Five double bedrooms across large family layout
A substantial detached family home on Hitherwood Drive offering flexible living across 195 sqm. The house provides five double bedrooms, three reception rooms and an integral double garage — ideal for large families needing space and storage. The southwest-facing secluded garden is a strong family asset for play and entertaining.
The property sits close to Crystal Palace Park and strong schooling options including Dulwich Prep, Dulwich College, Sydenham High and Kingsdale Foundation. Sydenham Hill and Gipsy Hill stations are within walking distance, providing regular rail links to Victoria, London Bridge and Blackfriars — a genuine commuter advantage.
The house retains period character such as bay windows and decorative mouldings but shows clear signs of wear and will benefit from internal modernisation. There is scope to extend (STPP) to increase living space and value. Buyers should note cavity walls likely have no insulation and the property will require cosmetic and possible systems updating.
Sold with no onward chain, this freehold home suits families seeking a roomy, characterful house in a well-connected, school-focused neighbourhood. It offers immediate occupation potential but also a longer-term project for those wanting to refurbish or extend and add significant value.
