Property description

Set amidst leafy tranquillity opposite a small woodland area, this mid-Victorian semi-detached four bedder promises a peaceful spot to call home - you'll find it hard to believe you're within a 10 minute walk of Forest Hill station. Charm flows in abundance throughout the interior. Original fireplaces, cornicing, sash windows and sympathetic styling will all delight in equal measure. A garage, generous front and rear gardens and plenty of bathrooms will further impress. From here you're close to the ever increasing list of amenities and social attractions of Forest Hill, including the new swimming pools, the library and Horniman Museum and Gardens. The London Overground Line will whizz you to Shoreditch and beyond and Sydenham is also easily reached for yet more pursuits. The very lovely Albion Millennium Green and urban woodland sits right over the road. It's a pure joy whatever time of year. You'll enjoy birdwatching, blackberry picking, wildlife and hob-nobbing with the neighbours. There's even regular summer theatrical performances and a community orchard!

The house proudly stands behind a long, well stocked front garden. The right hand side hosts a wealth of lush flora - a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the ambience. A covered dock precedes the garage on the left. Head up a grand set of steps to the front door within an impressive portico. The inner hall is wonderful - dado rails, cornicing and an original staircase with curling hardwood banister greet you. Your double reception is accessed through either of two doors on the right. Here you'll find two front aspect sash windows through which you spy a flood of green. Twin fireplaces, each with beautiful tiling, hearths and mantels will supply winter warming. The rear facing sash window has beautiful original blue stained glass. Heading downward from the hall you spy a handy dual aspect guest WC. The lower landing offers another front access point, wc and deep storage point - wine cellar perhaps? A large kitchen/diner takes the lion's share of the lower ground floor. It stretches seven metres and incorporates comfortable lounging, dining and cooking areas. There's another beautiful fireplace and mantel and gorgeous gas stove too. The kitchen cabinets and counters are modern and plentiful and there's an island with breakfast bar for further dicing, slicing and spicing space. To the rear of this you meet the garden room where double-glazed wood-framed doors open onto the patio. This will make a fine fourth bedroom if necessary. A further shower room adjoins.

Trotting up the original staircase (painted white and with runner) you encounter a wonderful landing with rear aspect sash window, dado rails and perfectly chosen wall paper. The master bedroom spies down over the leafy front garden and woodland beyond. Ornate cornicing and wooden mantel add to the period charm. Your second bedroom is a neat double with high shelving and a beautiful wooden fireplace mount. The third floor supplies another wide front facing double bedroom with tree top views and buckets of storage. The main bathroom completes the tour nicely with a roll top bath, original blue stained glass sash and most wonderful period feature fireplace. The loft space is boarded and has two Velux windows - it's ripe for any amount of uses.

Forest Hill station offers fast and regular services to London Bridge, Victoria and, after 8pm, Charing Cross. That's in addition to the much loved London Overground Line. There are also many good bus routes on nearby Kirkdale. Get the kids enrolled at ever popular schools, Eliot Bank, St Barts and Kelvin Grove – it's a prime family location. A short stroll will bring you to Kirkdale Village where you can pick up a sticky bun at the Le Bonne Bakery, book a bracelet making lesson at Alhambra or a facial at JH Skincare Clinic. Sydenham Road offers a wide range of handy shops, health food outlets and a supermarket or two. If you need some greenery, you've got the award-winning Wells Park or Mayow Park or perhaps book in for the midnight walk at Dulwich Woods (only up the road), and yes Dulwich and Crystal Palace Parks are also only a few minutes away too.
