PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
LAUNCHING SATURDAY 27TH MARCH. Located on this popular quiet residential street, twixt Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park, is this beautifully presented 4 double bedroom, semi-detached 1920’s family home. The property has been enhanced by the current owners to create a superb rear kitchen dining room extension leading to a SOUTH facing landscaped rear garden, a side utility room extension and a loft conversion. The house also boasts high ceilings, double glazing throughout and plenty of stylish character and charm.
The house is set back from the street by a walled front garden shielding it from the street. Steps lead up to a front porch which is very handy for brollies and muddy boots on those wet days. Upon entry there is a very generous hallway with stylish tiled flooring underfoot. The winding staircase leads upstairs and offers additional storage underneath as well as the boiler.
The hallway also give access to the downstairs guest toilet where there is a window to the side for light and ventilation and fitted storage cupboards.
Large double doors lead through to the front reception room that is open plan to a fabulous kitchen dining area to the rear. The front reception is a cosy lounge area with a period fireplace as a centre piece and a large bay window that fills this area with natural light. Engineered oak flooring runs seamlessly through this room from the front of the house to the back.
The kitchen dining area is flooded with natural light, thanks its south facing aspect, captured by a large skylight over head and the enormous floor to ceiling sliding doors that fill the whole width of the house! There is plenty of space for a dining room table and chairs for entertaining guests and a central island with a breakfast bar defines the kitchen area.
The kitchen is elegant and stylish, there is an abundance of white wall and base mounted units hiding integrated appliances with solid wood worktops above housing the sink and hob with extractor above and a funky tiled splash-back.
The side of the house has been extended to create a wonderfully functional and practical utility room that you can shut the door on to hide any unwanted appliances and mess that comes with them. There is a window to the side allowing for natural light and ventilation and it offers an abundance of additional storage.
The large sliding doors that occupy the whole rear of the house frames the SOUTH facing rear garden. Thanks to the topography of the hill there is a distinct feeling of space and privacy as the landscape falls away from the house offering far reaching views, even from the ground floor.
As soon you step out there is an inviting grey sandstone patio area with a built-in benched seating area to the right, a perfect spot for summer barbeques and al fresco dining, to the left there is access to the side return leading out to the front of the house. A raised white wall divides this area with the lower part of the garden which has steps in the middle leading down to a lush green lawn surrounded by mature plants, trees and shrubs.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is a spacious landing with engineered Oak flooring that runs seamlessly through to all the bedrooms, the landing provides access to all of the bedrooms and the staircase continues to the converted loft space above.
Two of the bedrooms are at the font of the house, the smaller double makes a good kids bedroom, nursery or home office, the other is a good size double that has a large bay window offering plenty of natural light. To the rear of the house is another good size double bedroom that offers lovely far-reaching views over the garden and beyond.
The family bathroom is stylishly decorated with stone effect tiled flooring that is mirrored on the wall above the bathtub enclosing the shower above with a glass screen. There is a contemporary double ‘his and her’ sink with a large vanity draws underneath accompanying by a jazzy splash-back, there is also a contemporary toilet and a chrome heated towel rail. Dual windows make this bathroom very light and offer plenty of natural ventilation.
The loft has been converted to create a good size double bedroom with and en-suite bathroom, there is more engineered Oak flooring underfoot and two large skylights offering plenty of natural light above. Along one side of the room is a fitted desk with storage underneath and access to the eaves for more additional storage.
