Derby Hill, Forest Hill, SE23

Offered to the market chain-free, this three-bedroom semi-detached home is well positioned in Forest Hill, with an impressive 80ft rear garden and approved planning permission for both a rear kitchen extension and loft dormer conversion. Well maintained by the current owners, the property offers comfortable living space as it stands, with the opportunity to create a substantially larger family home in the future.

The ground floor comprises a bright front reception room with a bay window overlooking the front garden, while to the rear, an open-plan kitchen and dining room provides a sociable space for everyday family life. The kitchen features modern fitted units, a central island with breakfast bar and French doors opening directly onto the garden.

Extending approximately 80ft, the rear garden is a particular highlight. Landscaped across several levels, it offers a generous lawn, paved patio and a more secluded seating area towards the rear, providing plenty of space for children to play, outdoor dining or relaxing in the afternoon and evening sunshine. Two useful sheds provide additional storage, while side access via the shared driveway adds further practicality.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two doubles with built-in wardrobes, alongside a family bathroom with a separate bath and walk-in shower. With planning permission already approved for a rear extension and loft dormer, buyers have the opportunity to significantly increase the accommodation and adapt the layout to suit their needs.

The property is conveniently located for Forest Hill town centre, with its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. Forest Hill Station provides London Overground and National Rail services into Central London, while the Horniman Museum and Gardens, Forest Hill Pools and a selection of well-regarded local schools are all within easy reach.

Combining a generous plot, an established residential setting and the benefit of approved extension plans, this is a great opportunity for buyers looking for a family home they can enjoy now and develop over time.
