This elegant Grade II listed mid-terrace townhouse blends period character with a large, contemporary ground-floor extension. Three bedrooms across three storeys provide flexible family accommodation; the open-plan kitchen/diner with full-width glazing creates a bright entertaining hub that opens onto a south-facing garden. The property is freehold and offers useful living space (approx. 1,176 sq ft) in a convenient Sydenham location with fast broadband and good local schools.
Buyers should note the listed status: external and many internal changes will be restricted and require listed-building consent, which can add cost and delay. The building is of solid-brick construction with no wall insulation assumed, so energy improvements are limited and may need specialist approaches. The home currently has a single bathroom for three bedrooms and the façade and yard show evidence of minor external maintenance and vegetation clearance needed.
For families seeking a characterful home near Sydenham rail and overground connections, this house offers immediate liveability combined with long-term potential. The strong, versatile kitchen/diner and south-facing garden deliver everyday comfort and entertaining space. Budget and timescales should allow for listed-building considerations and potential fabric upgrades (insulation, decoration), but the property’s size, location and freehold tenure present a rare opportunity for a stylish, period family home.
