Holmdene Avenue, London, SE24

Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Herne Hill, this spacious five-bedroom Victorian house offers over 2,160 sq. ft of flexible living space, thoughtfully extended and enhanced with a loft conversion and a full side return extension.

The ground floor has been reconfigured to create an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, extended into the side return and flooded with natural light via skylights and full-width sliding glass doors. A large central island, sleek cabinetry, and generous prep space make it a practical yet sociable hub for daily living and entertaining. This space opens directly onto a well-maintained, landscaped garden.

To the front, the elegant double reception retains original period features, including cornicing, fireplaces, ceiling roses and tall sash windows, offering charm, warmth, and functionality.

Across the upper floors are five generously sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the first floor and provides excellent space for storage. On the top floor, the converted loft now serves as a highly versatile fifth bedroom. With good proportions, natural light, and eaves storage, it can comfortably be used as a guest bedroom, dedicated home office, creative studio or teenager’s retreat—tailored to the needs of a growing family.

Two stylish family bathrooms—one on each upper level—complete the layout, both finished with clean lines and quality fixtures.

The private rear garden is framed by mature planting and includes both patio and lawn areas, perfect for outdoor entertaining or quiet moments in the sun.

Holmdene Avenue is one of the area's most popular streets, ideally located for access to Herne Hill station, Brockwell Park, and the independent cafés, shops, and schools of both Herne Hill and Dulwich Village.
