One of the most iconic houses, perched high up on top of Ringmore Rise, with some of the best views over the London Skyline, is this utterly unique DETACHED 4/5 double bedroom family home. The house is truly one of a kind as it’s an architecturally designed, bespoke house constructed of timber, steel, concrete and lots of glazing to capture the stunning views and sunsets over the London Skyline.

The house offers a generous 2932 sqft (272.4 sqm), benefiting from triple glazed argon filled glazing, solid wood floors, underfloor heating throughout, off street parking, garage, two utility rooms, and large 42ft private rear garden.

The main event is the vast reception room that offers a cathedral of space with an enormous gable end filled floor to ceiling with glazing and a mezzanine office under the eaves. There is also a balcony that spans the width of the house perfect for alfresco dining and enjoying the view across London and beyond. The back of the house is West facing which means it has the perfect vista for some amazing Sunsets with the London Skyline. The massive textile sails protect the rear of the house from solar conduction in the warmer months and openings in the roof allow for ventilation. There are also solar panels to for the hot water supply.

The house has an impressive contemporary façade, a bit like a modern chalet one would find in the mountains. It is set back from the street and there is a sloping driveway at street level that leads to the garage. The property is built into the hill over three storeys, with the main entrance on the first floor that bridges over the ground floor entrance. There are separate steps that lead down to the ground floor which provides access to 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, studio room with a kitchenette and a utility room.

Upon entry there is a wide hallway with wooden floors that spread seamlessly throughout the house. The hall offers internal access to the utility room with access to the garage. The kitchen is on the other side of the hall to the front of the house. At the end of the hall is the magnificent reception room and the staircase sits in the middle providing access to the master suite upstairs and the bedrooms on the ground floor.

Upstairs, the master suite occupies the whole of the top floor in the eaves. The bedroom is a generous double with fitted storage and is flooded with natural light from the bespoke glass at the front of the house and the Velux windows to the side. The bedroom is also accompanied by a luxurious en-suite bathroom with black tiles, white sanitaryware and a large Velux window for light and ventilation.

From the landing towards the rear of the house is the spectacular mezzanine office space, which sits directly above the reception room way down below.
From up here the view over the skyline is spectacular! Working from home will never be the same again.

Back on the ground floor, the kitchen is fully fitted with sleek white cupboards housing the appliances, accompanied by granite worktops and charcoal grey floor tiles. Large sliding doors open to a balcony with a glass balustrade and there are a set of Velux windows in the vaulted ceiling above the kitchen units.

Downstairs at the front of the house, the bedroom has an ensuite shower room and fitted cupboards, it is accompanied by a studio room with a kitchenette. Both of these rooms lead out to a private front garden patio that is paved and is set against rustic concrete tiered steps that provides privacy from the street above. This area could easily be a self-contained annex for an older teenager, guests, or an au pair.

Further down the hallway is a family bathroom clad in black tiles with white sanitaryware including a shower enclosure as well as a bathtub. A window to the side offers natural light and ventilation.

Adjacent is the utility room housing the washing machine and drier as well as having a double sink and a window to the side.

Two more double bedrooms sit either side of the hallway both share direct access via floor to ceiling sliding doors and lovely views to the garden.
There is also direct access to the garden at the end of the hall.

The garden is WEST facing so it captures the afternoon sunshine and it’s a good size approx. 42ft (12.8m) long by 35ft (10.6m) wide. It has been landscaped and neatly manicured. There is a patio area closest to the house which is protected by the balcony above. Beyond is a lush green lawn surrounded by some small architectural trees, plants and shrubs. Even from the ground floor the views can be enjoyed!

Ringmore Rise is a very popular location and a remarkably quiet street, there is a very good community of local residents and great amenities nearby. There are a number of highly rated Ofstead schools locally (Horniman and Fairlawn Primary schools). The rear entrance of Horniman gardens literally around the corner and the museum there is great fun for the family! Ringmore Rise is conveniently flanked by Forest Hill on one side and Honor Oak Park on the other, both areas offering a bustling array of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants for all ages. The nearest station is Forest Hill which is less than 800 meters and Honor Oak Park is also nearby (0.7 miles). Both have the efficient Overground service and National Rail to London Bridge. Nearby green leafy open spaces can be found at Horniman Gardens, One Tree Hill, Dulwich Park and Blythe Hill Fields, most of which offer fantastic views of the London skyline.
