This five-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Homecroft Road offers generous family living across three floors. Period features such as sash windows, high ceilings and a decorative fireplace bring character, while 1,631 sqft provides adaptable space for family life and home working.
The 44ft private garden with a summer house is a standout for outdoor entertaining, play and study, and the house sits on a quiet, community-focused street within walking distance of Penge East and Sydenham stations — convenient for commuters and school runs. Local primary and secondary schools rated Good are close by.
Practical realities are clear: the property is freehold with double glazing and gas central heating, but has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls likely without fitted insulation. Buyers should budget for energy improvements and confirm insulation and servicing history. The area shows signs of deprivation, though community amenities and fast broadband partly offset that.
Overall this is a strong proposition for families seeking period character, commuting convenience and outdoor space, willing to carry out or budget for energy upgrades to improve comfort and running costs.
