Spacious period home by Ruskin Park — chain free with strong transport links.
Approximately 1,415 sq ft across multiple floors
Set on a quiet stretch overlooking Ruskin Park, this Victorian mid-terrace offers spacious family living across multiple floors. At approximately 1,415 sq ft it provides three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen/diner that opens onto a small private garden — a rare combination so close to green space and good transport links.
Sold freehold and chain-free, the house is well placed for Denmark Hill Overground/BR, Loughborough Junction services and several bus routes, making commutes into central London straightforward. Local amenities and a mix of highly regarded and improving schools make this a practical choice for families seeking space and convenience in an affluent inner-city area.
The property retains period character — bay windows, decorative ceilings and fireplaces — but does require some updating. There are reported damp issues and the solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation, so buyers should budget for remedial work and energy-efficiency improvements. The home has double glazing and gas central heating installed, which reduces immediate outlay but does not remove the need for further refurbishment.
Practical considerations: there is a single family bathroom upstairs and a relatively small rear garden and plot. Council tax is high. For buyers prepared to invest, the house offers significant scope to enhance living space, improve thermal performance and add modern finishes while preserving period charm.
