THE PROPERTY:
Hunters are delighted to offer buyers an opportunity to purchase a rare period style house in Forest Hill. Not only is the property a rare find, it also has a stunning extension, offers a rear garden over 70ft and off-street parking for several cars.
In this description, we will cover information about the property, the local schools, transport links and recreational facilities.
Many of the large houses locally have historically been converted into apartments, it’s an absolute pleasure to find a building of this size as a single property that has retained so many of the striking period features.
This period house on Mayow Road offers some of the following character features:
•Fireplaces in most rooms many with ornate cast iron detail, period tiling and surrounds as well as granite style hearth (some of which are working and in use)
•Stain glass period feature
•Panelled doors
•Sash windows
•Stripped floorboards
•High ceilings
•High skirting boards
•Picture rails
•A variation of cornice and coving styles
And with a wonderful, seamless contrast the modern elements include:
•Glass roof on extension
•Replacement period style radiators
•Exposed beams in extension
•Handleless kitchen and kitchen island open to a living space directly connected to the garden
•Smart heating you can control via your mobile device
•Secure store for cycles, scooters etc.
The rear garden is over 70 feet in length and circa 36 feet wide. There is a raised patio area directly off the rear extension, and to the rear of the garden, a decked area with shed creating multiple zones in the outside space for dining, family fun, storage and various other uses such as a workspace, or exercise area etc.
At over 2950 sq ft of space, the house is extremely generous in size competing with many of the largest houses in the local area. You notice how generous the size is as the circulation spaces (hallways and landings) are spacious without compromising the rooms. For example, the smallest bedroom is still circa 12 ft.
Please also note whilst there are six good sized bedrooms the property still offers, a separate study, utility area and three more reception rooms. This makes the accommodation extremely flexible i.e if needed, a reception or bedroom could be converted to a gym, library and so forth.
THE LOCATION:
Located on a wide tree lined road only approximately 0.7 miles to Forest Hill and Sydenham station in the opposite direction, the property is well located for amenities and transport links.
Forest Hill features several small independent high street conveniences including some fantastic cafes, several boutique shops selling clothing and furniture as well as a few great modern, gastro and family friendly pubs.
However, if you require the convenience of a large well-known supermarket and other known high street names, you will find Sainsbury’s, Superdrug and WH Smith along the high street too.
SCHOOLS ARE A BIG ATTRACTION IN FOREST HILL:
Mayow Road is in proximity of several local schools which are highly rated by Ofsted. In our experience, it’s unusual to find a house that is located to this many highly rated schools. Four of those schools are as follows, however there are other well-known local schools including an independent Montessori just a few minutes away:
St Dunstan's College - Church of England, mixed, primary and secondary. This is a private school.
Fairlawn - Public, mixed, primary.
Kilmorie - Public, mixed, primary.
Dalmain - Public, mixed, primary.
Forest Hill Boys – Public, boys, secondary.
