Full Details for 4 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Forest Hill, SE23 :
The current owners of this magic four bedroom semi detached treat have surpassed themselves to create an elegant and stylish home awash with tasteful features and expertly executed contemporary additions. The craftsmanship is top notch. Inside you enjoy spot-on styling, impressive room proportions, sublime Farrow and Ball wall shades and a healthy dollop of unique bespoke features. The top floor loft room makes us dream of being a kid again! All of the bedrooms are doubles and there's a jaw dropping bathroom in which to prepare for your close up. A storage cellar, pretty rear garden and brand new boiler and roof finish this most inviting package nicely. You're within easy reach of Honor Oak, Forest Hill and their combined list of helpful amenities. The London Overground line will whizz you to Canary Wharf (via Canada Water), Shoreditch and Islington in no time at all!
The handsome exterior greets you from behind high wooden fencing and a nicely presented front garden. A tiled path leads past the lawn to a grand portico with ornate stucco work. The stunning, bespoke stained glass front door has a matching light over – it had us at hello. The inner hall continues to impress with high ceilings, picture rails and a cast iron school house style radiator. Dark stained timber floors continue left to a delicious double reception which is separated centrally by wide double doors. The front section has a wide canted bay of sash windows, a period fireplace with coal effect gas fire and some glorious ceiling detail, rose and wooden wall trim. To the rear you find a matching period feature fireplace, shelving, accent wall and more fab period trappings. French doors open to the decked side patio. Back in the hall, past the original staircase you find the cellar access. Apart from hiding years of beloved junk it'll make the perfect home to rows of chutney and the haul from your last covert Eurostar wine run. The end of the hall has a handy laundry cupboard and w.c. Your super-duper, dual aspect kitchen/diner stretches seductively in the distance with two sets of bi-fold glass doors, stunning floor tiles and an utterly splendid Corian topped island and matching counter. There's a SMEG five ring gas hob, brand new Bosch boiler, double oven, stainless steel sink and breakfast bar. A dishwasher and wine cooler are integrated. The hall end of the room offers ample space for a large family dining table and underfloor heating will keep your tootsies toasty on those chilly winter mornings.
Heading upstairs you'll be impressed with the white painted staircase and complimentary runner. The huge first return first introduces a gob smacking main bathroom - it's a proper dish! A modern roll top bath takes centre stage under a vertical run of eye catching tiling and two side aspect sashes (each with frosted lower panes to protect your good name) supply a flood of light. There's a large double shower to the rear with the drencher head set into the ceiling. A super wide trough style wash hand basin will allow both partners to exfoliate and floss simultaneously – ooh ‘er. It's all finished off beautifully with 'Pavillion Grey' on the timber floors and more crisp white on the walls.
The first double bedroom (currently used as an office) completes this level with customary panache. A 'Pitch Blue' accent wall, plush carpeting and rear facing sash window make for the perfect spot to get the creative juices flowing. Upward again you meet the boastful master bedroom which lavishly sprawls across the full width of the house. There's a period fireplace, coving and more amazing wall shades. To the rear of this sits another generous double with fireplace, painted timber floors and gentle 'Kent Grey' walls - it's delicate and pretty. The second floor doesn't fail to charm with a joyful array of bespoke storage and fittings. There's a wonderful built-in child's bed nestled into the eaves. Space under this allows for further storage or indeed a fab cubby hole. The lofty rear aspect is bright and airy - you can spy a glimpse of the North Downs through the large sash window. An adjoining en suite gives you the celebrity status with a fab lightbulb trim mirror! A true delight from start to finish.
Forest Hill station is roughly a 12 minute walk for fast and frequent services to London Bridge and the fab London Overground line. Catford and Honor Oak stations are about the same distance in the other direction (the walk is nice and flat so fret not). Catford Bridge offers services to Charing Cross and Waterloo East too. Kilmorie School is just a few minute's stroll and did amazingly well in the borough league tables and is considered one of the most sought after schools in the borough. Green space is local too; favourites are Mayow Park, One Tree Hill, Blythe Hill or Horniman Gardens. Crystal Palace and Dulwich parks are also only a short drive. Eating out? The Dartmouth Arms, Babur and The Orchard restaurant are renowned, and only a short walk. For more options, Dulwich Village and Crystal Palace are within easy reach.
