THE PROPERTY:
This property offers four bedrooms (4th bedroom is a single) over three floors. With almost 1350 sq ft of space plus a multi use garden room (renovated and extended in recent months) as well as a shed, easterly and westerly front and rear gardens, the house is generous in both proportion and features. Our VR tour and HD videos on YouTube and TikTok will do a great job of showing buyers exactly how feature rich the house is. Please also wait to view the end of the videos which include some footage of Baxter Field located at the end of the road (the current owners use Baxter Field as their second garden given it's only a few steps away).
Two of the greatest attractions of the location are not obvious in the visuals so we will offer a short description of each.
The house in WITHIN THE CATCHMENT FOR ELIOT BANK SCHOOL which is one of the most highly acclaimed and desirable schools locally. The school is rated "Outstanding" and has been voted in Ofsted's top 10% of schools in the country. The catchment area for the school is very small in comparison to many other schools locally. We have checked the catchment area via the website locrating.com and suggest buyers view this themselves.
Charlecote Grove is a small road reported to only have 14 houses along it which are mainly owner occupied. All 14 houses share something quite special - an access gate to Baxter Fields at the end of the Grove. Given the small number of houses along the grove, there is a fantastic community spirit and residents come together for special occassions such as the an annual street party.
Baxter Field is a small local park with an area of open grassland and a children's playground. Known as Baxters to the locals, its hidden between the local properties that surround it. It's another little gem in this part of town alongside the woods and golf course we'll describe in more detail below. The park is reported to be associated with significant people from the printing industry that lived in the area historically such as George Baxter who the park was named after.
In our opinion the house is well suited to families who are targeting local schools, want to be close to green spaces (Baxters, the Horniman play park is also around the corner, as is Sydenham Woods, Horniman Museum and Gardens and the highly acclaimed Sydenham and Dulwich Golf Course)
SCHOOLS:
Charlecote Grove is in proximity to many schools some of which have been rated in Ofsted's top 10%. In our experience, this a very attractive feature of the location. Some of the schools are listed below however, please note that there are several other highly rated schools locally:
Dulwich College - Church of England, boys, kindergarten, primary and secondary. This is a private school.
Sydenham Girls School (Girls Day School Trust) - primary and secondary. This is a private school.
St Dunstan's College - Church of England, mixed, primary and secondary. This is a private school.
Sydenham School - secondary state girl school.
Forest Hill Boys - secondary state boy school.
Elliot Bank - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Outstanding".
Fairlawn - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Outstanding".
Kilmorie - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Outstanding".
Dalmain - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Good".

London Victoria in approximately 40 minutes
Canary Wharf in approximately 24 minutes
Alongside the train links you will find several bus routes on the south circular which include 122 and 185 to Crystal Palace and Victoria to name a few.
SHOPPING, DINING OUT AND RECREATION
As well as having a Sainsbury's in both Forest Hill and Sydenham, Forest Hill is well served with a variety of high-quality independent shops, including a renowned traditional butcher. There are also gastro pubs, a gym, cafe?s, delis and restaurants to name but a few of its excellent amenities.
Some of our favourite local eateries span across both Forest Hill, Honor Oak and Sydenham and include Miss Margarita and Bona (sour dough pizza restaurants), Canvas and Cream (great local cafe? serving a selection of cakes, food and drink. They also host some art exhibitions) and the award-winning Babur Indian restaurant.
Off the high street in the town centre you'll find Forest Hill pools and library both of which have undergone refurbishment and located at the end of Thorpewood Avenue.
Forest Hill pools is known for its swimming pool facilities but is also a local leisure centre with a gym and fitness classes.
The Horniman Museum and Gardens is a well-known local point of interest and can be found just beyond Forest Hill town centre. It's recognized as a popular family entertainment venue and has been featured in "Time Out". With regular events such as a farmer's market, live music and seasonal festivals to name a few, there is always something to enjoy at the Horniman.
Alongside the Horniman, other local attractions include One Tree Hill at the top of Honor Oak Rise and offers some of the most breath-taking views across London and the city skyline. In our opinion this is a hidden gem.

You will also find nature reserves in proximity of the property on Devonshire Road and Garthorne Road.
Dulwich Park is in proximity, offering circa 29 hectares and is packed with historic features, exciting facilities, and perfect picnic spots. Refurbished in 2006, the "Green Flag awards" winning park offers a children's playground, an excellent cafe, and a popular cycle hire outlet. The Francis Peek centre has a varied programme of activities to suit everyone.
Sydenham Hill Woods is where you will find the highly acclaimed Cox's Walk (an avenue through the woods created in 1742 by publican Francis Cox) is another amazing landmark in proximity of the house. The Woods are a unique mix of new and ancient woodland, with remnants of Victorian gardens and is London Wildlife Trust's oldest nature reserve. Made up of approximately 11 hectares, Sydenham Hill Wood forms part of the largest remaining tract of the old Great North Wood. The wood is home to more than 200 species of trees and plants as well as rare fungi, insects, birds and woodland mammals. In the 1980s, Sydenham Hill Wood was saved from development threats, a testament to the determination of local people to safeguard nature. It became London Wildlife Trust's first nature reserve in 1982 and Cox's Walk came under the Trusts management in 1998.
Tucked behind Sydenham Hill Wood you will find yet another great attraction. The ever-popular Dulwich & Sydenham Hill Golf Club, which was founded in 1894. The golf course was designed by the great Harry S Colt and is set among mature oaks on the slopes of Sydenham Hill overlooking Dulwich College and enjoys a deserved lofty status among the capital's golfing elite.
Lordship Lane Dulwich offers a vast array of popular gastro pubs, well-established cafes and restaurants, highly acclaimed local independent businesses such as butchers, cheesemongers, fishmongers, wine and craft beer retailers to name but a few. It has an abundance of indie shops and its trendy, easy-going vibe is extremely sought after. With a Picture House cinema, Lordship Lane is famed as the home of famous children's writer Enid Blyton who was born at number 354. A blue plaque marks the spot. Today it is a hardware store, but Lordship Lane is still a great place to head to with a bunch of adventurous friends for great food and drink culture.
If you ever desire a further choice of drinking and eating establishments, the vibrancy of Dulwich Village can be found a walk or bus ride away. Dulwich Village is a charming historical village which was given conservation status in 1968. This upmarket area of South East London oozes charm and appeal. Highly acclaimed for its art gallery, green spaces and Belair House (a popular restaurant, wedding and events venue), Dulwich Village continues to entice high net worth individuals and families due to the varied and substantial family homes on offer and its world class schools.
If that wasn't enough, Crystal Palace Park is an English Heritage Grade II listed park which has been renovated is also accessible form the property. It is said to be one of the largest parks in South London and one of the most significant in Britain. It is home to the National Sports Centre, and offers a number of recreational activities and a variety of heritage features including, Italian terraces, café, children's play area, former boating lake, maze, fishing lake, concert bowl, children's farm and the highly acclaimed and wonderful Crystal Palace Park dinosaurs.
