The property is located on Waldenshaw Road which is notably one of Forest Hill’s premier roads and a conversation area. The road is wide, tranquil and offers a mix of property styles, however it’s highly acclaimed substantial period houses have become increasingly rare in recent years. This is one such house.

The property benefits from magnificent high ceilings adopting fantastic coving throughout in keeping with its age and style.

Most of the windows in the property are double-glazed and have been recently refurbished.

As you enter on the ground floor there is a wide hallway with stripped wooden floors, a reception room and 2 double rooms which have been carefully converted into two offices. There is also a separate bathroom.
From here you will go downstairs to the lower ground floor which really is the centre piece of this magnificent property. There is a reception room, beautifully renovated open plan dining room and kitchen which lead to a recently created approximately 270sqft conservatory with sliding doors offering direct access to the beautifully land-scaped garden. The conservatory is adorned with a selection of carefully chosen plants, lighting and underfloor electric heating to offer the ultimate setting in any weather, be it day or night time.

An array of carefully landscaped plants, a vegetable patch, trees, a vegetable patch, a potting shed and a fish pond give this garden a wonderfully peaceful and tranquil feel. To the side of the house there is a staircase which leads to a gate and alleyway with access to an historic air-raid shelter currently seen on the floor-plan as a shed and used as a secure bike store.
