Property description

This incredibly lovely corner cottage sits on Sydenham's exclusive Halifax Street, just off Kirkdale. Inside are two receptions, a huge kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and a private 40ft garden. The current owner has carefully and cleverly renovated the house to an impeccable standard - the decor is classy yet homely, with a real 'rustic' feel throughout. This part of the world offers many attractions. You're within an easy walk of both Forest Hill and Sydenham with excellent transport links, bars, shops and parks. 

Enter through the country-cottage front garden, complete with white picket fence. On entry of the house, you have the first reception to your right; there are original stripped wooden floors underfoot, ornate cornicing, a window to the front and a working fireplace. To your left is the second reception (or bedroom) in the same style and size with another pretty fireplace and antique French shutters. Head back out to the hall and past the stairs (plus useful under-stairs cupboard to your left) and you arrive in the kitchen. There are masses of cream units (everything is integrated) and stone worktops and two overhead skylights really brighten the space. There's plenty of dining-room in here too, and the original exposed brick wall makes a great conversation piece. Again, floors are stripped back and wooden bi-folding doors lead directly onto the south facing patio and garden, complete with a fruitful apple tree and your own gardeners shed/storage space. This is not overlooked at all and makes a nice low-maintenance space for you, your favourite companions and potted plants! At the other end of the kitchen is a discreet door that leads to a cool and compact guest w.c.

Upstairs you'll find a surprisingly large landing with sash windows to the back and a skylight overhead. On your left is the first double bedroom - a very calming space with simple decor more wooden floors and lots of roof storage in amongst the vaulted ceilings. On the other side of the hall is the second double with a front facing sash, vaulted ceiling and skylight. Next is the bathroom. Recently re-fitted, it's seriously super with a white suite, huge rain-effect shower over the tub and beautiful fired earth tiled heated floor.

Approximately 10 minutes foot time will have you at either Sydenham or Forest Hill stations, with fast and regular services to London Bridge and Victoria. The London Overground Line will whizz you hither thither - it's proving a real hit. Just down the road, Forest Hill has a library, swimming pool and gym. Eating out? Go no further than round the corner for an excellent Japanese meal at Hibagon Sushi & Grill or pop into '161' a new organic wine bar. Sore head? Fig & Pistachio café does great homemade French delicacies. Take a short drive to Dulwich Village or Crystal Palace Triangle for more options. Sydenham Wells Park and Crystal Palace Park are both within easy reach for a walk or a picnic!
