Summary - 38, WOODCOMBE CRESCENT SE23 3BG
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Bright Edwardian house with a rare 95ft private garden near Forest Hill station.
Five bedrooms across 1,646 sq ft, generous family proportions
This substantial five-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached house on Woodcombe Crescent offers generous family living across approximately 1,646 sq ft. The layout includes a double reception, separate fitted kitchen, two bathrooms and plentiful eaves storage — all arranged to make day-to-day family life comfortable and practical. Large, double-glazed windows and a Juliet balcony bring abundant natural light into the home.
The 95ft private rear garden is a standout: landscaped with a lawn, patio seating and a koi pond, plus a brick-built outbuilding that could serve as storage, studio or playroom. Off-street parking to the front and easy pedestrian access to Forest Hill station (about 0.3 miles) make commuting straightforward, with regular services into central London.
The location suits families and professionals: highly rated nearby primary and secondary schools, local cafes, pubs and the Horniman Museum are all within easy reach. The property is freehold and sits on a well-regarded residential street popular with young families and commuters.
Practical considerations: the home dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls with no confirmed cavity insulation, and the EPC is D. Council Tax band is E (above average), so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency upgrades and ongoing period-maintenance into their plans. Overall, this is a bright, spacious family house with a rare long garden and good transport links, ideal for growing households prepared to maintain and sensitively update a period property.
