Spacious Victorian semi-detached home arranged over three floors, offering generous living space and strong family potential. The large double reception and separate kitchen provide immediate day-to-day comfort, while eight double bedrooms and three bathrooms suit multigenerational living or conversion into flexible living/study space.
The property sits on a substantial 155' garden and retains notable period features such as bay windows, high ceilings and chimneys. Good local amenities, proximity to the Horniman Museum and Gardens, and strong transport links from Forest Hill make this a desirable location for commuters with young families.
This house requires renovation throughout, so buyers should allow budget for modernisation, energy-efficiency upgrades and possible reconfiguration of spaces. The building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, double glazing was installed post-2002, and mains gas boiler heating is in place.
For a buyer looking to personalise a large, characterful home in a well-regarded area, this property offers significant upside. Investors or developers may also find conversion or reconfiguration opportunities, subject to planning and conservation considerations.
