Summary - 164 FOREST HILL ROAD, LONDON SE23 3QR
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Large garden, period detail and substantial renovation potential close to parks.
Five bedrooms across four levels, flexible layout for family living
A substantial Victorian detached house set over four levels, offering 2,720 sq ft of living space and a private 120ft rear garden. The property retains many period features — high ceilings, original fireplaces, large bay windows and wood floors — providing a strong foundation for a sympathetic family renovation.
The layout includes five bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms, with plentiful natural light and flexible room sizes for family living or home working. Its location on Forest Hill Road places one Tree Hill Park and Honor Oak Park station within easy reach, plus a wide choice of well-regarded schools and local amenities.
The house needs comprehensive modernisation: the kitchen and bathrooms are dated, internal systems will benefit from upgrading, and the solid brick walls appear uninsulated. It is offered chain free to cash buyers, which simplifies purchase but means prospective buyers should allow budget for full refurbishment and insulation works.
For families seeking long-term value, the large plot and period bones present clear scope to create a comfortable, characterful home in an affluent, well-connected neighbourhood. Practical considerations — renovation cost, disruption and the Cash Buyers Only condition — should be factored into any viewing decision.
