Galloways are proud to be marketing this beautiful sought after historic cottage that was built in 1866 by renowned architect Edwin Nash. The collection of charming cottages within this square were originally used as alm houses.


Located just moments from Penge high street. This cottage is perfectly located for anyone looking for fantastic transport links. Penge West Station has brilliant access into London Bridge and East London via The Overground Line calling in at stations such as Dalston Junction and Highbury & Islington via Shoreditch High Street, with Penge East offering amazing connections into London Victoria.

The cottage itself has been kept to a beautiful standard. The owners really have updated the property to enhance its original charm and character. Set within a private garden square, this property comprises of; reception room with a feature fireplace and plantation shutters, under stair storage cupboard, fitted kitchen, family bathroom with white suite and door leading onto the rear south facing patio garden area. Upstairs buyer will find a generous master bedroom with plantation shutters and loft access, and a further single bedroom. The property also benefits from a 25ft front garden. This property is an absolute must see to truly appreciate all that it has to offer.

Vendors comments: "We fell in love with the cottage the minute we first laid eyes on it, a little gated oasis in the middle of Penge and footsteps from all amenities. We then moved in to find an amazing close community of likeminded people living in the cottages, so rare to find anywhere else in London. After having our first child and planning on a 2nd we are looking to move somewhere a bit bigger for our growing family, but we will be so sad to leave such a beautiful and centrally located house, the lovely gardens, as well as our fabulous neighbours".

Safeguarding your information

Important information regarding cybercrime. It has come to our attention that computer hackers are seeking to target property transactions to access funds. As we understand it, they will either hack a phone, tablet or PC, maybe by sending out a random email which mistakenly gets opened, or even whilst opening a website, which gives them access to that machine.

The reason for us mentioning this is to you is to alert you that once they have gained access, they can monitor email correspondence, without you knowing, throughout a transaction. Then, at a relevant point, e.g. just before exchange of contracts, they can send an email to a client mirroring that of their solicitor asking for funds to be transferred to a certain bank account. That money then, of course, disappears.

Fortunately, we have not had such an instance but, feel it important to highlight the fact that if you do receive an email requesting funds, it is worth double checking with the person concerned by phone that it is genuine and the bank details are correct, before sending money. This could, of course, affect other areas of finance beyond property. Many solicitors are starting to highlight this point now, but for safety, we would urge you to be vigilant and check before sending money or passing on any personal details regarding any bank or credit card information.
