A substantial Victorian family house arranged over three main floors plus attic and cellar, this rarely available property combines generous living space with a long, west-facing garden. High ceilings, ornate cornicing, wooden floorboards and original fireplaces give strong period character, while a recently renovated, light-filled kitchen with skylights and an extension provides contemporary family living and direct access to a covered terrace and lawn (c.119 ft).
Rooms are flexible: three reception rooms, nine bedrooms across the first and second floors, and three bathrooms make the house well suited to multigenerational families or those wanting home working and guest accommodation. Practical features include off-street parking for several cars, a garage, cellar storage and a useful utility and guest WC. Transport links are good from nearby Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace stations, and a range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools lie within easy reach.
Important practical points: the property is freehold and has double glazing fitted after 2002 and gas central heating by boiler and radiators. The building sits on solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, so adding insulation could be considered to improve energy performance. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The local area is inner-city cosmopolitan with good commuter appeal but a higher level of deprivation than surrounding suburbs.
This house will appeal to growing families seeking space and character close to Crystal Palace’s amenities, and to buyers who value a large private garden and versatile room layout. It has been newly renovated in parts, but buyers should allow for potential further energy-efficiency upgrades and factor in higher running costs due to council tax and the solid-wall construction.
