Milkwood Road, London, SE24

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.
