Summary - 68 THORPEWOOD AVENUE LONDON SE26 4BY
3 bed 1 bath House
Edwardian semi with 90ft south-facing garden, close to Forest Hill Station and top schools.
Three double rooms with period features and high ceilings
Set on Thorpewood Avenue, this Edwardian-style semi offers generous family living with a rare, private 90ft rear garden. The house retains period character—high ceilings, bay window and fireplaces—while presenting clear scope for modernisation to create a larger, contemporary family home. A boarded loft and potential to extend (STPP) add future expansion options.
Inside, a broad entrance hall leads to a double reception room and a separate fitted kitchen. Three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern tiled bathroom serve current family needs; the property feels bright throughout thanks to abundant natural light and double glazing (install date unknown). The large front garden provides privacy and strong kerb appeal.
Location is a practical draw: approximately 0.4 miles from Forest Hill Station with fast links into central London, and close to highly rated local primary schools and everyday amenities. These transport and schooling benefits suit commuters with young families seeking space and garden for children.
Important considerations: the house sits in an area with above-average crime and local deprivation indicators. Walls are original solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so upgrading fabric and heating efficiency may be required. Council Tax is band F and running costs should be factored in. The property is freehold and has scope to extend subject to planning permission.
