Located in one of Forest Hill's most sought-after pockets, Tewkesbury Road makes up part of the coveted Tewkesbury Lodge Estate. Select properties in this enclave benefit from far reaching skyline views over London encompassing The Shard, BT Tower and London Eye to name but a few. Due to it’s unique positioning the property offers a high level of privacy from the front and rear aspect.

The property originally a 1930s period home has been cleverly extended to the side successfully mixing heritage with contemporary design. The ground floor is made up of a smart formal reception with feature fireplace, and an impressive 29 by 27 ft kitchen dining area, perfect for family living. Sliding doors lead out to a landscaped garden which has been thoughtfully zoned, with patio, dining and separate lawned area and is planted with an array of edible plants suitable for anyone who likes to cook.

The kitchen is modern with sleek grey cabinetry, marble effect porcelain splash backs and Kitchen Aid/ Neff appliances. Cleverly thought-out storage units make the most of even those hard to use spaces, including but not limited to extra deep draws and cupboards and floor to ceiling units. There is a practical utility room equipped with washer dryer and additional fridge-freezer, plus a downstairs WC.

The expertly designed interior incorporates a range of natural materials, is flooded with light, and has a sensible flow to it. Solid engineered hard wood flooring runs the expanse of the entire ground floor and the property benefits from top of the range Velfac double glazed aluminium windows, which in places are floor to ceiling. Integrated speakers have been installed, ideal for those who like to entertain.

On the first floor is a large master wing with generous sized en-suite, private walk-in wardrobe and comfortably holds a super king bed with plentiful space for other furniture too. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, two good sized doubles, one with a charming window seat feature and one smaller box room/study. Original 1930s floorboards have been restored and finished in a limewash.

A further large double with ensuite takes up the second floor with feature pop out skylight window giving more fantastic views, and plentiful additional storage.

The property is being sold chain free, is in immaculate condition throughout and viewings are highly recommended. Tenure: Freehold.
