Set across four well-proportioned floors, this Victorian mid-terrace on Holmdene Avenue offers spacious family living and period detail. High ceilings, a double reception with bay window and original cornicing create an elegant principal floor, while a generous open-plan kitchen/dining area at the rear opens onto a private garden — an appealing layout for family life and entertaining.
Five bedrooms (including a loft conversion) and two bathrooms give flexibility for growing families or home-working space. The house benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and excellent local transport links to central London. It is offered chain-free and sits within the catchment for several highly regarded primary and secondary schools, making it attractive to buyers prioritising education and commutes.
The property is a late-Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls and many original features retained, but it also presents sensible scope for updating. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, and some modernisation may be needed to meet current energy-efficiency expectations — the walls are assumed uninsulated and the glazing installation date is unknown. The plot is typical for inner-London terraced stock with a small front area and an average-sized rear garden.
Overall this home will suit families seeking characterful space in Herne Hill with the opportunity to tailor finishes and layouts to personal taste. Buyers should factor in potential retrofit works and space planning to optimise the five-bedroom configuration and energy performance.
