Big Dreams Deserve A BIG Blank Canvas. This versatile Victorian home has so much potential if you’ve dreamed of creating your perfect period property. With four substantial floors, it offers so much scope to blend the best of old and new.

From the outside, this substantial Victorian mid-terrace looks just like its 19th century neighbours on this lovely leafy street. It’s a safe place for the kids to play out and the kind of street where neighbours will soon become good friends.

But when you step inside you'll discover four floors of potential just waiting to be realised.

If you’ve ever dreamed about getting your teeth into a period property project this could be the perfect opportunity to create your ultimate family home.

It’s been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 70 years and each of the rooms has retained a selection of charming period features you can use as your muse.

The ground floor has a traditional layout with a spacious bay fronted living room and dining room linked by double doors.

The heart of any modern family home is surely the kitchen and it’s likely you may want to open up the kitchen and the 3rd reception room next door to create a more sociable space for the family to cook, eat and relax together.

You could even go a stage further and extend out to the rear or the side return to give even more space (subject to planning permission of course).

There’s certainly enough room at the back to do so. The secluded back garden is approximately 100ft long, with a paved seating area nearest the house and plenty of scope behind to landscape into a gorgeous sun trap space.

The first floor has three bedrooms (the large front bedroom with the bay window is the pick of the bunch) a bathroom and a separate w/c.

Chances are you’ll want to update the bathroom into a modern and luxurious sanctuary, so at that point you can decide whether to keep the w/c separate or combine them to create one larger room.

The top floor has another spacious double bedroom and a bathroom.

But there are four floors of potential rather than just three.

Wait until you see the massive basement - your mind will be racing with all the possibilities. Given it’s previously been used to host Girl Guide camps(!) that should give you an idea of the amount of space on offer.

It would be perfect if you wanted to transform it into an extra room (or rooms) for hobbies, gaming or a home cinema/bar.

This substantial period property has so much potential and being in Telegraph Hill makes it an even more attractive package.

It’s a creative hotspot, thanks in part to the generations of Goldsmiths students who’ve settled here to bring up their families.

Your lives will be enriched by participating in the inspirational annual Telegraph Hill Arts Festival, which fosters a true sense of community spirit.

Your fantastic back garden could be transformed into a superb outdoor space but if you want more room to let the kids (or the dog!) burn off some energy, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to local parks.

If you time your weekend trip to the park just right you could grab a slice of delicious D4100 pizza from the Hill Station Café and wash it down with a glass of something chilled from one of the many excellent pubs.

There’s so much on offer in Telegraph Hill you may not want to leave the area. When you do need to head further afield you’ve got plenty of public transport options nearby.

Nunhead station is closest. It’s around 10 minutes walk and has direct trains to St. Pancras, Blackfriars and Victoria.

It’s always good to have a Plan B and if you walk 15 minutes to Queens Road Peckham you can jump on an overground train which will speed you to Canada water in around 8 minutes or London Bridge in only 14.

With this being such a family-friendly home you’ll be delighted by the choice of great local schools.

Edmund Waller Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is literally 2 minutes walk away (just a little further down Waller Road) so you can say goodbye to school run traffic or parking stress.

The “Outstanding” Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College, is not much further. It’s just around the corner on Peyps Road (in fact the current owners bought the house from Haberdashers…).

As this property has been owned by the same family for over 70 years, you can tell the love and care that’s been taken by several generations. It’s now available chain-free, giving you the opportunity to move in and transform it into your dream family home.

With so much potential on offer, in such a sought-after Telegraph Hill setting, this substantial period property is going to get plenty of interest.
