Gaynesford Road, Forest Hill, London, SE23

An exquisite 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom period home, meticulously refurbished in 2020 and located in the heart of Forest Hill on Gaynesford Road. This architectural gem, originally designed and built in the Arts and Crafts era by renowned local builder Edward Christmas, combines period charm with modern luxury.

The property retains many original features that make these houses so popular, including cornices, picture and dado rails, cast iron fireplaces, and over-mantle wooden surrounds throughout. Stained glass and intricately carved wooden detailing add unique touches that set this home apart.

Enter through the main hall and you are drawn toward the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining space, perfect for entertaining. The space features solid oak herringbone flooring, a bespoke kitchen and a snug, ideal as a playroom or home office, depending on the new owner's needs. To the front is a beautifully decorated lounge with original sash windows and an impressive fireplace.

Upstairs are three large double bedrooms, the principal with an ensuite shower room. The fourth bedroom is a smaller room, ideal for a nursery or office space. The main family bathroom is complete with a freestanding Lusso stone bath and walk-in shower, while the downstairs WC and ensuite shower room are beautifully designed with Crosswater brassware and a mixture of Mandarin Stone and Otto tiles.

The mature south-facing garden offers a large patio space, perfect for summer evenings, while the lawn provides ample space for play. This home perfectly blends period elegance and contemporary comfort in a prime Forest Hill location.
