This spacious four-double-bedroom terraced home on Bampton Road offers a comfortable family layout and private front and rear gardens. Set in a popular Forest Hill location, it's a short walk to Forest Hill station and close to Mayow Park and the Horniman Museum — ideal for family leisure and easy commuting.
The house retains mid-century character, with wood and parquet flooring in parts and ample built-in storage. The footprint and room sizes suit families needing flexible space for bedrooms, home study or playrooms. Nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good make this practical for growing families.
The property requires renovation and updating throughout, presenting a clear opportunity to add value through refurbishment or reconfiguration. Notable practical points: cavity walls appear uninsulated, double glazing was fitted before 2002, and the plot is small. Crime levels in the area are above average — worth considering for security improvements.
Overall, this freehold terrace is a solid family home with scope to modernise and personalise. Buyers seeking an established local neighbourhood with good transport links and green space will see strong potential, while those seeking a move-in-perfect property should expect to budget for works.
