Set on a generous corner plot in sought-after Forest Hill, this substantial five-bedroom end-of-terrace offers rare scale and flexibility for a growing family. Period features — high ceilings, decorative cornices and original fireplaces — provide character throughout and a strong base for a sympathetic refurbishment. The house includes two loft spaces (one boarded with walk-in access) that add storage or conversion potential.
Practical benefits are immediate: a wide driveway with dropped kerb, private double garage and off-street parking for multiple cars relieve typical inner‑city parking pressures. A large, private rear garden and a separate outbuilding create scope for outside living, a studio or home office. Good broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern working-from-home lifestyles.
The property requires full modernisation internally. Systems, finishes and decor are dated and the walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, so buyers should budget for updating, insulation and potential heating or electrical works. There are two bathrooms serving five bedrooms, which may need alteration for larger family use or rental optimisation.
Located close to strong local schools, shops and transport links, this freehold house is a high‑potential purchase for families who want space and are prepared to invest in upgrading. Planning or structural advice should be sought if you intend to extend (side/loft) or reconfigure the layout; value is driven by the scope to modernise and increase usable living space.
