Milkwood Road, London, SE24 0JB

Set on a classic Victorian terrace in Herne Hill, this handsome three bedroom house pairs period character with a beautifully finished rear extension, plus a loft with potential to convert (STPP).

A tiled path leads into a welcoming entrance hallway with elegant wall panelling, understairs storage and a guest WC.

To the front, the double reception has been opened through to create one long, flowing space, with a bay window pouring in light, a fireplace at each end and fitted alcove shelving giving the room a calm, considered feel.

The reception opens directly into the kitchen, the real showpiece of the house.

Light floods in through the glazed roof of the side return, falling across a striking exposed brick wall lined with open shelving.

A generous island with hob and breakfast bar seating sits at its centre, alongside sleek cabinetry, a wine cooler, herringbone flooring and a dining area.

Double doors open onto a low maintenance garden with a paved terrace and lawn. Upstairs, the split landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom sits to the front with a feature fireplace and fitted wardrobes, the second also enjoys a fireplace and built in storage, and the third currently works well as a study.

The bathroom features deep green walls, patterned tiled flooring, a freestanding bath and a separate shower.

With scope to extend into the loft (STPP), this is a home with seamless flow today and room to grow tomorrow.

Milkwood Road sits between Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction, among terraces built in the 1870s as part of the Milkwood Estate.
