PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Charming 3/4-bedroom Victorian family home with landscaped garden, off-street parking & excellent schools nearby.
Offered to the market in exceptional condition following a full renovation, this beautifully presented three/four-bedroom Victorian family home is ideally located on a desirable tree-lined residential street in the heart of Forest Hill—just a minute’s walk from the Outstanding-rated Kilmorie Primary School.
Set back from the road, the property boasts superb kerb appeal with its classic red-brick façade, square bay sash windows, and an arched porch entrance. Inside, the home offers generously proportioned living spaces, stylish interiors, and a recently landscaped private garden, perfect for modern family living.
Ground floor: elegant living with original character.
The home opens into a wide hallway featuring wooden parquet flooring that runs seamlessly throughout the ground floor. The entrance area also includes a stylish guest WC, cleverly hidden behind a contemporary slatted wooden feature wall, as well as a coat cupboard for added practicality.
To the front of the home is a bright and spacious reception room, tastefully decorated and full of character, featuring high ceilings, a working period fireplace with ornate surround, and large double-glazed sash windows that fill the room with natural light.
To the rear is a stunning extended kitchen and dining room, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. It boasts sleek cabinetry, matching splashbacks, stylish countertops, and high-end built-in appliances. A large skylight and a picture window over the sink enhance the natural light, while patio doors in the rear bay provide a seamless connection to the garden.
Centrally located, behind a striking stained-glass door, is the home's “engine room”—a generous utility room that serves as an extension of the kitchen, complete with an additional sink, full-height shelving, and ample space for appliances and kitchenware.
Garden: a private, landscaped retreat with studio potential
The beautifully landscaped rear garden stretches approx. 62ft (19m) and offers a peaceful retreat with raised beds surrounding a lush lawn. A sandstone patio provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, while a pathway leads to a second patio—ideal for evening drinks on summer nights.
All fencing has been recently upgraded with concrete posts and gravel boards for durability and style. At the far end of the garden sits a large shed, perfect for storage or easily converted into a home office or creative studio. A side gate offers convenient rear access, ideal for gardening or discreet refuse removal.
Upstairs: three double bedrooms & a stylish bathroom.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom spans the full width of the house and features three large sash windows, high ceilings, fitted wardrobes, and original floorboards—a space of grand proportions and natural charm.
The second bedroom, located centrally, is another well-sized double with garden views, original flooring, and ample room for furniture.
The family shower room is sleek and contemporary, showcasing dark blue gloss wall tiles, a plant feature wall, and a luxurious walk-in shower with brass fittings. A marble-effect countertop with an integrated basin sits below a frosted, black-framed window, complemented by a large mirror and thoughtfully positioned lighting.
At the rear of the house is the third double bedroom, complete with original floorboards and a charming bay window overlooking the garden - ideal as a guest room, child’s bedroom, or home office.
Loft: versatile converted space with further potential
The converted loft provides a bright and functional space - ideal as a home office, hobby room, or occasional guest bedroom. It features skylights on both sides, a box dormer with a stained-glass window, and eaves storage. Subject to planning, the space offers further potential to extend with a full rear dormer, allowing for an additional bedroom and bathroom.
