Full Details for 4 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Forest Hill, SE23 :
A golden opportunity to buy this fabulous double fronted Victorian home on one of Forest Hill's premier roads. Set within a much-loved residential area, the house has off street parking, a 160 foot garden, huge living area, separate reception rooms and four double bedrooms. Rural idyll? No, just a 10 minutes’ walk from Forest Hill station and fast trains to London Bridge, Victoria, Charing Cross (after 8pm) and the London Overground Line.
The hall greets you with stripped original floorboards, high ceilings, dado rails and cornicing. The first reception invites you to the right to find a front aspect bay window, original marble mantel and stove. This is flanked by lower level storage and shelving presented in a divine squid-ink blue shade. Further along the hall, a door introduces you to a ridiculously huge and fabulous family living space spanning over eight meters at the widest point. A wall of folding glass doors open fully onto an endless rear garden - it really brings the outside in! There's a period style fireplace with coal effect gas fire in the dining area and a comfortable lounging space too. The kitchen runs on the far wall and features an ultra-cool Corian worktop. A vast island of the same composite makes way for a long breakfast bar, four ring induction hob, wine cooler and oodles more storage. The run of units on the far wall has an integrated dishwasher, bins and a nifty hot water tap. There's an oven, microwave/oven combo and heating drawer (all Neff). An American fridge-freezer with ice maker stands tall with more storage space and a recessed pantry will house the jams and chutney. This area links to the hall where you meet a third front aspect reception with period feature fireplace and sash window. Beyond this is a w.c, utility room (with space and plumbing for a washing machine) and a large office. This room could also make a great study or storage room as it also has front access.
Curl up the elegant staircase with original hand wood banister and Newell post. The first return hosts the family bathroom which will enchant you with the wood panelling to dado level, a white suite, walk-in shower and a contemporary roll top bath. The first landing offers access to all four double bedrooms. Two face rear with gorgeous views over the garden and each has fitted storage space. Overlooking the front of the house is the a third double bedroom with an original fireplace. Next door you'll find the master, sitting in prime position and features a tasteful accent wall, twin recessed wardrobes and an adjoining en suite shower room - we're sold.
This property would make a wonderful family home and is within driving distance of the Dulwich Foundation schools and even closer to Sydenham High School for Girls. All the facilities of Forest Hill are to hand including Horniman's Museum and Sydenham Hill Woods for getting away from it all. The wildly popular London Overground line has vastly increased the area's connectivity to the tube network. You can be on the Jubliee Line at Canada Water in no time. Canary Wharf is just one stop from here! Plenty of local shops mean that you do most of your 'retail stuff' on foot; there is a good sized supermarket along with a superb bakery that cooks delicious fresh bread and cakes on site, grocers, health food and pet shops or get in the car and drive minutes down the hill to the massive Sainsbury's superstore at Bell Green. Forest Hill Pools is local with swimming pool, gym and café.
