Set on one of Eltham Park’s sought-after 'Glen' roads, this double-fronted Edwardian semi delivers generous family living across three floors. The property has been significantly extended and newly renovated to create a bright, flexible layout: a full-width rear extension forms a showpiece open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens onto a south-facing garden. High ceilings, bay windows and period detailing remain throughout, giving original character alongside contemporary finishes.
Accommodation includes large reception rooms on the ground floor, a principal suite with a dressing area on the first floor, and a loft conversion providing two further bedrooms and a shower room — in total five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Practical features for family life include a cellar, garage and private driveways, plus fast broadband and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The plot feels typical for the area with a decent garden and good street presence.
This home sits in an affluent, family-oriented area with excellent local schools and easy access to Eltham Park and local amenities along Westmount Road. The newly renovated condition reduces immediate maintenance for buyers seeking a move-in-ready family house, while the substantial living space and loft conversion offer flexibility for home working or guest accommodation.
Notable points to consider: the building retains original solid brick walls which are assumed to have no cavity insulation; prospective buyers may wish to budget for fabric upgrades or insulation works. Council tax is described as expensive. Mobile signal is average despite fast broadband, so check personal coverage if phone reception is essential.
Overall, this Edwardian Corbett home offers a rare combination of period charm, modern extension and family-friendly outdoor space — attractive for growing families who value school choice, park-side living and generous internal volumes.
