PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
OPEN DAY SATURDAY 5th SEPTEMBER. Perched on the popular Canonbie Road, offering stunning views over the London Skyline, is this large semi-detached, 1930's 4 bedroom family home with off street parking, integrated garage and large 100 ft private rear garden. The house is in need of modernisation and offers huge potential for anyone looking for a project to put their own stamp on a property.
The house is set back from the street by a walled front garden with a driveway leading to the garage that is set to the side. The property benefits from over 2000 sq ft of floor space, double glazing throughout and working central heating, it has an impressive red brick façade with bay windows and an enclosed porch that leads to the front door.
Upon entering the property there is a spacious hallway with a staircase leading up and access to storage underneath, there is also a hatch that leads to the basement and under croft.
The front reception room is a generous size offering high ceilings, a fireplace and a large curved bay window that fills the room with natural light.
To the rear of the property is the kitchen breakfast room and dining room. The kitchen has space for a table and chairs and plenty of wall and base mounted units with space for white goods. A window looks out to the balcony and the rear garden below. A door to the side leads out to a utility area where there is a toilet and wash hand basin. From here there is also direct access into the garage and the veranda which offers spectacular views over the London Skyline.
The dining room has sliding doors that lead out to a raised conservatory that also offers amazing views over London and leads out to the veranda.
The veranda spans the whole width of the house and has a staircase that leads down to the 100 ft rear garden which has a tiered lawn, a pathway that winds through the middle and boarders of mature plants and shrubs either side with large trees at the far end.
Below the veranda is an under croft basement area which currently makes excellent storage or a work shop but with some imagination, offers scope for an expansion project subject to planning consent. Some of the neighbouring properties have relocated the kitchen down here providing direct access to the garden.
Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, and a bathroom accessible from the landing where there is a spiralling wooden staircase, which is a particularly nice feature. The landing also has a storage cupboard and large side window with stained glass that brings in natural light to the hallway.
On the first floor there are two large doubles bedrooms, one at the front of the house which has fitted cupboards in the alcoves of the chimney breast and a large curved bay window and the other double bedroom to the rear over-looks the garden and far beyond. The other bedroom on this floor is at the front of the house and would make a good study or child’s bedroom.
The bathroom is at the back of the house and has a bath with shower above, a toilet and wash hand basin that sits under a frosted window that allows for natural light and ventilation.
At the top of the house the loft has been converted to create a large double bedroom, the window from the Dorma offers particularly spectacular views over London and Canary Wharf. There is also additional storage in the eaves.
Offering over 2000 sqft of living space this already makes a good size family home but there is also plenty of potential to create an even bigger and better home.
Canonbie Road is a very popular location, there is a very good community of local residents and great amenities nearby. There are a number of highly rated Ofstead schools locally (Horniman and Fairlawn Primary schools).
Canonbie Road is conveniently flanked by Honor Oak Park on one side and Forest Hill on the other, both areas offering a bustling array of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants for all ages. Both Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill stations are equidistant, about 0.5 miles. Both have the efficient Overground service and National Rail to London Bridge. Nearby green leafy open spaces can be found at Horniman Gardens, One Tree Hill, Blythe Hill Fields, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye.
