Milkwood Road, London, Lambeth, SE24

A charming Victorian three-bedroom home arranged over two levels, blending period character with easy everyday living. A welcoming hallway with original detail leads to a bright, bay-fronted sitting room with ornate cornicing and a fireplace. Beyond, a dining room creates a defined space for entertaining or home working. To the rear, the long eat-in kitchen has plenty of wall and base units for storage and access to the garden—ideal for summer suppers and weekend pottering. Upstairs, two comfortable double bedrooms are complemented by a versatile third bedroom that works well as a nursery or study. A family bathroom and separate WC sit off the landing. Throughout, high ceilings, sash windows and timber floors add warmth and character, while the layout offers clear scope to style and improve to taste. The entire front elevation has been fitted with double glazing for improved thermal performance, and the principal bedroom benefits from acoustic double-glazed windows, providing excellent sound reduction and a notably quieter night’s sleep. The garden is a standout feature: a deep, leafy plot with patio, planting and lawn, notably larger than many on the street. It is an inviting backdrop for play, planting and long afternoons outside.

Set in the heart of Herne Hill, you are moments from Brockwell Park for the Lido, tennis and open meadows, with the much-loved Sunday market, cafés, restaurants and pubs close at hand. Herne Hill station provides swift services to Victoria, Blackfriars, City Thameslink and St Pancras, while frequent buses place Brixton for the Victoria line and North Dulwich for London Bridge within easy reach. Everyday shops and conveniences are on your doorstep, and wider links via the South Circular are straightforward.
