Property description
A reassuringly spacious and beautifully presented two bedder with share of freehold awaits your attention on the ground floor of this landmark, detached period building (built circa 1860) in Upper Sydenham. Indeed, the proportion is more suited to a three bedroom property. The living space sprawls generously (you'll find it hard to fill) and the apartment itself is a classic mix of where old and characterful (almost fairy-tale like) meets modern design. Your fixtures and fittings are all expertly chosen as is the decor and there's a sprinkling of period features too. The house is listed as a house of historical interest and as soon as you lay eyes on it you will see why. Your private rear garden is wide, well stocked and wonderful - the perfect cherry on a very sweet cake! Location wise you're spoilt rotten with nearby Wells Park, Sydenham High Street, Forest Hill,Crystal Palace and Dulwich.
You'll gain access to the flat through a large front garden with plenty of greenery where a rather fetching front door leads through to the well maintained communal hallway where you'll find your flat's entrance. The inner hall presents itself well with floral wallpaper, dado rails and some handsome wooden flooring. A deep recessed storage cupboard will house the Dyson, ironing board, coats, brollies and whatever else you need to conceal. On the subject of storage, the apartment always comes with its own private cellar, ideal for keeping those bigger items out of sight. Dead ahead lies the first bedroom which faces over the private rear garden - it's a pleasant space with white wash floor boards and plenty of space for a double bed. The lavishly proportioned living space begins its charm offensive off the entrance hall stretching confidently forth into a wide and insatiably airy dining/lounging area. You'll easily seat a banquet with space left over for cocktails. The rear section of the room enjoys an exposed brick feature ‘loft like’ wall and gorgeous feature fireplace - that tiling! It’s not just for show either as the fireplace is a working fireplace really cosy during the winter months.
The rich hardwood flooring continues left to a compact hall off which the contemporary kitchen sits. There's an illuminating serving hatch through to the dining area and some excellent stainless steel work tops. A four ring gas hob, oven and integrated microwave sweeten the deal yet further. The bathroom is fully tiled and fabulous boasting a funky white suite and wet room style shower section with drencher - we like! Your second bedroom, the master bedroom completes the interior tour nicely with a pleasant dual aspect, snazzy feature wall, copious amounts of in-built modern storage and more of those fancy floorboards. You'll find a large semi open plan storage area off the dining room - it's ripe for development into further accommodation (a third bedroom, sun room or studio)? This currently offers direct access to the front garden. The private rear garden itself is a real joy and spans the full width of the building ideal for relaxing in the summer months or for entertaining friends and family and having a BBQ. There's a wealth of mature greenery and some pretty pink, red, white and yellow roses.
Buses zipping you in all directions are on your doorstep on Kirkdale (literally at the end of your road). Sydenham station for trains is a 10 minute walk for services to London Bridge and the newly opened east London line. You can stop off at the new Blue Mountain Café on Kirkdale before taking your journey. Dulwich Village and Crystal Palace are a short drive or bus ride for large and famous parks and eating establishments. This pad really does put you right in the centre of things as well as being a quiet and peaceful home to relax in.
