Summary - 20, Whittell Gardens SE26 4LN
4 bed 2 bath House
Extended open-plan living with bi-folds and strong local schools.
South-facing private garden with level lawn and mature planting
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Upper Sydenham, this well-proportioned 1930s semi delivers flexible family living across 1,406 sq ft. The ground-floor extension creates a large open-plan kitchen / dining / family room with skylight, island, integrated appliances and full-width bi-fold doors that open onto a sunlit south-facing garden — ideal for everyday family life and entertaining.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a single fourth bedroom, an ensuite and a family bathroom, giving good sleeping space and practical shower facilities. The front reception benefits from a wide bay and bespoke shutters, and Herringbone/parquet flooring and tasteful finishes are carried through the main living areas for a contemporary yet characterful feel.
Practical positives include off-street parking with rear access, double glazing fitted post-2002, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. The cul-de-sac location, nearby green and strong local schools make this especially suitable for families seeking safe streets and convenient schooling.
Buyers should note the house retains its original solid brick walls which were built without modern cavity insulation (assumed), so further insulation work could be considered to reduce running costs long-term. Council tax is moderate (band D), and while the property is presented to a high standard, buyers should assess whether any additional modernisation would be wanted in secondary rooms.
