Property description
We hold Edwardian homes in particularly high esteem and this splendid six bedroom specimen demonstrates why. From the magically high ceilings to the almost unbelievably wide halls and landings, the reassuringly huge room sizes to the grand stairs and stained glass - we're confident it will win your heart as it did ours. The living space is suitably majestic, stretching to no fewer than three large reception rooms and a vast, bright and airy kitchen/diner. There's a variety of well-maintained period features in addition to the stained glass. All of the bedrooms are doubles and you'll discover with delight a fantastic loft conversion - the craftsmanship of the staircase is noteworthy in itself. A red care alarm system keeps it all secure. All in all a wonderful spot to call home.
The impressive facade and front garden (with OSP for two cars) invites you inward to find a sizeable hallway with pale green walls, cornicing and stripped boards. A wide high arch leads you forth. The first reception/study sits to the right with an original feature fireplace – we love that tiling! Mature Wisteria offers a natural framing to the front aspect sash window. A second reception of slightly more epic proportions encourages you to the far side of the hall to find two further front aspect double glazed windows. There's a gorgeous period style fireplace with solid wooden mantel - we can already hear the crackle of your first winter fire. The third reception enjoys French doors to the decked patio and onto the garden. It's a considerably wide, bright room with picture rails separating complimentary wall shades. The hall at this point turns to an L-shape and widens to house a gently curving original staircase. Light gushes down through a raised stained glass window. A spandrel under the stairs offers generous storage for the Dyson et al.
The vast kitchen/diner is separated by a wide serving hatch. You'll seat a banquet with ease. The kitchen leads on to a utility area with space and plumbing for the washing machine and a handy wc. A beautiful period bread oven sits back in the kitchen - it's a real conversation piece. Heading up that rather handsome staircase you can examine the detail of the stained glass window. The landing is incredibly generous - perfect for building the flat packed furniture or wrapping the Christmas presents. One could even have a seating arrangement or telephone seat. The two front aspect double bedrooms are each interconnected. They both enjoy two windows and original fireplaces. A third sizeable double comes further along the hall with another joyous original feature fireplace, storage and a view of the garden. Your fourth and fifth bedrooms rest to the rear of the landing. Both have rear aspects and the feature fireplaces you'll have come to expect. The rear room further benefits from a super little alcove - it's a fab spot for spying down over the garden. The final climb rewards your efforts with a suitably impressive loft bedroom awash with Velux windows and eaves storage. A bright, modern shower room completes the tour.
You're situated within easy reach of Sydenham Road (the high street) and an easy walk from both Sydenham and Forest Hill stations (Overland services take approximately 12 minutes to London Bridge and 22 to London Victoria). The London Overground Line is a roaring success whisking people from Sydenham to Shoreditch and beyond in no time. You can be at Canary Wharf in around 20 minutes! There are also a number of handy bus routes just a 2 minute walk away. Out and about, The Blue Mountain Café and The Dolphin are popular destinations. If you're shopping, there's a local Co-Op and Tesco in the High Street, or a 3 minute drive away at Bell Green - the Sainsbury's Superstore and a new Retail Park including B&Q, Next and PC World - Venturing further? Dulwich Village, Crystal Palace, Forest Hill and Beckenham are all but a 5-10 minute drive. Mayow Park is practically on your doorstep - just a three minute walk away
