Set across three naturally lit floors, this Victorian semi offers over 1,800 sq ft of flexible living — ideal for growing families who want period character and room to extend. High ceilings, bay windows and original cornicing give the house strong kerb appeal and a sense of space throughout. The large eat-in kitchen and separate rear reception open directly to a non‑overlooked garden, providing practical indoor–outdoor flow for family life and entertaining.
The home requires full modernisation, presenting a clear renovation project for buyers who want to personalise a substantial property. There is scope (STPP) for a substantial side‑return extension, which could significantly increase ground‑floor living space and value. Chain free and freehold, the house is a straightforward purchase for an owner‑occupier or investor prepared to refurbish.
Location strengthens the proposition: Linden Grove is moments from Peckham Rye Park and local shops, with Nunhead Station within easy walking distance and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal. Several well‑rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, making the area suitable for families despite wider area deprivation statistics.
Buyers should note key practical drawbacks: the property needs renovation throughout, council tax is above average, and the plot is relatively small. Crime levels are average for the area. These factors make the house best suited to purchasers seeking a project with long‑term upside rather than a move‑in‑ready option.
