This double-fronted Victorian semi offers spacious family living across three floors in a sought-after Forest Hill location. Five bedrooms and two bathrooms provide flexibility for family life, home working or guest accommodation, while large bay windows and high ceilings retain period character and natural light.
Set close to Forest Hill station with fast links to central London, the house sits near excellent primary and secondary schools and green spaces such as Horniman Gardens and Blythe Hill Fields. The plot includes a decent, south-facing garden accessed via French doors — ideal for children and entertaining.
The house is largely presented but does need some updating in places: certain rooms show dated decor and the glazing predates 2002. Construction is solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation and the property may benefit from energy-improvement works. Practical strengths include freehold tenure, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
For families wanting a substantial period home in a well-connected, school-friendly neighbourhood, this property offers immediate liveability with clear potential to increase comfort and value through targeted refurbishment. Council Tax Band D and average local crime should be considered alongside running and improvement costs.
