A handsome double-fronted Victorian detached house offering over 3,000 sq ft of well-proportioned living space across multiple floors. Period details — sash windows, marble fireplaces, coving and ceiling roses — give the house strong character, while five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large garage meet the practical needs of a growing family or those who work from home.
The long, wide front and rear gardens are mature and well stocked, with a raised paved entertaining area and large lawn; the garage includes plumbing suitable for a utility area. Internally, generous reception rooms (including a 26ft principal reception) and a smart modern kitchen with integrated appliances provide comfortable day-to-day living. A large loft and cellar offer clear potential for conversion or extensive storage, subject to consents.
Location is a major strength: a tree-lined residential street in Forest Hill, about an eight-minute walk from Forest Hill Station and the town centre with independent shops and a Sainsbury’s. Local state and independent schools are nearby and green spaces such as Sydenham Woods, Horniman Gardens and Crystal Palace Park are within easy reach. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern working needs.
Important negatives to note: the immediate area records higher deprivation indicators and average crime levels compared with London as a whole, which may concern some buyers. The property is sold freehold but, given its size and period age, buyers should expect typical maintenance and potential upgrading costs associated with Victorian houses. Flood risk is low.
