Bushey Hill Road, London, SE5 8, SE5 8QF

Dating back to around 1870, this characterful ground-floor flat forms part of a handsome semi-detached Victorian property on Bushey Hill Road, SE5.

Retaining a wealth of original period features and enjoying its own east-facing rear garden, the property offers generous accommodation across two floors.

The mature front garden sets the scene, while the communal entrance hallway makes an immediate impression with its high ceilings and original cornicing.

Inside the flat, period details include a wooden fireplace surround, original door dividers and traditional brass door furniture.

The double-aspect reception room enjoys natural light from the Victorian sash windows to the front and French doors to the rear both featuring the original shutters, creating a bright and welcoming space.

Beyond, the kitchen offers generous storage and a pleasant green outlook over the rear garden, while a separate WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.

A staircase leads to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, including an original fireplace and are complemented by a generous bathroom.

One of the property's particular attractions is its east-facing rear garden, accessed directly from the flat.

Mature fruit trees and established greenery lend the space character and privacy, while the leafy outlook can also be enjoyed from the kitchen. The garden belongs exclusively to the ground-floor flat.

Combining generous accommodation, original Victorian features and a private garden, this is an appealing period property in a well-established part of SE5.
