Lovingly cared for by the same family for more than twenty years, it combines period character, generous proportions and practical family living in one of the area's most desirable settings.<br/><br/>The handsome double reception room spans the front of the house and provides an exceptional entertaining space, complete with a working Victorian tiled fireplace, attractive original detailing and beautifully restored wooden flooring.<br/><br/>To the rear, a generous kitchen and breakfast room overlooks the beautiful garden, a tranquil and private space extending to approximately sixty feet and enjoying sunlight throughout the day thanks to its favourable South-East orientation. Bathed in natural light from the bay window and glazed rear doors opening onto the garden, this has been the heart of family life for many years — equally suited to relaxed everyday living and larger gatherings. There is also a useful utility area, guest WC and cellar storage, adding practicality to the already impressive footprint.<br/><br/>The upper floors host five genuine double bedrooms arranged over two levels, alongside two bathrooms, including a superb loft-converted principal suite with en-suite shower room and charming Juliette balcony overlooking the garden. The accommodation feels wonderfully balanced, ideal for growing families seeking both versatile living and long-term flexibility. Rarely do homes combine such generous proportions, original character and long-term family flexibility in such a coveted Herne Hill setting .<br/><br/>Fawnbrake Avenue is one of Herne Hill’s most desirable residential streets, perfectly positioned to enjoy the vibrant local community. Just moments away lies Brockwell Park, offering landscaped gardens, sports facilities and the famous Brockwell Lido. The independent cafés, restaurants and boutique shops of Herne Hill are on the doorstep and the Herne Hill Market is a popular Sunday attraction featuring local produce and crafts. Herne Hill railway station is a ten-minute stroll away, providing excellent transport links across London, including direct access to Victoria, Blackfriars and Elephant & Castle. In the other direction, the upmarket bakeries, delis and amenities of Dulwich Village are just a fifteen-minute amble. The culinary delights of Brixton and the start of the Victoria Line, operating 24 hours at weekends, are also close by, a short bus ride or leisurely walk away. Regular day and night buses operate in the area, whisking you to other parts of London such as East Dulwich and Peckham.<br/><br/>A much-loved family home, combining elegance and long term flexibility, ready for its next chapter.<br/><br/>Freehold.<br/><br/>
