bankhurst Road
Seems like a good location - 5min from 2 different train lines, 10 min from the overground, catford town centre. It's a fairly quiet road so I imagine the air quality's not bad at the house. The steep hill is Blythe Hill which has a nice park with great views at the top, and it's only a few minutes from Ladywell Fields at the bottom of the hill, another great park with a different character (more play and exercise space, small river, cafe etc). You can get around by bike on the back streets and largely avoid main roads. If you think catford is not attractive enough as a town centre you can walk to Ladywell or Brockley (from Bankhurst rd) for fancier shops and restaurants. I'm not really sure what you're expecting but seems like a pretty good location. Maybe it's just a crap house.

As an asides what is so great about Catford? A guy I know lives on bankhurst Road in what I can only describe as a fairly grim and overextended semi on a very steep hill. Apart from a big plastic cat i am not sure what exactly the positives are from moving there unless you are actively seeking to get cancer from the poor air quality that seems to result from its proximity to the south circular.
