This raised ground‑floor apartment blends Victorian character with contemporary design across 1,586 sq ft. The open-plan kitchen / living / dining room opens via large sliding doors onto a south‑facing garden, creating a bright, flexible heart for family life and entertaining. Three generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms give comfortable accommodation for a growing family or professionals sharing.
Practical strengths include a 980‑year lease with a share of freehold, a modest service charge (£250pcm), useful cellar storage and a dedicated utility room. Transport links are very good with several nearby rail options and local amenities close at hand. There is clear potential to add a garden office subject to planning permission (STPP).
Considerations: the building dates from 1900–1929 and walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation, so upgrading wall insulation or other energy improvements may be desirable to reduce running costs — the current EPC is C. The wider area is an inner‑city, mixed neighbourhood with average local crime statistics and pockets of deprivation; buyers should factor local context into decisions.
Overall this is a spacious, thoughtfully updated apartment offering a rare private garden in Sydenham, suited to families or buyers seeking generous living space with scope to personalise and improve energy performance.
