About this home

Please Quote TM18280 For All Enquiries | Guide Price £1,495,000-£1,595,000 Ideally located in SE23, this substantial semi-detached Victorian house would make the perfect home for any growing family looking to take advantage of everything that Forest Hill has to offer. Built circa. 1880 and rumoured to be the original show home all those years ago, this beautiful property is bursting with character and according to local residents it has some adaptations that the other homes do not. The What Woolstone Road boasts an impressive sixteen internal rooms providing a versatile and adaptable footprint to set up home. Through the incredible original stained-glass door you are met by a wide L-shaped hallway which leads on to two reception spaces, a cloak room, a dining room, the kitchen, a conservatory and the spa room. All rooms are generous in size and are flexible and easily adaptable to suit your requirement whether that be a play room for the kids or a home office when working from home. The first floor features two large double bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms. The family bathroom includes a bath tub and a separate shower plus there is a beautiful fireplace serving as a reminder to just how grand this home is. The principle bedroom hosts the en-suite shower room plus has a bonus room which currently serves as a walk in wardrobe (although could easily be transformed in to a nursery if you want to keep the little one close). On to the top floor where there are four generous bedrooms all of which are large enough to fit a double bed. The beamed ceilings really give these rooms a homely feel plus there is also eaves storage to tuck away those belongings that don't need to be on show for guests to see! To the rear of the house there is a beautifully sunny garden which has both lawned and paved areas. There is a powered summer house which could be used as a home office, a garden bar, workshop or kids breakout space. Rather vast in size, there is plenty of room to extend the house further without compromising on external space (subject to the usual planning consents of course). Remaining outdoors but to the front of the building, there is off street parking large enough for two cars. The Where Woolstone Road enjoys an outstanding location in the incredibly popular Forest Hill. Both Kilmorie and Rathfern primary schools are just a short walk away, with St Dunstan's College also close by making it a genuine draw for families. For commuters, the closest train station is just 0.6 miles away with a number of alternative options on the table too. Forest Hill Station (London Overground, Southern Line), Catford Bridge (South Eastern Line) and Catford (Thameslink Line) provide fast links to London Bridge, Blackfriars, Canada Water, Whitechapel and beyond. Day-to-day essentials are well covered with supermarkets within easy reach, alongside Forest Hill's popular independent café and restaurant scene. Green space is a real highlight of the area — Blythe Hill Fields offers panoramic views across London and is just a short stroll away, while the acclaimed Horniman Museum and Gardens is also close by, giving residents a wonderful mix of everyday convenience and outdoor space right on the doorstep. The Why Across the area, homes of this stature simply do not come up that often. Almost 3,000sqft. spanning sixteen internal rooms provides ample opportunity to create a home that really works for you - a completely different offering to most homes nearby. As much as the space is impressive, the show stopper has to be the period features throughout the property. A whopping nine fireplaces, a rarely seen curved wall on the first floor and ornate cornicing which has been so well maintained that if you didn't already know the age of the house, you would think it was installed just yesterday. All in all, if you are someone with a passion for authentic period detailing - welcome home.
