Set across more than 2,500 sq ft, this substantial six bedroom Victorian home on South Norwood Hill offers the kind of space, character and flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. With generous proportions throughout, two bathrooms, a downstairs WC, two balconies, a south west facing garden and off street parking for multiple cars, this is a home designed to accommodate family life both now and for many years to come.
Behind its impressive Victorian frontage lies an abundance of living space arranged across multiple floors. Six well proportioned bedrooms provide plenty of room for a growing family, while the scale of the house creates genuine flexibility for home working, guest accommodation, playrooms or additional reception space. Two bathrooms and a convenient downstairs WC add practicality for a busy household.
The outdoor space is another major feature of the home. In addition to the front balcony, there are two rear terraces enjoying far reaching views across Surrey, providing fantastic elevated spaces to sit outside and take in the surroundings.
To the rear, the south west facing garden is perfectly positioned to make the most of the afternoon and evening sun, creating a brilliant setting for summer entertaining, family gatherings or simply relaxing at the end of the day. Side access allows direct entry to the garden without having to pass through the house, particularly useful for bikes, gardening equipment and larger landscaping projects.
Off street parking for multiple vehicles further enhances the practicality of the property, especially for a family home of this size in such a well connected London location.
The location is particularly well suited to families, with a good selection of primary and secondary schools within the surrounding area. Cypress Primary School, which also provides nursery provision, and South Norwood Primary School are both nearby, with both having received Good Ofsted ratings.
For older children, Harris Academy South Norwood is approximately a 10 minute walk from the property and has been rated Good by Ofsted, with its sixth form rated Outstanding. Harris City Academy Crystal Palace is also within approximately a 10 to 15 minute walk and has received an Outstanding Ofsted rating, giving families a strong selection of schooling options within easy reach of home.
South Norwood Lakes is within walking distance, offering open green space, woodland and lakeside walks close to home. Crystal Palace Triangle is also within easy reach and has become one of South London’s most popular destinations for independent shopping, cafés, restaurants and pubs, with local favourites including Joanna’s, Four Hundred Rabbits and the boutiques, antique shops and independent businesses centred around Westow Street, Westow Hill and Church Road.
For commuters, Norwood Junction Station is conveniently located down the hill, providing fast and frequent connections into London Bridge and the wider city, giving the location an excellent balance between space, greenery and accessibility.
Homes offering more than 2,500 sq ft, six bedrooms, substantial outside space and parking for multiple cars rarely become available in this part of South Norwood. This is a property with the proportions to grow into rather than grow out of, offering the next owners the opportunity to create a genuine long term family home.
A viewing is the only way to fully appreciate the scale, versatility and setting on offer.
