Rare to the market is this incredible four bedroom double fronted detached family home built by Ted Christmas on the very sought-after Church Rise in Forest Hill. His most prominent houses are along Perry Vale and Church Rise and do not often become available. Ted Christmas was a prominent builder and architect in Forest Hill, SE23, during the early 20th century. These houses have intricate woodwork features and were so characteristic that they became known as "Christmas houses."
This stunning period property offers over 2000 sqft and is a true piece of architectural beauty. With sash windows and stained glass a major feature in many parts and beautiful covings offered in many of the rooms this is one of Ted Christmas’s most impressive properties.
The property is set back from this quiet leafy road and you will find a driveway surrounded by an array of beautiful plants and trees.

Following on from this you will find a downstairs cloakroom/WC and kitchen which oozes character and features such as brass fixtures, beautifully carved wooden cupboards and surfaces.
The garden is tranquil and offers a haven for family living. There is an array of beautiful plants and trees as well as a separate patio area for seating and relaxation. This leads to a garage which can be used for storage but also offers the opportunity for extension STP.
