Summary - 5 AYLWARD ROAD LONDON SE23 2JE
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Extended five-bedroom family house with bright open-plan living, 0.6 miles to Forest Hill station.
Period bay windows and high ceilings retain original character
A substantial Victorian semi-detached house thoughtfully extended to offer flexible family living across approximately 2,044 sq ft. Classic period details—sash bay windows, high ceilings and ornate plasterwork—sit alongside a contemporary open-plan kitchen/living area that opens onto a leafy rear garden. The loft extension provides a bright principal suite with a four-piece bathroom.
The layout suits growing families who need space: five bedrooms and an open-plan social hub on the ground floor, plus multiple reception areas for study and play. Practical benefits include a wood-burning stove, bespoke fitted cabinetry and fast transport links — Forest Hill station is about 0.6 miles away for regular Overground and National Rail services into central London.
Be realistic about the compromises: the plot frontage and front garden are small, and there are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may require management at busy times or future reconfiguration. Overall condition appears well presented, but buyers wanting a larger outdoor area or further modernisation should factor this in.
This freehold home sits on a quiet residential street in a family-friendly area with several well-rated local primary and secondary schools nearby. It will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful, spacious family house close to transport and local amenities, with potential to personalise further where desired.
