freehold house
Council tax band: G (approx. £3,028 per year)
EPC rating: D
Hunters Exclusive in Forest Hill are excited to market a property which we believe is a wonderful example of a beautiful period style semi-detached house that has retained many of its original features and offers one of the most striking gardens we have seen in several years.
Located on Sunderland Road which is notably one of Forest Hill’s premier roads. The road is wide, tree lined and offers a mix of property styles, however it is highly acclaimed for double fronted, period houses which have become increasingly rare in recent years. This is one such house.
The property
Offering approximately 2750 sq ft of space, this semi-detached house is substantial for the Forest Hill area as very few other properties would rival its size and grandeur.
Rarely do we see such stunning examples of grand period buildings that have not been developed into flats or rented by the room. Seeing a house of this nature which has maintained many of its delicate and detailed period features is in our experience very rare and extremely exciting.
Here are a few points we feel are worth pointing out:
• The stunning ceiling rose and cornicing has been maintained and cared for. These are intricate and detailed and rarely seen in many houses locally nowadays. Please take note of these in the reception room images particularly
• The stain glass details on the wide, arched front entrance which flood the entrance hall with colour
• Grand fireplaces with cast iron inserts, ornate stone surrounds and hearths which ooze period character are another examples of rare features not often found in houses locally
• High skirting boards, ornate picture and dado rails which have been maintained in keeping with the age of the house (some 130 years old. Age of houses is a prediction and buyers should confirm via their legal advisors)
• Wooden sash windows retained and well maintained in our opinion
• Ornate woodwork through the house examples being the staircases and architraves
• The exterior of the building is a striking sight due to its double fronted appearance, substantial bay window, ornate architecture in several places including the curved entrance, carpentry on the gable end and artistic masonry work in many places
• One of the reception rooms spans almost the entire depth of the house and measures circa 27 ft in length
Despite all these great features many buyers will consider the garden to be the pièce de resistance. Spanning almost 40ft in width and over 150 ft in length this garden is one of the largest we have seen in Forest Hill in many years. Please take note of our drone images to fully appreciate the size of the garden.
The garden is arranged in such a way that it can be utilised in separate areas. The first of which is the patio area which is flooded with sunlight as you will note from our aerial images.
The second area is a lawned area that is landscaped in a circular shape (see aerial images) and features a small pond and seating area with rose-covered trellis. The current owner makes very good use of the space for entertaining and has appropriately named this section of the garden, the Gin Garden.
The other areas are more practical areas of the garden. Here you will find a green house, a chicken coop (currently home to three hens which may not stay when the house is sold), a great sized vegetable garden, a compost area, and a shed to the rear.
Interested parties need to walk through the house to fully appreciate how ornate, character and feature rich it is.
Schools:
Sunderland Road is in proximity of four schools which are rated in Ofsted's top 10%. In our experience, this is quite unusual and a very attractive feature of the location. The four schools are as follows however please note that there are several other highly rated schools locally too:
St Dunstan's College - Church of England, mixed, primary and secondary. This is a private school.
Fairlawn - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Outstanding".
Kilmorie - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Good".
Dalmain - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Good".
