounding Victorian vernacular, a palette of yellow
brick and silvery zinc has been employed to create a terrace of undulating
forms punctuated with vast arched timber - framed windows. The interior spaces
are defined by the architect's contemporary approach to materials, with subtle
nods to modernist design seen in the exposed block walls, plywood joinery and
wood chip terrazzo. Built to Passivhaus standards, each new house has an
impressive range of environmental credentials, including triple - glazed
windows, MVHRs and underfloor heating.
The Architect
Roberts and Treguer is a London - based architectural practice known for
transforming urban sites into beautiful and sustainable buildings. Their team
of architects, planners, engineers and Passivhaus designers focuses on
creating spaces for living, dining, and accommodation.
The practice has an impressive portfolio of both residential and commercial
projects, notably The Culpeper Family Hospitality Group. In collaboration with
Urban Organic, the group has recently created an urban farm with a Dutch - style
greenhouse, which sits just behind the mews on Scawen Road. Produce grown
onsite will be delivered to the chefs at The Buxton, The Culpeper and The Duke
of Cambridge.
The Tour
Enclosed by impressive London plane trees, Deptford Park sits in the centre of
a handsome park square, characterised by neat rows of Victorian terraces.
Paved communal pathways meander through the mews, immaculately landscaped with
colourfully planted borders.
In this section of the development, there are three houses, accessed via a
short set of steps leading down towards neat front gardens. The sunken
arrangement of the terrace also creates a distinct level of privacy from the
communal grounds.
Inside each house, the living areas flow from the entrance. Exposed
breezeblock walls have been whitewashed, adding a textural contrast against
the smooth chevron - laid oak parquet flooring. The bespoke kitchen spans the
length of the wall, with soft moss - painted cabinetry, contrasting black matt
fixtures and topped with recycled wood chip terrazzo work surfaces. All
appliances are by Neff and include a dishwasher, a washing machine, double
ovens and an induction hob; there is also a Quooker hot water tap. Each house
has its own private, landscaped patio, either accessed at the front or the
rear, punctuated with neat, cedar - clad planters.
Upstairs, light pours through to the generously sized bedrooms, each with
newly laid sisal - style carpet. Each house has a spacious family bathroom,
predominantly executed in turquoise oblong tiles, which neatly complement the
chrome fixtures. The main bedroom crowns the top of each house with vast
skylights and an en suite shower room, which mirror the design of the
bathrooms below.
There is a secure bike shed and bin store within the communal grounds.
Outdoor Space
Each house has its own patio paved with large stone slabs and enclosed by a
cedar - clad or stone fence. Planters have been meticulously landscaped with a
broad variety of evergreen plants and perennials, adding a dash of colour to
the outdoor space while also providing additional shade and privacy.
The Area
Scawen Road borders leafy Deptford Park and is a 15 - minute walk from the heart
of Deptford through Folkestone Gardens, where there is a café, pond and
skatepark.
Deptford is a thriving area, now recognised as one of the most fashionable
parts of south London, with Deptford High Street being recently named the
'coolest street' in London by Time Out. It has a variety of outstanding pubs,
bars, and restaurants, such as The Watergate, Villages Brewery, and Artusi's
sister - restaurant Marcella. There are also a number of highly regarded
galleries and venues, including The Albany and The Shipwright. At nearby
Deptford Market Yard, a recently launched collection of independent shops and
restaurants is set within and around Deptford's refurbished railway arches.
This has been joined in recent years by a new wave of establishments,
including Buster Mantis, a bar renowned for its famous Steam Down jazz nights;
Klose and Soan, an exceptional natural wine bar and shop, serving great
European cooking from its small kitchen; and Forest, for all houseplant -
related needs. Scawen Road is also a short walk from The Victoria Pub SE8, a
local favourite with quiz, comedy, open mic, and live music nights.
The closest station is Surrey Quays (15 minutes' walk), offering Overground
lines to Shoreditch, Dalston, Highbury & Islington, as well as New Cross,
Crystal Palace and Clapham Junction. Deptford Station is a 20 - minute walk
away, running mainline services into London Bridge in just six minutes. There
are also direct trains into the City via the Thameslink, which takes 20
minutes to get to Farringdon.
