Gorgeously Grand Victorian Gem - Located Just A Short Stroll From The High Street And Palace Grounds. This sophisticated Victorian family home has six bedrooms and three reception rooms over three substantial floors, with a luscious mature west facing garden.

This delightful detached home offers an elegant blend of timeless period charm and modern design. And it's perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of this leafy part of SE9.

With five double bedrooms, one single, three reception rooms and a stunning west-facing garden that was once part of the nearby Eltham Palace orchards, this property is an ideal retreat for discerning families.

Step inside and you'll be greeted by almost 12-foot-high ceilings and original Victorian features that have been thoughtfully preserved throughout.

The entrance hall leads to a snug cinema room on the right, a grand front reception currently used as a cocktail room on the left and a large rear reception room just off the kitchen space. With each space offering its own character and style.

The main living room / dining room at the rear is a light, bright and airy space with large windows, original cornicing and shutters and a modern log burner set within a traditional fireplace. The perfect place to spend cosy evenings together.

The adjacent conservatory floods with afternoon light, making it an ideal spot to relax among your indoor plants, with views over the lush mature gardens.

The charming country style kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring new solid beech worktops, a range cooker and a spacious pantry.

With its high ceilings and open layout, the kitchen flows nicely into the living room and dining area. It’s sure to become the social heart of the home.

There’s even potential to extend further into the garden (as other neighbours have already done), offering you the opportunity to create an even larger social space. Subject to planning permission, of course.

The elegant grandeur continues as you journey upstairs, passing beautiful stained glass windows.

The first floor is home to three double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe.

The recently renovated family bathroom is a particular highlight, featuring gorgeous pale green marble tiles, double sink vanity, a modern freestanding bath and large walk in shower. There’s an additional separate W.C down the hallway too.

The second floor is perfect for children or guests, with two additional bedrooms, a playroom and a second bathroom. The dormer windows, added in the 1980s, offer plenty of natural light and turn the upper floor into a charming and versatile space.

There's a substantial cellar offering an abundance of additional storage space and the potential to create separate self contained lower flat.

Outside, the mature west-facing back garden is a real treat for your senses.

It will come as no surprise to learn the gardens were once part of the Eltham Palace orchards. There are mature fruiting trees, including fig, quince and plum, alongside beautiful lilac and rhododendron plants.

The garden is not only a haven for birds but also provides a bounty of produce throughout the year.

Side access ensures easy entry for gardeners and tradespeople and the large front drive provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles, making it practical as well as private.

Living at 20 Court Yard means being just steps away from the bustling Eltham High Street, with a wide selection of independent shops and cafés.

Local pubs such as the Rusty Bucket and the gpo are just a short walk away. The Rusty Bucket is renowned for its selection of craft beers - some of the best in South East London - while the recently refurbished gpo offers a snug atmosphere and a menu filled with comforting classics.

The area is also dotted with charming cafés and eateries, perfect for enjoying a leisurely brunch or catching up with friends over coffee.

You’re also blessed with an abundance of green spaces, ideal for those who enjoy spending time outdoors.

Queenscroft Park is just a stone’s throw away and offers wide-open spaces for picnics, ball games or a peaceful afternoon stroll. And of course Eltham Palace Gardens are only a short walk away, with the beautiful art deco inspired palace and 19 acres of landscaped gardens to explore.
