So let’s make the most of the opportunity to go through the keyhole and have a look inside the four-bedroom home, which sits on an exclusive development at Forest Hill Park, to the north of town, off Blyth Road.
It is being marketed by The Good Estate Agent, who are inviting offers in the region of £849,500 for the grade II listed villa-style house, which was originally built way back in 1834.
A spokesperson for the company says: “The property has been comprehensively and sympathetically refurbished in recent years, and combines authentic period gravitas with present-day luxuries and refinement.
"All the rooms are incredibly spacious, and many feature high ceilings and large windows, enhancing its light and ambience.
“The house retains many restored, original features. The result is an exceptional family home with a versatile layout and also the potential for a separate annexe or apartment if required.”
The ground floor is made up of a porch, entrance hall, inner hallway, reception room, kitchen/’/breakfast room, bedroom with en suite shower room, bathroom and a second bedroom that could be used as a games room.
Upstairs, you will find a landing, two more reception rooms, two more bedrooms, both with en suite facilities, and a kitchen area.
Outside, a private driveway, with electrically operated gates, provides lots of off-street parking space. A large garage has room for three vehicles, as well as tools and equipment.
At the back, there is an enclosed ‘secret garden’, while the whole plot is not only enclosed by substantial hedges, guaranteeing privacy, it is also covered by a full security system with cameras in operation.
Our photo gallery below shows some of the wonderful rooms. Check out the Zoopla website here for more information, including a floor plan.
