Description

This period property presents an exciting investment opportunity in a sought-after location between Forest Hill and Sydenham. With five spacious bedrooms and three reception areas, it offers considerable living space of approximately 2,494 sqft, ideal for families or investors looking to capitalize on the area's potential. The house features several original elements, including high ceilings and sash windows, but also requires attention to bring it up to modern standards. There is an undisturbed loft that holds promise for extension (subject to planning permission), adding further value to the property. The charming back garden complements the living space, while nearby amenities—including schools, parks, and transport links—enhance its appeal. This home has already seen some upgrades with a new boiler and central heating system added by the current owner over the years. However, there remains ample scope for personal touches or larger renovations to maximize its value.
