Freehold; Lewisham Council Tax Band D (moderate)
This substantial five-bedroom semi-detached home on Cranston Road offers generous family accommodation across multiple levels, set on a decent plot with a large west-facing garden. Two reception rooms, a sizable kitchen, an integral garage and driveway parking provide versatile day-to-day living space for growing families. Forest Hill station is around 0.8 miles away for straightforward commuting into Central London.
The house benefits from practical features: three bathrooms (including an en-suite), internal garage access, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There is clear potential to increase living space — loft or rear extensions have been carried out on neighbouring homes (subject to planning permission) — making this a property with scope to personalise and add value.
Buyers should note some trade-offs. The area records higher crime levels than average, and parts of the interior show dated decor and suspended ceiling finishes that will need updating for modern tastes. Planning works are required for extensions, and there will be inevitable renovation and maintenance costs if you intend to refurbish. Council Tax sits at a moderate Band D.
Overall, this freehold family home suits buyers wanting substantial space, outdoor living and commuter convenience, with realistic scope for improvement and extension. It will particularly appeal to families seeking proximity to good local schools and the amenities of Forest Hill, who are prepared to invest in modernisation to unlock the property’s full potential.
