3 Bedroom Flat

GUIDE PRICE £525,000 - £550,000

At 1,076 sq ft, this is a seriously spacious three-bedroom apartment and one that works particularly well as a family home. Set within Dixie Court, part of the modern Catford Green development beside Ladywell Fields, the flat combines generous proportions, three good bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large private balcony with excellent transport links into Central London.

The main living space is the real heart of the flat. At almost 26ft long, the open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room has plenty of room to properly separate each area rather than everything feeling squeezed together. The kitchen runs along one side with a generous amount of worktop and storage space, while the other end opens into a bright reception area with large glazed doors leading directly onto the balcony.

Outside, the balcony is considerably larger than you tend to find with newer apartments. Stretching across the width of the living space, there is room for outdoor seating, planting and a table, with an open outlook across the surrounding area and towards the greenery beyond.

All three bedrooms are a good size. The principal bedroom measures over 19ft in length and benefits from its own en-suite shower room and built-in storage. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a home office and occasional living space, while the third is another generous double bedroom. For families, guests or anyone working regularly from home, it is an unusually flexible layout.

There is also a separate family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower, along with a very useful amount of built-in storage throughout the hallway.

Dixie Court forms part of Catford Green, a major Barratt London development completed on the former Catford Greyhound Stadium site. The wider development was designed around landscaped streets and pedestrian routes connecting the neighbourhood with Ladywell Fields, the River Ravensbourne and Catford town centre.

One of the biggest attractions here is having Ladywell Fields almost immediately outside the development. It gives the flat a very different feel to many modern developments, with substantial green space, riverside walks and routes towards Ladywell all close to home. The development itself was specifically designed to open onto Ladywell Fields and make the landscape an integral part of the scheme.

For transport, both Catford Bridge and Catford stations are within easy walking distance. Catford Bridge provides direct Southeastern services towards London Bridge, with journeys averaging around 13 minutes and the fastest taking approximately 11 minutes, as well as onward services towards Charing Cross. Catford station adds Thameslink services, giving the area a particularly useful choice of routes into and across London.

Catford town centre is also close by for everyday shopping, cafés and restaurants, along with the Broadway Theatre and Catford Broadway. There are several supermarkets within the wider town centre, while neighbouring Ladywell and Lewisham add further independent shops, cafés and amenities.

Catford itself continues to be the focus of significant long-term investment and regeneration, with Lewisham Council's plans centred around new homes, shops, improved public spaces and the wider renewal of the town centre.

For buyers wanting the convenience of a modern apartment without compromising on space, this is a particularly strong option. At over 1,000 sq ft, with three proper bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large balcony, excellent green space immediately nearby and two stations within walking distance, it offers a lot of the practicality you would normally associate with a house.
