Set on one of Telegraph Hill’s most sought-after roads, this stunning three-storey, four bedroom, Victorian home offers 2,115 sq ft of beautifully presented living space, blending period charm with thoughtful modern touches.
On the raised ground floor, an expansive double reception room welcomes you with polished natural wood flooring and soft sage-green walls, creating a warm, homely feel. A large bay window floods the room with natural light and frames views over the iconic Telegraph Hill Park, while an elegant fireplace forms a striking focal point. Original cornices and coving add to the character. Also on this level, you’ll find the first of four bedrooms – a generous double with a bay window overlooking the garden, offering a tranquil retreat. A handy shower room, WC, and laundry area complete this floor.
Upstairs, the rear bedroom is another spacious double, boasting panoramic views across the London skyline – the perfect vantage point for New Year’s Eve fireworks. The family bathroom is vibrant and stylish, fitted with colourful tiles, a full-sized bathtub, and a separate walk-in waterfall shower. The middle bedroom features a classic fireplace and built-in cupboard space, while the principal bedroom enjoys a large bay window, hardwood flooring, and another feature fireplace. Overlooking the park, it feels worlds away from the bustle of London.
On the ground floor, two additional reception rooms provide versatile space – currently used as a guest bedroom and a study with bespoke storage. Clever under-stairs storage leads to the kitchen, where sleek teal cabinetry, stone-style countertops, and light grey floor tiles create a fresh, modern finish. The rear dining area is designed for family living, with built-in bench seating around the table.
French doors open to a beautifully landscaped, layered garden. A tiled terrace at the front leads onto a manicured lawn and flower beds, stretching to the rear where you’ll also find side access and a garage.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial Victorian home in one of SE London’s most desirable locations – perfectly balancing timeless character with modern family comfort.
