PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
CHAIN FREE! Immaculately presented large 5-bedroom, 4 bathroom, 1930’s semi-detached family home set in one of the premier roads in Honor Oak, Forest hill. Offering almost 2500 sqft of floor space on a substantial plot, this stunning house benefits from off street parking for a few cars, a large side return leading to a generous private rear garden, home office garden studio, wooden flooring and double glazing throughout as well as spectacular views of the Kent countryside from every level.
The house has great kerb appeal with large curved bay windows, set back from the street by a huge walled driveway. Steps lead up to the entrance which is shielded by a charming porch. Upon entry there is a wide hallway offering plenty of space for a buggies, shoes, shopping and the like. To right hand side there is a study that has a fitted desk and a floor to ceiling cupboard that houses the water tank. The window offers a view out to the front of the house.
Under the stairs there is an ingenious fitted storage cupboard with drawers and a guest toilet.
On the other side of the house is a generous reception room which has solid Oak flooring, high ceilings, a cast iron fireplace with a natural stone surround and fitted shelving in the alcoves. The curved bay window fitted with plantation shutters illuminates the room with natural light.
At the rear of the property is fabulous kitchen dining reception room. This area was only just recently extended in the last few years so everything is still relatively new!
The whole area has tiled flooring with underfloor heating and spectacular floor to ceiling sliding doors leading out to a raised patio area and into the garden.
The cosy lounge area to the left has another lovely natural stone fireplace matching the front room and just by the doors is a dining area which has a large skylight above.
The contemporary style kitchen is set to the side separated by a large central island that has pendant lights above.
There are plenty of wall and base mounted dark grey units with a stone worktop above. The sink sits neatly under a window overlooking the garden and a large 5 ring range cooker with extractor hood above sits next to another large window that offers lovely views over the Kent countryside in the distance. All the appliances are integrated with space for a double American style fridge freezer. The whole kitchen area is so bright with natural light thanks to the windows but it’s also illuminated by a huge skylight above too.
Just off the kitchen to the side of the house is the utility room which has two worktops, space for a washing machine and drier, a sink set under a window to the side return and a patio door that leads out the side too.
The garden is a great size, almost as long as it is wide and has been beautifully landscaped. The raised patio offers a seating area closest to the house and provides a fantastic space for entertaining guests or al fresco dining. It is off set nicely by the charcoal cladding that wraps around the extension. The lower area of garden is a large lawn bordered by mature plants, shrubs and trees.
At the far end of the garden is a good size shed for gardening equipment and a large studio/garden room that is hard wired for electricity making this a versatile additional space. The current vendors are using it for storage but it could quite easily be an office, gym, work studio, summer house or kids play area.
A pathway leads from the back of the garden to the side return where there is access to the front of the house via a gate and into the utility room.
On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms! Off the staircase to the right is a bedroom with an en-suite shower room that is located directly above the study. Here there are fitted cupboards and windows furnished with shutters. This room is perfect for guests or a child’s bedroom.
The en-suite shower room is fully tiled with a window for light and ventilation, it has a separate shower enclosure, a toilet, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.
Towards the rear of the house is a spacious family bathroom, once again fully tiled with a shower located above the bathtub, a wall hung toilet, a wash hand basin that sits under a mirrored wall and a frosted window allows for natural light and ventilation.
Adjacent is a large double bedroom which offers nice views over the rear garden and has fitted wardrobes in one of the alcoves.
At the front of the house is the main bedroom which has a curved bay window mirroring the reception room downstairs. Along one wall there are floor to ceiling fitted cupboards and solid Oak wooden flooring.
Accompanying this room is an en-suite shower room accompanied by a walk-in wardrobe. The en-suite has a shower enclosure, wall hung toilet and a wash hand basin. A double-glazed window offers natural light and ventilation.
The top floor has been converted to create an additional two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room and spectacular views over Kent from a Juliette balcony off the side of the house.
The other bedroom is located at the front of the property and has a Cabrio balcony skylight which fully opens to reveal more breath-taking far-reaching views. This room has an additional secret, there is a hidden cupboard that leads to a storeroom that sits above the staircase, a perfect hideout for the kids or a very secure store.
