Stunning “turn of the century” terrace house right on the border of Forest Hill and Catford. This lovingly restored house is laid out over three floors to include a larger than average loft and a recently renovated and extended 19’ kitchen breakfast room.
The property has a brand new, architect-designed kitchen with dining room extension that forms a small courtyard garden to the rear reception room. The extension is finished in Douglas Fir across the wall and ceiling to give a uniquely designed space in which to relax and dine. Two sets of double doors open out onto the patio, catching the sun in the afternoon. The 65ft garden has plenty of mature shrubs and trees, widening to over 22ft towards the rear.
The through reception room gives over 25ft of living space. Many of the original period features remain – coving, picture rails, ceiling roses, skirting – plus stripped wooden flooring; fireplaces in both rooms; new wooden shutters to the front (and in the master bedroom) and new double-glazed wooden sashes in most rooms.
There are five bedrooms, two of which are “master” bedrooms, one 16ft wide across the front of the first floor, and the other over 17ft deep in the loft.
Three further bedrooms all fit a double bed – two on the first floor and one in the loft.
The first-floor bathroom has been renewed throughout to provide a sharp, bright, white finish. There is a further WC on the first floor, and a newly added WC on the ground floor.
The house is one of only three on the street that have an extended rear addition, given an extra 7ft approx. Of house extending back. In addition, it is only one of three with an extra 25ft of garden, extending to 65ft, facing South West.

She has loved the garden which adds to the soul and character of the house, and has enjoyed living in a vibrant community in the street, and neighbours working together.
