Property description
The setting is a very pretty residential street in SE23. The house, detached and ever so enchanting, is a breath of fresh air in the current market and has four bedrooms, a study, two receptions, large kitchen with dining and breakfast areas, utility room, cellar and two bathrooms - It's the perfect opportunity to buy yourself an abundant chunk of bricks and mortar! Benson Road connects Honor Oak Road with Devonshire Road and this house is located toward the lower end, so there's no hill to climb on your way home.
Everything inside is also presented in excellent condition throughout which becomes apparent when you step through the pretty stained glass front door. On your right is a perfectly formed study with front facing window, plantation shutters and a peaceful outlook on to the street. On the opposite side of the hall is a big reception room with square bay window and original fireplace. Ceilings are a good height and there are wooden floors running toward the rear. Double doors in the centre lead into a second reception room with much the same décor. Beyond this is a dining room with vaulted skylights flooding the room with light. Glass doors and tall windows also accentuate the light and space well. A few steps down to your right is a breakfast room and adjoining kitchen sporting seamless Poggenpohl units and worktops. Spotlights and glass splashbacks will gain a few nods and there is a twin oven, Miele induction hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer to tackle dinner parties. Back in the hallway you’ll find a set of stairs leading down to a storage cellar behind a closed door. A ground floor cloakroom and handy utility space complete this level.
Four sizeable bedrooms are found upstairs, each currently sporting fitted storage and fireplaces. The master bedroom to the rear has super views over the garden and a spacious en-suite bathroom arranged on an upper level. The second floor has a family bathroom.
The garden is a thing of beauty – stretching 120 feet it raises ever so slightly toward the rear and is mostly laid to lawn with lashings of mature bordering shrubs and trees. A patio seating area can be found closest to the house making it ideal for al-fresco dining and entertaining.
A truly excellent location for transport, schools and green spaces. Forest Hill station is a seven-minute walk, offering regular services and the London Overground line. The fantastic Horniman museum (free entrance!) with its permanent and temporary exhibitions is on your doorstep but if you just fancy a stroll you can visit the museum's delightful gardens with spectacular views and the renowned Farmers' Market every Saturday. Horniman and Fairlawn are your local primary schools (both are very well-liked) and the Dulwich schools are only a short drive. Feeling hungry? Forest Hill is awash with Gastro pubs, cafés, restaurants as well as the convenience of Sainsburys and the local rare breed butcher The Butchery; there's no need to go further than your doorstep!
