Property details
An exciting opportunity to stamp your own mark on a highly popular road situated in Herne Hill, on the ever popular Fawnbrake Road. This semi-detached four double bedroom period townhouse benefits from plenty of outside space with a lovely south-east facing position.
A large double-fronted reception room occupies the front of the building, following on is a contemporary kitchen with garden access, a WC, plus a second and considerably spacious reception room, opening out onto a conservatory. The house still displays some of the endearing Victorian characteristics that are popular with buyers such as high corniced ceilings, multiple bay windows and feature fireplaces. The property measures up at an impressive 1850 square feet, and offers the opportunity to extend (STPP), which would increase the overall square footage and value of this period house.
On the first floor, four nicely sized double bedrooms, one of which spans the entire width of the house, and a family bathroom with a separate WC. With this much space on offer, a purchaser will be able to repurpose rooms to suit their own needs, creating a home that is tailored entirely to their style and requirements.
This house also offers a basement, ideal for storage and could possibly be repurposed as a handy utility room. The large south-east facing garden is a sun trap, the perfect spot to host in the summer or relax in your own private outside space. There is direct garden access to the side which is also very handy for anyone who is a keen gardener or any dog walkers to avoid mess through the house after a trip to the lauded Brockwell Park.
