Set on Norwood Road in Herne Hill, this late-Victorian semi-detached home offers substantial family space across three storeys — about 2,117 sq ft — with five/six bedrooms and a long 53 ft rear garden. The property is offered chain-free with development potential subject to planning (STP), making it a strong project for a growing family seeking to add value and personalise living space close to green amenities.
The layout provides multiple reception rooms and a deep-plan footprint that suits family living, while nearby Rosendale Primary and several well-regarded secondary schools provide convenient options for children. Herne Hill and Brockwell Park are within easy reach, and direct trains from Herne Hill station connect to London Bridge and Victoria for commuting.
This is a renovation-led opportunity: the house needs updating throughout, has an EPC rating of E, and the assumed solid-brick walls lack modern insulation. The garden and outbuilding are overgrown and require clearance and repair. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs, potential planning permissions for any extension, and above-average local council tax into their budgets.
Chain-free sale and broad scope for modernisation create clear upside for the right buyer — families wanting space to reconfigure and upgrade, or investors prepared to renovate and enhance the property’s energy performance and internal layout, subject to consents.
