Description
The property:
This is a rare opportunity to purchase chain free, one of the rarest period style maisonettes Forest Hill has to offer.
The property is being sold with the freehold for the building which is also extremely rare.
Making this opportunity even more attractive, planning permission was granted for the extension of the space on the second floor. This would offer scope for further development / personalisation and adding value. We’ll provide additional detail on the planning permission below.
Offering over 2100 sq ft of space, plus outside store, garden room and decked garden area with outside cooking and dining facilities, this property offers more space and is more feature rich than many 3 / 4 bedroom houses locally at the same or higher price point.
In this description, we will cover information about the property and locality, however given the extremely unique nature if this property, we strongly recommend buyers look through our HD video walk through (please watch entire video as there are elements of this property that images alone cannot communicate such as the grand entrance on the ground floor with winding staircase onto the upper floor). We also encourage you to view the 360 degree interactive virtual tour so you may fully appreciate the grandeur of the landing and rooms from several angles. Finally, please look out for the drone video footage and images as this will highlight the extent of the front and rear gardens as well as the size of the plot the property controls under its freehold title.
In a time when many large houses have been converted into several small apartments, it’s a rare pleasure to find a building of this size separated into only two properties and retaining the stunning character and charisma of the Edwardian era.
We will bullet point several of the features on offer some of which you may not see in the visuals and would be keen to know about prior to viewing:
•planning permission – In 2018 planning consent was granted (and has now lapsed) for the construction of a side and rear roof extensions and a rear dormer extension together with the installation of roof lights in the front roof slope and the removal of the rear chimney. The plans show an ensuite and walk in wardrobe in this area, but buyers may wish adapt the plans to meet their own requirements should they wish to explore reinstating this permission. Contact Hunters for more information.
•the garden – The current owners are hands on gardeners and have created an outside space akin to a tropical oasis. You will note some stunning features trees and planting areas however less easy to notice are the mature vegetable patches, small pond, fire pit, outside cooking / dining space and wood store / composting area tucked away out of sight to the rear of the garden. The raised decking is in a lovely, elevated position from which to enjoy seated dining and a BBQ or a cosy meal and drink on a winter’s eve
•the garden room / summer house – As this has electricity, it’s a great extension of the living space. Currently being used as a store and home gym, the new owners might choose to create a home office from this multi purpose space
•storage – Please study the floor plan to appreciate the vast amount of storage available both inside and outside. Internally there are several built in stores. Less noticeable are the store areas contained under the stairs and the clever use of built in storage in the top floor, this is aside from the regular eave storage and outside integral cupboard (currently being used as a wine store)
•utility room – Please refer to the floor plan where you will see a separate utility room located off the kitchen which houses some of the appliances such as washing machine, leaving more space for storage in the kitchen
•the driveway – The property comes with a substantial front drive that is gated. Please refer to the drone images to get a better sense of this space
•There are wooden framed sash windows with vibrant stained glass. One creates a striking entrance to the property and another two create a feast for the eyes in the bathroom
•The panelled doors stripped back to the wood complementing the stripped sash window frames
•There’s a stunning cast iron fireplace with period style tiles and granite hearth that forms the centrepiece of the living space (see close up image included in the advert)
•Through the property you’ll notice a variation of cornicing and coving styles some of which offer a deep level of detail (please see lounge images)
•Picture rails, ornate ceiling rose, window shutters stripped floor boards, high skirting boards and detailed door architraves are some of the other features that stand out
•The front garden faces westerly capturing the midday to evening light as does the lounge and what is currently being used as a dining room (but could be used as a bedroom) whilst the rear garden faces easterly capturing the morning and afternoon sun, perfect for socialising and weekend lunches
•The private rear garden is circa 70 feet in length and over 35 feet wide due to the size of the plot. Again these dimensions are beyond many of the houses you may find locally
•Although the property is being marketed as a four bedroom it can also be utilised as a three bedroom with two reception rooms. You will note from the images that the current owners are using one of the rooms as a dedicated dining area which is great for entertaining.

Schools are A big attraction in forest hill:
Mayow Road is in proximity of several local schools which have been in Ofsted's top 10%. In our experience, it’s unusual to find a property 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, rated Ofsted "Outstanding".
