It's close to Honor Oak station, as well as the highly rated Fairlawn Primary school and Francesca Cabrini primary school.
This handsome redbrick house has been well maintained by the current owners, it offers a wealth of period features and plenty of scope for modernisation, including a large loft space that is ripe for conversion (subject to planning consents).
The property is set back from the street by a low maintenance front garden with steps leading up to the front door. The house offers plenty of kerb appeal with a red brick façade, square bay sash windows and an original Victorian door with stain glass is protected by a recessed porch. There is also side return access to the rear garden.
Upon entry there is a wide hallway with a staircase leading up, incorporating storage underneath.
At the front of the house is a generous reception room which is raised from ground level allowing for privacy and plenty of natural light from the large sash bay window. The room benefits from high ceilings with detailed original cornicing, the floors are carpeted with original floorboards underneath and there is a feature fireplace in the chimney breast.
Adjacent is the second reception room which offers more high ceilings with cornicing and carpeted flooring with original floorboards beneath. A large floor to ceiling window looks out to the side return offering views to the garden and plenty of natural light into the room.
The rear of the house is occupied by a large kitchen dining room where there is plenty of space for a dining room table and chairs under a double-glazed window that looks out to the side return, a great space for entertaining guests or family. On the other side of the room, the chimney breast houses the boiler and the alcoves have been utilised for storage.
The kitchen has plenty of wall and base mounted cupboards with a worktop housing the oven and the sink that sits neatly under the double-glazed window overlooking the garden to the rear. To the side is a double-glazed patio door leading to the garden.
The SOUTH FACING garden has been well maintained and landscaped with the lay of the land Nearest to the house there is a paved patio for your morning coffee. There are two distinct areas, the lower patio area and winding steps lead up to a grassy lawn that is surrounded by boarders of mature plants, shrubs and trees. At the far end of the garden is a large shed for storing gardening equipment and the like.
Upstairs spanning the whole width of the house is a fabulous main bedroom with high ceilings and three full width sash windows, two of which sit in a bay drawing in natural light.

Bedroom 2 is also a very good size double; it also has high ceilings and carpeted floors. An original sash window overlooks the garden through the side return.
In the middle of the first floor is the family bathroom which is a decent size and in perfectly good working order but requires modernisation. A frosted double-glazed window to the side offers natural light and ventilation.
At the end of the house is bedroom three, a charming double with carpeted flooring and lovely views directly over the garden through a double-glazed window.
The fourth bedroom is located between the bathroom and the rear bedroom, this is the smallest bedroom of the four but would make a good child's bedroom or a study.
