3 bedroom terraced house to rent

Beautiful three bedroom mid-century townhouse in Forest Hill, three floors with significant living space and large private gardens on this sought-after family-friendly cul-de-sac.

The house

The ground floor is centred around a beautiful open-plan kitchen, dining room and living room that stretches from front to back. The kitchen has been fitted with terrazzo worktops, a striking brass-topped island and plenty of storage, and comes fully equipped with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washer/dryer and a 40-bottle wine fridge. The dining area to the rear is a lovely, relaxed space with large patio doors that open straight out onto the garden, with lots of natural light. Original maple parquet and cork flooring run throughout the ground floor, adding warmth and character.

Outside, the garden is a real highlight — generous in size with a decked terrace directly off the house, planted borders and a quieter seating area tucked away at the bottom.

Upstairs on the first floor there is a bright living room with views across South East London, a double bedroom currently set up as a study with built-in storage, and a contemporary shower room with a large walk-in shower.

The top floor is home to the principal bedroom, which benefits from large walk-in wardrobe and full-width windows, as well as a third double bedroom with built-in storage. A bathroom with both a bath and overhead shower is also on this this level, with a skylight on the landing keeping things light and airy.

Further storage can be found in the loft, and the house has gas central heating throughout with carpets in the upstairs bedrooms.

The community

Set within the quiet Grassmount cul-de-sac in Forest Hill, the house sits in a green and peaceful setting with a shared communal garden to the front. Grassmount is known for its strong sense of community, with regular gatherings throughout the year including summer parties, bonfire night and Christmas carols, a great place for young families and those that value a strong local community

Forest Hill has a good range of independent cafes, restaurants and coffee shops, with a mix of cuisines including Thai and Indian, alongside several specialist coffee spots. There are also three local pubs and a wine bar, all within a ten-minute walk.

The nearby Horniman Museum and Gardens is local highlight, offering landscaped gardens, a cafe, museum spaces and a popular farmers' market held every Sunday, just a short walk from the house. Larger green spaces are also close by, including Sydenham Hill Woods, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye Park.
