PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
GUIDE PRICE £450k - £475k. Located in the heart of Forest Hill, set on the first and second floor of a handsome Victorian house on the popular residential street is this superb 2 double bedroom, split level garden maisonette, being sold with a SHARE OF FREEHOLD, two bathrooms, double glazed windows throughout and a neatly landscaped private rear garden. The property is beautifully presented throughout and offers an abundance of space (852sqft / 79.24 sqm).
The house is set back from the street by a walled front patio garden with its own entrance directly to the flat set on the side of the building. The entrance hall is a useful space especially if you are a keen cyclist as the hallway also provides direct access to the private rear garden. A staircase leads up to the living accommodation.
The garden has been beautifully landscaped by the current owners to create a peaceful and private oasis. There is a raised decked area, perfect for a table and chairs for alfresco dining in the summer, a lawn is surrounded by boxed borders full of mature plants and shrubs and there is a shed for storing gardening equipment.
Upstairs on the first floor is a hallway that provides access to all the rooms including the staircase continues up to the main bedroom suite in the converted loft.
On the half landing towards the rear of the property a huge walk in cupboard which houses the boiler, perfect for storing coats, shoes, brollies, and the like.
At the far end of the property is a lovely kitchen breakfast room. There are wood effect floors and plenty of natural light from dual aspect windows, one on the side where there is space for a small table and chairs and one at the back overlooking the gardens.
There are plenty of white wall and base mounted units, set on two side of the room, with white tiled splash back, a wood effect worktop above housing the sink with drainer on one side and the oven and hob on the other.
Up from the half landing towards the middle of the house is the second bedroom which is currently being used as a home office but obviously makes a good double bedroom. It has grey wood effect flooring, high ceilings and a large sash style window that looks out to the rear gardens.
Opposite on the other side of the hallway is the bathroom, which has tiled walls and floors, a bath with shower attachment above, a wash hand basin with vanity unit below a toilet. The bathroom is situated above the entrance hall which means it has two windows, one facing the front one to the back, both are frosted for privacy and offer natural light and ventilation.
At the front of the house, spanning the whole width of the property is a generous reception room with high ceilings, a recently installed feature fireplace with shelving in the alcoves, carpeted flooring and two large windows that flood the room with natural light.
From the hallway the staircase leads up again to the converted loft which was completed by the current owners to create a spectacular main bedroom suite. There is an abundance of natural light up here thanks to the large skylights at the front of the house and the Juliette balcony that has lovely far reaching views. The floors are grey wood effect and there is additional storage under the eaves.
The bedroom is also accompanied by a luxurious shower room which has a contemporary walk in shower with white metro tiles, there is a stylish wash hand basin and a toilet that sits under a skylight offering natural light and ventilation.
