Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market an unusually spacious six-bedroom semi-detached period family house, offering over 2,300 square feet of flexible accommodation, generous reception space, a mature rear garden and private driveway on Kingsmead Road. Arranged over three substantial floors, this characterful home offers considerably more space than many properties at a similar price point, with excellent potential for the next owner to update, reconfigure and make their own.

Set back from the street with a private driveway, the handsome semi-detached façade features an attractive bay-fronted exterior and immediately conveys the generous proportions found within.

The ground floor is particularly impressive, providing several distinct reception and entertaining spaces. The elegant front reception room is centred around a wide bay window and feature fireplace, while the spacious kitchen offers plentiful cabinetry, generous worktop space and room for everyday dining. A sash window overlooks the garden, and a connected dining room provides a natural setting for family meals and entertaining.

To the rear, a further reception room with feature fireplace opens through bi-folding doors into the conservatory. Overlooking the mature garden, this versatile space could work equally well as a relaxed sitting room, playroom, home office or additional entertaining area, creating a wonderful connection between the house and garden. A guest WC completes the ground floor.

Outside, the mature rear garden is a real asset. Established planting and mature greenery create a secluded setting, with a substantial lawn, space for outdoor dining and entertaining, and a useful shed to the rear. Combined with the private driveway to the front, this is a particularly valuable combination of outdoor space and off-street parking.

Back inside, the two upper floors provide six well-proportioned bedrooms, offering considerable flexibility for a growing family, guests and home working. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the property and is particularly impressive, with a bay window and additional window providing excellent natural light. A feature fireplace, built-in bookshelves and fitted cabinetry add character and practicality, while the remaining bedrooms provide plenty of scope to create children's rooms, guest accommodation, dedicated studies or hobby spaces. A spacious family bathroom serves the upper floors and includes a distinctive bathtub with overhead shower.

One of the property's greatest strengths is its sheer scale. At over 2,300 square feet, the house provides substantial accommodation and exceptional flexibility, with generous proportions, period character and plentiful storage including built-in cupboards and loft space. While the property would now benefit from updating, this presents an appealing opportunity to put a personal stamp on a sizeable period home, with scope for future reconfiguration or extension subject to the necessary consents.

Kingsmead Road is a leafy residential street, ideally positioned between Tulse Hill, West Norwood and Streatham, allowing residents to enjoy the best aspects of each neighbourhood while remaining tucked away from the bustle. There are local shops, pubs, restaurants and even a pottery studio nearby, with Tulse Hill train station just an eight-minute walk away offering direct trains to London Bridge and central London via Southern Rail and the Thames Link, including Blackfriars in under twenty minutes.

The village-esq vibe of West Norwood high street is also around a nine-minute stroll away, boasting a Picturehouse cinema, eateries and shopping facilities, whilst Streatham's vibrant high street and pretty Herne Hill are also within easy walking distance. Brockwell Park is a short meander down the road, with its iconic 1930s Lido among its myriad attractions. Brixton is also a short bus journey away with buses running twenty-four hours a day.

The area is also well regarded for its schooling options, with highly regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, including the much-loved Hitherfield Primary School.

Tulse Hill area highlights

Perfectly placed between Streatham, Dulwich, Brixton and the up and coming West Norwood, this area is one of the hidden gems of London. It will soon find itself on the move with its proximity to Brockwell Park, its larger than average Victorian housing stock and its transport links to central London. Brockwell park being on the doorstep cannot be underestimated in terms of lifestyle value, from its amazing views over the city to its beautiful hills and grand trees to its tennis courts, the universally lauded Lido spa complex, regular events, great pubs that border it and community gardens (and spirit). The high streets of West Norwood and West Dulwich are just minutes away too.
